Adding and/or configuring CUPS printers can be done with lpadmin(8), but
|
|
for a quick and easy (graphical) setup, after starting the CUPS daemon,
|
|
point your browser to:
|
|
http://localhost:631
|
|
|
|
If you want to print to non-Postscript printers or use CUPS bundled PPD
|
|
files (i.e. drivers), you'll need to install gstoraster. You will also
|
|
most probably want to install foomatic-filters which provides a
|
|
universal filter script along with the foomatic-db-engine package which
|
|
will allow you to generate a PPD (Printer Postscript Description) file
|
|
for your printer.
|
|
|
|
Depending on your printer model you may also need to install some driver
|
|
package like (non-exhaustive list): hplip/hpijs, gutenprint, foo2zjs,
|
|
splix...
|
|
|
|
To be able to use CUPS printers from GTK applications, the corresponding
|
|
package needs to be installed: gtk+2-cups and/or gtk+3-cups.
|
|
|
|
USB
|
|
===
|
|
Since USB printing will be handled by libusb, you need to allow the
|
|
_cups user access to the corresponding USB endpoint. To do so, find
|
|
where your printer is attached to using `sudo usbdevs -vd` then change
|
|
the ownerships accordingly.
|
|
|
|
e.g.
|
|
Controller /dev/usb5:
|
|
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x0000), ATI(0x1002), rev 1.00
|
|
uhub5
|
|
port 1 addr 2: full speed, self powered, config 1, USB MFP(0x082f), EPSON(0x04b8), rev 1.00, iSerialNumber L83010704250947490
|
|
ugen0
|
|
|
|
$ sudo chown _cups /dev/ugen0.* /dev/usb3
|
|
|
|
The reason we are changing the user and not the group is that it will
|
|
allow for multi-function devices to work for both printing and scanning
|
|
(e.g. by being owned by _cups:_saned).
|
|
|
|
To preserve your changes after a system update, use rc.local(8).
|
|
e.g. for a multi-function printer/scanner add the following lines:
|
|
chown _cups:_saned /dev/ugen0.* /dev/usb1
|
|
|
|
*** WARNING ***
|
|
ulpt(4) needs to be disable in the kernel (see config(8)) or the printer
|
|
will not be available to libusb.
