Introduction
This is a manual how to make the settings for printing on a printer which is connected to a computer with Pardus and conneted to a network.
The computer with the printer connected is called the "server-PC" and all other computers in the network are called "client-PC".
The printer on the server-PC should be installed and fully funtional.
Ip address of the server-PC
Before continuing it is highly recommended to give the computer with the printer connected a fixed IP address. Look in http://en.pardus-wiki.org/HOWTO:_Setup_a_fixed_IP_address_for_your_computer how to do this.
Settings on server-PC
- Change settings of firewall:
- Open System Settings > Firewall Manager
When there is a mark at {Block incoming connections} >[Edit] and add 631 to Allowed Port Numbers > [OK]
- Close System Settings
- Change (as root) the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (see <== marker)
# Administrator user group... SystemGroup pnpadmin Port 631 <== add this line . . # Only listen for connections from the local machine. . . # Restrict access to the server... <Location /> Order allow,deny Allow @LOCAL <== add this line </Location>
Settings on client-PC
- Add (as root) the following two lines to the file /etc/cups/client.conf:
ServerName localhost ServerName IP.address.of.server-PC <== example ServerName 192.168.0.205
- Add printer in Printer Configuration:
[System Settings] > [Printer Configuration] > [New Printer] > [New Network Printer] > {Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)}
and fill-in at Host: {IP.address.of.server-PC} <== example 192.168.0.100
select [Find Queue...] and select the printer > [OK] > [Verify...]
Select manufacturer [> Forward] select {Models} and {Driver}
[> Forward] > Enter {Printer Name} {Description} {Location} [OK]
[Print Test Page] and if successful [Apply]
