#4 Re: Question: Setting up printing in Sarge Posted by Anonymous (65.78.xx.xx) on Sun 6 Nov 2005 at 22:15 First off, you do NOT need samba. (Well, *I* don't have it installed. :) I have 2 sarge boxes sharing one parallel port HP5L laserprinter. These are installed on both boxes, but I'm not sure they're all needed: cups-pdf 1.7.0a-1 PDF printer for CUPS cupsys 1.1.23-10 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server cupsys-bsd 1.1.23-10 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD comman cupsys-client 1.1.23-10 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client pro libcupsimage2 1.1.23-10 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - image libs libcupsys2-gnu 1.1.23-10 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs libgnomecups1. 0.1.14-1 GNOME library for CUPS interaction You will need to edit on each box: /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to set the BrowseAddress and Allow From to match your local ip addresses to enable network printing. cups-pdf is not necessary, but it's really useful to create a pdf file by just "printing" to the pdf "printer." I also didn't need any additional driver packages as the cups packages have the common ones already. You can install the printer from your browser. Have fun!
