| | Configuring CUPS On FreeBSD To Use A Windows Printer |
|---|
| | ==================================================== |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | 1) Install the CUPS meta package/port |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | 2) Install the SAMBA package/port |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | 3) Install the hpijs /package/port |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | - This package is appropriate for HP printers. You may |
|---|
| | need something else for other brands of printer. |
|---|
| | - Make sure ``foomatic-rip`` gets installed |
|---|
| | - Make sure the CUPS lp command replacements get installed |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | 4) Rename ``/usr/bin/lp*`` so that the CUPS equivalents in |
|---|
| | /usr/local/bin will be used |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | 5) Copy any ppd (driver files) needed to:: |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | /usr/local/share/cups/model |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | 6) Install the CUPS backend for SMB:: |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | ln -s `which smbspool` /usr/local/libexec/cups/backend/smb |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | 7) Start the CUPS scheduler:: |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | ln -s /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh.sample /usr/local/etc/rd.d/cups.sh |
|---|
| | /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh start |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | 8) Point browser to http://localhost:631 to install/configure printers |
|---|
| | using URIs in the form: |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | smb://WORKGROUP/user:password@SERVER/SHARENAME |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | Notes |
|---|
| | ===== |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | Samba only needs to be installed for the ``smbspool`` and ``smbutil`` |
|---|
| | programs. If not otherwise needed, it does not have to be running, |
|---|
| | though it may be necessary to create an empty |
|---|
| | ``/usr/local/etc/smb.conf`` file. |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | The ``smbutil`` can be used to debug connections, verify passwords, etc. |
