Printing to shared Linux printers via CUPS
Normally, you don't even have to do this. Here at work our deptarment's 10+ printers all show up on my PowerBook without any work on my part. Make sure the 'Show printers connected to other computers' button in the Preferences of Print Center and any CUPS printers on your subnet should appear automatically. When you use a Print dialog box, there will be a 'Shared Printers >' submenu below your manually added printers in the Printer pulldown menu. If you want one of the shared printers to always be in your primary list as well, just make sure it has the checkbox checked next to it in Print Center.
Same thing here - no config rqd.
I have a Mandrake installation with CUPS installed and a Laserjet 6L on the parallel port. This printer auto-magically showed up in the print center on OS X without me having to do any configuration at all on OS X. The configuration on Linux. box was just to install a laserjet 6 driver (the driver is actually a laserjet4+ghostscript driver - it was the recommended choice of when I installed Mandrake). |
