Keywords: Linux Printing, Debian, cups system, HP Linux and Image software, Install, Add , Change Printers, Print Server.

The Common UNIX Printing System (or CUPS) is a printing system and general replacement for lpd and other older systems. The CUPS Debian packages forms a nice, powerful and relatively easy to use printing system on Debian. (http://www.cups.org)

No Printer Drivers

Kyoceramita (PPD)

Canon

For copier/printer/scanner like Imagerunner 5065

  1. Download the ppd drivers: http://downloads.canon.com/cpr/software/imagerunner/PPD_v241.exe

  2. run it using wine. This will unzip the PPD to temp folder. Find your printer and use the QX PPD drivers.

CUPS and Samba

This section needs updating as you can setup print server via samba print sharing just by uploading drivers.

When printing to windows printers in an NT domain using SMB the Device URI should read

  smb://username:password@domain/server/printername

This allows Samba to authenticate against a domain controller for acces to the printer queue.

When printing to a Debian CUPS printer from a machine that connects through Samba, you may need to [http://www.owlfish.com/thoughts/winipp-cups-2003-07-20.html set up a CUPS class] to get things to work.

Tips on printer sharing

Printer sharing using Macintosh as the client and Debian as the server

If you have a printer on a debian machine and you want to share it with a Macintosh, so that the Mac can print to the Debian-based printer:

1. Use cups to set up the printer on Debian. You can do this as described above. The Gnome tool for printer configuration works well, and the 100% bullet-proof way is to use the browser-based CUPS configuration.

2. On the Mac (OS 10.4) start Pring and Fax from System Preferences. Use the + button to add a printer. Ignore the 'IP Printer' option: the `Default Browser' should already show the Debian-based printer.

Other printing Systems

Debian has several alternatives available for printing:
