9.9. CUPS printserver
 | There is a bug in pr05, see bug #967. You fix it by running the command ln -sf /etc/cups/cupsd-debian-edu.conf /etc/cups/cupsd.conf |
Once that bug is ironed out, adding printers and instantaneously making them available to all users, and seen by all server is a mather of simply just installing the printer.
If the printer is placed in the backbone switch, that is in the 10.0.2.0/23-network, logon to your Thinclientserver, or Combi-server, and use the built in printermanagement in KDE, which is just a graphic frontend to CUPS. Later you might opt for using a webbrowser and the address http://tjener.intern:631 or http://ltspserver00.intern:631, depending where you actually installed you printer.
 | You must use Konqueror, Firefox will not work. |
| In the screenshots below, notice that the Print system currently used: is CUPS. Make sure that it stays this way, and do not use any of the other printsystems, unless you really know what you are doing. |
First open Konqueror, or just your filemanager, and enter the address print:/, from there choose Manager
| If you are lazy, and a terminaljunkie, start it from the commandline konqueror print:/ |
Now go to Add and choose Add new printers/classes. You could of course just have started with the url print:/manager
Here you just press Next
Here you choose what kind of connection your printer has, I strongly recommend using a network printer, so in this case you must choose Network printer (TCP), then choose Next
