lpadmin -p ps -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -P \
/usr/share/cups/model/Postscript.ppd.gz -E
The following example configures a network printer:
lpadmin -p ps -v socket://192.168.2.202:9100/ -P \
/usr/share/cups/model/Postscript-level1.ppd.gz -E
For more options of lpadmin, see the man page of lpadmin(1).
During printer setup, certain options are set as default. These options can be modified
for every print job (depending on the print tool used). Changing these default options
with YaST is also possible. Using command line tools, set default options as follows:
1 First, list all options:
lpoptions -p queue -l
Example:
Resolution/Output Resolution: 150dpi *300dpi 600dpi
The activated default option is identified by a preceding asterisk (*).
2 Change the option with lpadmin:
lpadmin -p queue -o Resolution=600dpi
3 Check the new setting:
lpoptions -p queue -l
Resolution/Output Resolution: 150dpi 300dpi *600dpi
When a normal user runs lpoptions, the settings are written to ~/.cups/
lpoptions. However, root settings are written to /etc/cups/lpoptions.
