Using CUPS
In a Linux environment CUPS is usually used to print via the network. The simplest
setup is to only print via a single CUPS server which can directly be accessed by all
clients. Check Do All Your Printing Directly via One Remote CUPS Server and specify
the name or IP address of the server. Click Test the Server to make sure you have chosen
the correct name/IP address. Leave with OK.
If you print via more than one CUPS server, check Receive Printer Information from
remote CUPS Servers. Specify, whether you want to listen to servers in all networks
available, to servers in your local network, or to specific IP addresses. This setup needs
a running local CUPS daemon that communicates with the remote CUPS servers.
Therefore answer Yes when asked to start a local CUPS daemon.
Using Print Servers other than CUPS
If your network offers print services via print servers other than CUPS, start the Con-
nection Wizard and choose the appropriate Connection type. Ask your network admin-
istrator for details on configuring a network printer in your environment.
5.5.3 Sharing Printers Over the Network
Printers managed by a local CUPS daemon can be shared over the network and so turn
your machine into a CUPS server. Usually you share a printer by enabling CUPS' so
called "browsing mode". If browsing is enabled, the local printer queues are made
available on the network for listening remote CUPS daemons. It is also possible to set
up a dedicated CUPS server, that manages all printing queues and can directly be ac-
cessed by remote clients. In this case it is not necessary to enable browsing.
To share your printer, open the Share Printers view in the YaST printer module. Select
Allow Remote Access and configure your CUPS daemon to be accessible For Computers
Within the Local Network. To enable the browsing mode, also check Publish Printers
by Default Within the Local Network. Then specify the network interface(s) that should
be used by the CUPS server. If you enable more than one interface, you can also enable
or disable the browsing mode on a per interface base. Apply the settings with OK and
allow to restart the CUPS server.
