5 INSTALLING PRINTER DRIVERS FOR UNIX/Linux
Configuring UNIX/Linux printing using CUPS
You can configure the CUPS for LPR printing or IPP printing.
Installing the CUPS for LPR printing
The PPD must first be copied onto the local machine, the printer installed, and then the PPD configured. The printer is
then installed and configured using CUPS via the browser.
The PPD is placed in the "/usr/share/cups/model/HS_Series" directory (which will require root privileges and the
HS_Series directory may need to be created). The PPD can be simply copied to the appropriate directory and the CUPS
daemon re-started.
Installing the CUPS for LPR printing
Insert the Client Utilities CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

Log on to the root account and create "HS_Series" directory in the

"/usr/share/cups/model" directory.

Copy the GZIP file into the "/usr/share/cups/model/HS_Series" directory or enter the
following command:
cp HS_CUPS.gz /usr/share/cups/model/HS_Series
A GZIP file is included in the "Admin/CUPS/Usa" folder in the CD-ROM.
Enter the following command:
