Install Ubuntu7.10 as the printing server and NAT Server

Install Ubuntu7.10. When printing the server and NAT server-Linux Enterprise Application-Linux server application information, read the following for details. Previously, a 7.04 + CUPS printing server was installed on a PII broken machine, which is running well. That is, the machine is a little slow. On the occasion of the release of 7.10, I decided to find a better machine to reinstall a printing server.

It is simpler than expected. Download and install an ISO file for the Desktop version.

After installation, connect the printer, and the system will find the printer, and then automatically install it, including CUPS. So you only need to select the shared printer in the printer settings. I just couldn't find where to modify the printer sharing name, so I had to manually change it.

$ Sudo vi/etc/cups/printers. conf

This broken machine is still responsible for NAT Internet access for several machines, so it also needs to install Firestarter, which is still an old problem after installation. You need to change the configuration file:

$ Sudo vi/etc/firestarter. sh, add

LANG = en_US

Then, add two policies to Firestarter to allow SSH and IPP. SSH is convenient for remote management, and IPP is for print sharing.
