Create a Linux printing server in Windows

I. preface the office printer is HP color inkjet printer, which has been used for a long time, but with the increase in the printing volume, I found that purchasing ink cartridges is not a small expense (all purchased are original ). Then I got a HP3050 black and white laser printer. The previous color frame was equipped with a network printing module, so the whole office can be used after installation, but now this laser does not carry this module, in addition, the office does not have Windows servers available all day long. In order to complete the task of publishing the printer to the network, I tried one of them on one of my Linux servers.

I. Preface

The printer used in the office is HP color inkjet printer, which has been used for a long time. However, as the printing volume increases, it is found that the purchase of ink cartridges is a small expense (the purchase is all original ). Then I got an HP 3050 black and white laser printer. The previous color frame was equipped with a network printing module, so the whole office can be used after installation, but now this laser does not carry this module, in addition, the office does not have Windows servers available all day long. In order to complete the task of publishing the printer to the network, I finally finished the printing server after one or two days under a Linux server. the installation process is recorded as follows.

II. environment description

Operating system: Centos 5 (compare to RHEL 5) text mode, install the default compilation tool. You have installed Apache, PHP, PureFTP, and Mldonkey software on your own (the software installation and configuration will be available later ). The CPU is P4 2.8 GB, memory is 512 MB, and the two hard disks are 80 GB in total. The HP LaserJet 3050 multi-functional integrated printer uses a USB port. Among them, the official website of HP does not provide Linux drivers, which is also the most difficult place. (Http://h50176.www5.hp.com/support/Q6504A/drivers?
