Ubuntu CUPS printing server

Recently, printer sharing on Windows frequently experienced problems, so we began to consider setting up a Linux printing server. I thought it would be very difficult. Who would think it would be very simple (if there were no mistakes ). Sudoapt-getinstallcupsfoomatic-dbsystem-config-printer. The full name of cups is CommonUNIXPrintingSystem. It supports IPP Service, that is, InternetPrintin.

Sudo apt-get install cups foomatic-db system-config-printer

The full name of cups is Common UNIX Printing System, which supports IPP Service, that is, Internet
Printing Protocol is used to provide the Printing service over the Internet, that is, the printer can be used in the form of http://xxx.xxx/printers. There are many benefits to doing so, because http is a standard network protocol that is stable, reliable, and transparent. It is not like any network neighbors.

To put it bluntly, connect to the printer. my options are hp2105 and usb. After the printer is connected, add the printer in system-system management-printing (which is system-config-printer), select the correct model, and follow the prompts.

Then set the cups service, whether it is shared, whether it can be remotely managed, and whether it can delete other people's jobs.

You can. You can add this printer to other machines, regardless of the system. The access path of the printer is http: // 192.168.0.1: 631/printers/hp2105. It is quite enjoyable to use.
