It is possible, using foomatic-configure and lpadmin. For remote IPP printers isn't it sufficient in most situations to use CUPS' browsing facility? Tim, I have tried everything here to do this (I even tried in using the RHEL4 beta) and don't seem to be able to configure a remote cups printer using lpadmin and foomatic-configure. The documentation shows how to configure remote printers for lpd, samba, ncp, and jetdirect cards. but doesn't show how to configure a remote cups printer (without making it lpd compatible). This is why I would like to revisit this issue, or can you show me how to use foomatic-configure with a remote cups printer. Thanks. Use "foomatic-configure -X -p PRINTER -d DRIVER" to create the PPD file (if you don't already have one), put that in /usr/share/cups/model, then add the printer using lpadmin or -- if you prefer -- using http://localhost:631/, either locally or remotely. I don't anticipate adding this functionality (or any other) to the text-mode printconf tool in the near future. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.3) Gecko/20040803 Description of problem: Since you can configure a remote cups-based printer in the gui, this feature should also be available in the text version. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-printer-0.6.47.3.19-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run redhat-config-printer-tui 2.under type there is no entry for a cups-based remote printer 3. Actual Results: Can't be done Expected Results: Should have found an entry for remote cups-based printer Additional info: I consider this important because it makes it nearly impossible to define a remote cups-based printer for systems which are text-based only.
