646 Part V . Running Servers Adding a Remote CUPS Printer If you chose to add a CUPS printer from the Printer Configuration window, you must add the following information to the window that appears: . Server Host name of the computer to which the printer is attached (or otherwise accessible). This can be an IP address or TCP/IP host name for the computer (the TCP/IP name is accessible from your /etc/hosts file or through a DNS name server). . Path Printer name on the remote CUPS print server. CUPS supports the concept of printer instances, which allows each printer to have several sets of options. If the remote CUPS printer is configured this way, you will be able to choose a particular path to a printer, such as hp/300dpi or hp/1200dpi. A slash character separates the print queue name from the printer instance. Complete the rest of the procedure as you would for a local printer (see the Adding a Local Printer in Red Hat section earlier in this chapter). Adding a Remote UNIX Printer If you chose to add a UNIX printer from the Printer Configuration window, you must add the following information to the window that appears: . Server Host name of the computer to which the printer is attached (or otherwise accessible). This is the IP address or TCP/IP name for the computer (the TCP/IP name is accessible from your /etc/hosts file or through a DNS name server). . Queue Printer name on the remote UNIX computer. Complete the rest of the procedure as you would for a local printer (see the Adding a Local Printer in Red Hat section earlier in this chapter). If the print job you send to test the printer is rejected, the print server computer may not have allowed you access to the printer. Ask the remote computer s administrator to add your host name to the /etc/lpd.perms file. (Type lpq -Pprinter to see the status of your print job.) Adding a Windows (SMB) Printer Enabling your computer to access an SMB printer (the Windows printing service) involves adding an entry for the printer in the Printer Configuration window. When you choose to add a Windows printer to the Printer Configuration window (described previously), you are presented with a list of computers on your network that have been detected as offering SMB services (file and/or printing service). You: 1. Select the server (click the arrow next to its name so that it points down). 2. Select the printer from the list of available printers shown. Tip
