CommandLine Setup

This hint points to an alternative method using open source software, namely the CUPS system (included with Mac OS X) and the Avahi Bonjour services discovery software. This document outlines how to configure CUPS and Avahi to allow printers to show up on IOS devices and allow printing to them. As a proof of concept cups-pdf was used to create. Since Mac OS 10.2, printing is handled by the CUPS system. While drivers are typically found in /Library/Printers, the folder can contain support files and many other things which are not themselves print drivers, and in the real world there is no canonical location within the folder where the actual driver files are stored. Download CUPS 2.3.3. 13 Dec 2019CUPS 2.3.1. CUPS 2.3.1 is a general bug fix release, including a fix for CVE-2019-2228. A detailed list of changes can be found in the change log included in the download. Download CUPS 2.3.1. Affinity designer mac. Gong paris bataclan 1976 blogspot pictures. 13 Dec 2019CUPS 2.2.13. CUPS 2.2.13 is the last general bug fix release in the 2.2.x series and includes a fix for. OIT has moved to support the built-in Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) in MacOS X 10.5. CUPS replaces the older LPRNG system that was developed and maintained as a custom printing solution by OIT. As a part of this change every user. A little background: Some time ago, back in the 10.3 'era' I think, I installed CUPS on my system. Then along came 10.4.x and broke the version of CUPS I was using (I think that was the story.) So I backed down to CUPS v1.2.12 which I've been using since then. (The details are a little foggy so.

For folks who administer severalmachines with ARD or are comfortable with using the terminal here areinstructions on how to create and configure CUPS printers for WolfCopyusing CUPS command line tools. CUPS printers are created andconfigured using the lpadmintool. Use the command manlpadmin to get details on all of the available options andswitchs for the tool. The following command should create andconfigure a printer using the example of bld-001-color1.
sudo lpadmin -pbld-001-color1 -L 'bld-001-color1' -E -vipp://print.ncsu.edu/printers/bld-001-color1 -o auth-info-required=username,password
-P/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP Color LaserJet 8500.gz

so looking at the command in detail :
sudo lpadmin -executes the command lpadmin as administrative user
-p bld-001-color1-sets the name for the new printer. NOTE this is a lower case p
-L 'bld-001-color1' -sets the information for CUPS printer. NOTE the quotes
-E-makes theprinter enabled. NOTE that there are two capital E's in the manpageand the position in the command string separates enabled from encryption
-vipp://print.ncsu.edu/printers/bld-001-color1-sets theuniveral resource identifier (URI) that configures the printeserver(print.ncsu.edu) and print queue (printers/bld-001-color1)
-oauth-info-required=username,password -sets therequirement for username and password
-P/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP Color LaserJet 8500.gz -gives the PPD to use. NOTE the back slashes to escape the spacesin the names so the unix shells will pass them on correctly. Alsomost all PPDs under Mac OS X 10.5 are located at the path/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources. The switch is an upper caseP. Information on PPD names and where they are stored can befound using the lpinfo command:
Giving a very long list that should look something like this:

With these CUPs command line tools it may also be possible towrite a script to automate printer installation but OIT has not createdsuch a script.
ShortUsername in Authentication Dialog
In the name and password dialog forCUPS Mac OS X 10.5 will automatically fill in the user's full nameinstead of the short username that is required. This annoying asthe end user will have to delete the full name and type in a Unity IDeach time. To change this behaviour issue the following commandsas root in terminal or with ARD Send UNIX..

Open up print queuemanagement in cupsd.conf so users can cancel job, restart and re-enableprinters.
For many reasons a print job can getstalled itself or can stop or disable the local CUPS print queue. By default the settings for the cups daemon process, cupsd, is securedso that only administrators can start, stop, disable or endable printqueues. Also only administrators or job owners can cancel printjobs. Since users may just ' Print and Run' leaving a stoppedqueue or hung job these settings can be opened up using the followingunix commands. WARNING the following commands should be typedcarefully and double checked each time they are sent as they candestroy the cupsd.conf file and disable printing completly ifincorrectly typed!!! Spaces are extremely important in thesecommands!!!
What the perl commands do are to search the cupsd.conf files for thestrings ' Resurme-Printer', ' Enable-Printer', and ' Cancel-Job' (notethe space before each string!) and replace them with nothing and savethe file. This will remove those activities from therestriction rules in cupsd.conf and make them open to everyone printingto use. The launchctl commands simply restart the cupsd printing systemso the changes will take effect. Again use with caution!
What if I want to set up my own printserver using CUPS?
Since we use centralized print servers running on Linux machines wereally do not have documentation on setting up CUPS print serversoftware called cupsd. Lookfor cupsd documentation at http://www.cups.org. However we usethe cupsd.conf file: http://www.ncsu.edu/mac/labs/cupsd.htmlin production with CUPS 1.3.3 serversin case this might help someone.
