To share printer

[satimis]

Hi folks,


ubuntu 7.04 server amd64
IP 192.168.0.10


I'm prepared to allow other PCs on the network sharing the printer connected to the server.


$ apt-cache policy cupsys cupsys-client cupsys-common

What additional packages I have to add? Thanks


/etc/cups/cupsd.conf

# Show shared printers on the local network.
Browsing Off
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow @LOCAL
BrowseAddress @LOCAL

Change "Browsing Off" to "Browsing On"?

# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
Listen localhost:631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock

Change "Listen localhost:631" to "Listen 631"?

# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
  Order allow,deny
  Allow localhost
  Allow @LOCAL
</Location>

Add follows:

Deny all
Allow 127.0.0.1

Then;
sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart


Please advise. TIA

I share my printer through Samba.


#/etc/samba/smb.conf (only the printer share shown here)

...

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = no
# set to yes to allow user 'guest account' to print.
   guest ok = yes
   writable = no
   printable = yes

...
