14.4.2.2 Using Print Servers other than CUPS
If your network oers print services via print servers other than CUPS, start the YaST
printer module with Hardware > Printer and launch the Print via Network screen from
the left pane. Start the Connection Wizard and choose the appropriate Connection
Type. Ask your network administrator for details on conguring a network printer in
your environment.
14.4.3 Sharing Printers Over the Network
Printers managed by a local CUPS daemon can be shared over the network and so
turn your machine into a CUPS server. Usually you share a printer by enabling CUPS'
so-called “browsing mode”. If browsing is enabled, the local printer queues are made
available on the network for listening to remote CUPS daemons. It is also possible
to set up a dedicated CUPS server that manages all printing queues and can directly
be accessed by remote clients. In this case it is not necessary to enable browsing.
Procedure 14.6: Sharing Printers
1 Start the YaST printer module with Hardware > Printer.
2 Launch the Share Printers screen from the left pane.
3 Select Allow Remote Access. For more detailed conguration, additional options
are available:
• Check For computers within the local network and enable browsing mode
by also checking Publish printers by default within the local network.
• Add the network interface to be used by the CUPS server. If you want to
share your printers via specied network interfaces, add those in the input
box below.
• To restrict access to your CUPS server to certain networks or IP addresses,
specify these via the two input boxes.
4 Click OK to restart the CUPS server and to return to the Printer Congurations
screen.
