lpadmin -p <printer_name_on_the_server> -E -v ipp://<ip_address_server>/printers/<printer_name_on_the_server> -m +drv:///hp/hpcups.drv/<file_name_ppd_for_printer_model>.ppd You can see <file_name_ppd_for_printer_model> with the command: lpinfo -m -- With respect, Pautov Aleksandr ср, 12 сент. 2018 г. в 20:51, Helmut Jarausch <jarau...@skynet.be>: > Hi, > I'd like to install a very simple configuration but fail (CUPS is my > most hated software) > > I have two machines on a local network (i.e., I don't need any fancy > security mechanisms) > > On one machine - called SERVER - I have a USB printer which works just > fine with CUPS. > I've tried to make it "shared".
