For my printer server I made a tar of /etc/cups that get's reinstalled. All others nodes just listen what the cups server announces. No need to do anything for them. If you had to add a local printer, I would setup it like: install the /etc/cups/ppd/<my-printer>.ppd And the section <printer my-printer> ... </printer> from /etc/cups/printers.conf. During install cat <my-printer>.conf >> /etc/cups/printers.conf I.e. no need to use lpadmin and have cupsd running ;) Achim > > /Per > > -- To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen.
