Can anybody point me to a simple method of setting up a print server? I would like to use my inkjet printer on both machines. somthing like bladerunner slowbox | | -------switch--------------- | HP-PSC 1210 I have a few extra NICS if necessary TIA smitty
Configure the 'all in one' printer on box of choice (assuming both run linux variant).
On that box set up CUPS to use the printer, also you could add the printer to a Samba share.
On other computer, set up CUPS again to this time connect to remote print server where the printer is physically connected OR use the SMB:// share thru Samba. Either way you connect remotely, you will have needed to configured cupsd on the server machine.
