Hello,
Can someone help me out with a few questions regarding CUPS. I have a home
network consisting of five PCs. A mixture of Windows XP/98 and two running
LE2005. One of the XP machines has a printer directly connected, both of the
Linux machines have a directly connected printer each.
Should I be running a single version of CUPS on one of the Linux boxes or do I
run CUPS on both and do the two CUPS servers talk to each other?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
You should be running CUPS on each Linux machine. If you have are
sharing printers, CUPS on one machine will talk to CUPS on another
machine to send print jobs, report status, etc. (Unless you are running
your security set too high - then the firewall will block this.)
