Configuring printing if you use the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS)

To be able to print using the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS):

• Users must use the /opt/tarantella/bin/lp script for printing.
• CUPS version 1.1.19 or later must be installed.
• CUPS LPD compatability mode must be enabled for any LPD clients.

  If you have any LPD clients on your application server, you must enable the CUPS LPD compatibility mode so that CUPS will accept remote print jobs from LPD clients. The CUPS Software Administrators Manual explains how you enable LPD compatibility mode.

• CUPS 'raw printing' must be enabled.

  On the host on which Secure Global Desktop is installed, enable 'raw printing' in CUPS by editing the /etc/cups/mime.convs and /etc/cups/mime.types files. These files contain comments explaining how to do this (search for 'raw').

• When you run the prtinstall.en.sh script to install a printer on the application server, you may have to use the --cups option to indicate that you are using CUPS.

Note After making changes to your CUPS configuration, you may have to restart the CUPS daemon.
