Debian format:
dpkg -i cups-1.1-linux-M.m.n-intel.deb (and press Enter).
Note: RedHat Linux, versions 7.3 and newer, include CUPS support, so software downloading is
unnecessary. CUPS is also the default printing system for Mandrake Linux.
Installing the Xerox PPD on the workstation
The Xerox PPD for CUPS is available on one of the CD-ROMs that came with your printer. From the CD-
ROM, with root privileges copy the PPD into your CUPS ppd folder on your workstation. If you are
unsure of the folder's location, use the Find command to locate the ppd's. An example of the location
of the ppd.gz files in RedHat 8.1 is /usr/share/cups/model.
Adding the Xerox printer
1. Use the PS command to make sure that the CUPS daemon is running. The daemon can be
restarted from Linux using the init.d script that was created when the CUPS RPM was installed.
The command is > /etc/init.d/cups restart. A similar script or directory entry should have been
created in System V and BSD. For the example of CUPS built and installed on a FreeBSD 4.2
machine from the source code, run cupsd from /usr/local/sbin. (cd /usr/local/sbin cupsd and press
Enter).
2. Type http://localhost:631/admin into the address (URL) box of your web browser and press Enter.
3. For User ID, type root. For the requested password, type the root password.
4. Click on [Add Printer] and follow the on screen prompts to add the printer to the CUPS printer list.
Printing with CUPS
CUPS supports the use of both the System V (lp) and Berkeley (lpr) printing commands.
Use the -d option with the lp command to print to a specific printer.
lp -dprinter filename (Enter)
Use the -P option with the lpr command to print to a specific printer.
lpr -Pprinter filename (Enter)
For complete information on CUPS printing capabilities, see the CUPS Software Users Manual available
from www.cups.org/documentation.php.
