Installing CUPS on the UNIX workstation
The instructions for installing and building CUPS are contained in the CUPS Software Administrators
Manual, written and copyrighted by Easy Software Products and available for downloading at
www.cups.org/documentation.php. An Overview of the Common UNIX Printing System, Version 1.1, and
a large amount of other descriptive documentation, is also available at this site.
The binary distribution of CUPS is available in tar format with installation and removal scripts, as well as in
rpm and dpkg formats for RedHat and Debian versions of Linux. After logging into the workstation as root
(su) and downloading the appropriate files to the root directory, the installation begins as follows:
Tar format:
After untarring the files, run the installation script with the ./cups.install (and press Enter).
RPM format:
rpm -e lpr
rpm -i cups-1.1-linux-M.m.n-intel.rpm (and press Enter).
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.
