Hi, |
2 |
My 80 year old dad has been running Gentoo for 6 years now and done |
3 |
fine. I administer the machine remotely as he lives 400 miles away. |
4 |
Cups is up and running fine on his machine. |
5 |
|
6 |
Now my mom is switching over to Gentoo and I've added & started |
7 |
cups on her computer. I've added a client.conf file pointing at my |
8 |
dad's machine. I'm now trying to figure out if I've configured cupsd |
9 |
correctly on my dad's machine to allow my mom's machine to see it. |
10 |
|
11 |
What commands can I run from the command line to see whether a |
12 |
printer is available? My parents are not terribly computer literate |
13 |
(who is in their 80's) so I need to ensure this is really working |
14 |
before I tell them to use it. |
15 |
|
16 |
Also, if a client points itself at a cups server and finds a |
17 |
printer there, does the client need to install the printer 'locally' |
18 |
telling its own cups that the printer is out there or does the printer |
19 |
just start showing up in applications and cups running on both |
20 |
machines takes care of the printe formatting issues? Essentially, how |
21 |
much does Open Office on the client need to know about the printer on |
22 |
the server? |
23 |
|
24 |
Thanks, |
25 |
