I have the CUPS printing working from windows desktops and Linux guest to
the printers when using IPP.
I have a few printers that do not support IPP and require LPR/LPD.
I have done the following in setting up LPR/LPD with CUPS on Linux System
z.
We are using zVM 5.3 and SuSE SLES10 SP2.
/etc/xinetd.d/cups-lpd was changed to be disable = no:
/etc/xinetd.d/cups-lpd
service printer
{
disable = no
flags = NAMEINARGS
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = lp
server = /usr/lib64/cups/daemon/cups-lpd:
server_args = cups-lpd -o document-format=application/octet-stream
XINETD was set to autostart at Linux boot for environments 3 and 5.
RCXINETD shows status is 'running'.
I can see these ports are listening on the Linux running CUPS:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:515 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
We obtained the PPD file for the DELL 5100CN from I believe the CUPS
website.
The printer has both PCL and PS type drivers. We have tried to use both the
PCL and the PS drivers
when we define the printer in windows.
When I define the printer on the windows platform I get the message that
either the printer was misspelled or it is not connected. Printer is not
created.
Anyone have any thoughts or have I missed a step somewhere ?
TIA ........................
