Printing on Linux using CUPS




Title
Printing on Linux using CUPS
Summary
This document describes how to easily print from a Linux system in X-Windows using the Common Unix Printing System. This document, unlike other already existing, will not explain the internal workings of the Linux print subsystem or CUPS itself, however it will show you how to efficiently print from Linux to local and remote printers.
Background
Printing on Linux, at least according to other HowToS, has always been quite difficult and complex. As a somewhat skilled Linux administrator and user I found that printing could be quite easy if one uses CUPS.
Software
Linux RedHat (www.redhat.com)
CUPS (source) (www.cups.org)
Skill Level
X-Windows Beginner
Skills Required
- Basic understanding of Linux and X-Windows
