CUPS Setup for WolfCopy on Mac OS X 10.5 Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames. <br /> Visit <a href='Setting up Wolf Copy Printers using CUPS on Mac OS X 10.5 Introduction. OIT has moved to support the built-in Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) in MacOS X 10.5. CUPS replaces the older LPRNG system that was developed and maintained as a custom printing solution by OIT. As a part of this change every user will have to type in their Unity ID and password each time they print. The name and password information is secured by encrypting the link to the print server with ssl. CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) standard to effect printing and OIT has forced all connections to be encrypted.
Beyond the security, using CUPS has the advantage of being supported by Apple, requiring no special programming or installation of software and will not be affected by software updates. Because CUPS support multiple authentication types OIT will at some point in the future add support for even stronger forms of authentication (AuthNegotiate) as they become available. Setting up WolfCopy Printers. Print & Fax System Preferences.
In the Print & Fax panel do the following as illustrated in Figure 2:. Make sure the lock icon in the lower right side is indicating unlocked. If not click on it and enter an administrator user name to allow settings changes to be made. Click the + to add a printer. When the printer setup dialog appears click on IP to choose internet protocol based printing.
Select Internet Printing Protocol -IPP from the Protocol: pop-up menu. In the Address: field type print.ncsu.edu. In the Queue: field type printers/ and then the name of the WolfCopy printer you wish to use. To find out available printers look at / and note that there are several hundred. WolfCopy printers are usually named by their official university building abbreviation - room number - a sequence number. Example: for a single black and white printer in the building named Building with official abbreviation of BLD in room one (1) the name should be bld-001-1. If the printer were a color printer then the name should be bld-001-color1.
NOTE: names are always lower case. So the Queue: field will be printers/bld-001-color1. In the Name: field type the name of the WolfCopy printer Example: bld-001-color1. In the Location: field type some text describing the printers physical location. Example: Building Room One. From the Print Using: pop-up choose Select a driver to use.
Which will reveal a long list of printer models. Be sure to select the printer model that matches the Printer Driver: field for the printer desired at Now click the Add button. Some printer may require additional information after clicking add depending on how their model files, also called PPDs, are written. Make these settings as prompted. If the desired settings are not known then contact the owner of the printer or guess. The printer should now appear in the left column in the Print & Fax panel.
A final step remains to set a CUPS option on the printer to always prompt for the name and password in the print dialog. Apple does not provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to make this setting in Mac OS X 10.5.
NOTES: • Mac OS X cannot boot from a partition that's larger than 1 TB in size, so if you have a 2 TB hard drive, you will have to partition it. • Unlike the default Mac OS X Lion installer, the iAtkos version of the Lion installer works with by default. You can also partition the hard disk by using Disk Utility's Partition tab. Osx dvd hackintosh (leopard, snowleopard, lion, distro/retail.
To make this setting we have 2 options: a) use the terminal to send a lpadmin command or b) print one time and have the print queue on the Macintosh go to hold status. CUPS uses several configuration files stored in the a hidden folder /private/etc/cups. The CUPS setting for AuthInfoRequired is in the file printers.conf as AuthInfoRequired username,password for each printer.
To add the setting in do one of the following steps: a) Using Terminal to set the AuthInfoRequired option must be done by an administrator user on the Macintosh. Follow these steps:.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app. Type: sudo lpadmin -p -o auth-info-required=username,password where is replaced with the text typed into the Name: field when the printers was created with the dashes (-) replaced with underscores. Example: sudo lpadmin -p bld001color1 -o auth-info-required=username,password NOTE: the CUPS name of all printers on the machine can be discovered by typing lpstat -v and looking at the listing like this: device for bld001color1: ipp://print.ncsu.edu/printers/bld-001-color1 the CUPS name will be the text after the word 'for' and before the first colon(:). To print and save the AuthInforRequired setting simply click Resume in the tool bar as in number 2 of Figure 3.
A dialog asking for Name: and Password: fields will appear. Enter a Unity ID and password and click ok to print. When the print job has successfully finished the CUPS print subsystem will update the printers.conf configuration file to add the correct setting for auth-info-required=username,password. From this point on the queue should not hold again and each user on the machine will be prompted in the print dialog for a name and password. This process must be completed for each WolfCopy printer installed. For folks who administer several machines with ARD or are comfortable with using the terminal here are instructions on how to create and configure CUPS printers for WolfCopy using CUPS command line tools.
CUPS printers are created and configured using the lpadmin tool. Use the command man lpadmin to get details on all of the available options and switchs for the tool. The following command should create and configure a printer using the example of bld-001-color1.
S udo lpadmin -p bld-001-color1 -L 'bld-001-color1' -E -v ipp://print.ncsu.edu/printers/bld-001-color1 - o auth-info-required=username,password -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP Color LaserJet 8500.gz so looking at the command in detail: sudo lpadmin - executes the command lpadmin as administrative user -p bld-001-color1- sets the name for the new printer. NOTE this is a lower case p -L 'bld-001-color1' - sets the information for CUPS printer. NOTE the quotes -E- makes the printer enabled.
NOTE that there are two capital E's in the man page and the position in the command string separates enabled from encryption -v ipp://print.ncsu.edu/printers/bld-001-color1 -sets the univeral resource identifier (URI) that configures the printeserver (print.ncsu.edu) and print queue (printers/bld-001-color1) - o auth-info-required=username,password -sets the requirement for username and password -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP Color LaserJet 8500.gz - gives the PPD to use. NOTE the back slashes to escape the spaces in the names so the unix shells will pass them on correctly. Also most all PPDs under Mac OS X 10.5 are located at the path /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources. The switch is an upper case P.
Information on PPD names and where they are stored can be found using the lpinfo command. For many reasons a print job can get stalled itself or can stop or disable the local CUPS print queue. By default the settings for the cups daemon process, cupsd, is secured so that only administrators can start, stop, disable or endable print queues. Also only administrators or job owners can cancel print jobs. Since users may just ' Print and Run' leaving a stopped queue or hung job these settings can be opened up using the following unix commands. WARNING the following commands should be typed carefully and double checked each time they are sent as they can destroy the cupsd.conf file and disable printing completly if incorrectly typed!!! Spaces are extremely important in these commands!!!
Perl -p -i -e 's/ Resume-Printer//g;' /private/etc/cups/cupsd.conf perl -p -i -e 's/ Enable-Printer//g;' /private/etc/cups/cupsd.conf perl -p -i -e 's/ Cancel-Job//g;' /private/etc/cups/cupsd.conf launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.cups.cupsd.plist launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.cups.cupsd.plist What the perl commands do are to search the cupsd.conf files for the strings ' Resurme-Printer', ' Enable-Printer', and ' Cancel-Job' (note the space before each string!) and replace them with nothing and save the file. This will remove those activities from the restriction rules in cupsd.conf and make them open to everyone printing to use. The launchctl commands simply restart the cupsd printing system so the changes will take effect.
Again use with caution! What if I want to set up my own print server using CUPS? Since we use centralized print servers running on Linux machines we really do not have documentation on setting up CUPS print server software called cupsd. Look for cupsd documentation at. However we use the cupsd.conf file: in production with CUPS 1.3.3 servers in case this might help someone.

Brother Hl-2460 Driver For Mac Download
I'm new to Ubuntu having just migrated from windows XP. Following other threads I downloaded drivers for DCP-J140W but can only get it to work via USB cable. It works wirelessly with a Windows PC but not with my Ubuntu laptop. Coming from Windows I'm struggling with the Xterm command line stuff needed for installing downloaded stuff so helpful replies will need this detail please. So how far have you progressed?.

Did you download the.gz file using the link supplied in Post #1?. If so, were you able to extract it, and successfully execute the commands listed?. Using the Terminal is a super convenient method of getting things done quickly, invest the effort to learn how to use, you won't be sorry, and it's second nature after a few goes at it. Good luck, and you came to the right place by the way to learn ubuntu! Hi Guys, Thanks for that info.
I have now got it working. I think that at my previous attempt I didn't know the device URI so responded to the prompt with No and therefore got the USB type installation. Forgot to ask in last post but Can I delete the files downloaded to the.Downloads directory now that my installation is complete? I assume that all downloaded files with regard to program/driver installation are moved to appropriate directories associated with the application.
I did notice however that there are uninstall files in my.Download directory. It seems logical to me that the.Downloads directory should only ever be a temporary location used during download and installation. Last edited by howefield; October 26th, 2016 at 05:34 PM.

Not intending to be too picky, but there is no.Downloads directory as far as I know. Directory names that start with a. Are hidden directories. They can be viewed in 'Files' by hitting Ctrl-H, (see 'View' in Files Menu).
To remove unneeded files, you can use the 'autoremove' command. Two lines of useful Terminal code.
One of the essential functionalities of apt-get (which was initially specific to aptitude) is the tracking of packages installed only through dependencies. These packages are called “automatic”, and often include libraries for instance. With this information, when packages are removed, the package managers can compute a list of automatic packages that are no longer needed (because there's no “manually installed” packages depending on them). Apt-get autoremove will get rid of those packages. Aptitude does not have this command because it removes them automatically as soon as they are identified. Both programs include a clear message listing the affected packages. Last edited by vasa1; October 16th, 2014 at 01:50 PM.
Thanks vasa1 for the excellent explanation. I'll make a note of that command for future reference. On the subject of reference works, being new to Ubuntu I downloaded the Getting Started user guide but this is too high a level which would be good for something like Windows but not for a Linux system which appears to require more terminal command line knowledge. Is there a book that any of you guys would recommend? I have a Unix book but it is very difficult to use as you need to know what you are looking for. Something more functional area based would be better e.g.
Display, printer, serial comms, directory management etc; with lists of common tasks and commonly used command sequences.
