<P>This software administrators manual provides printer administration
information for the Common UNIX Printing System<SUP>TM</SUP> (&quot;CUPS<SUP>
TM</SUP>&quot;), version 1.2.0.</P>
<H2><A NAME="1_1">System Overview</A></H2>
<P>CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX&reg;-based operating
systems. It has been developed by<A HREF="http://www.easysw.com"> Easy
Software Products</A> to promote a standard printing solution for all
UNIX vendors and users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley
command-line interfaces.</P>
<P>CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol (&quot;IPP&quot;) as the basis for
managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon (&quot;LPD&quot;) Server
Message Block (&quot;SMB&quot;), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect) protocols are
also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network printer
browsing and PostScript Printer Description (&quot;PPD&quot;) based printing
options to support real-world printing under UNIX.</P>
<P>CUPS also includes a customized version of GNU Ghostscript (currently
based off GNU Ghostscript 5.50) and an image file RIP that are used to
support non-PostScript printers. Sample drivers for HP and EPSON
printers are included that use these filters.</P>

<H1 ALIGN="RIGHT"><A NAME="OVERVIEW">1 - Printing System Overview</A></H1>
<P>This chapter provides an overview of how the Common UNIX Printing
System works.</P>
<H2><A NAME="2_1">The Printing Problem</A></H2>
<P>For years<I> the printing problem</I> has plagued UNIX. Unlike
Microsoft&reg; Windows&reg; or Mac OS, UNIX has no standard interface or system
in place for supporting printers. Among the solutions currently
available, the Berkeley and System V printing systems are the most
prevalent.</P>
<P>These printing systems support line printers (text only) or
PostScript printers (text and graphics), and with some coaxing they can
be made to support a full range of printers and file formats. However,
because each varient of the UNIX operating system uses a different
printing system than the next developing printer drivers for a wide
range of printers and operating systems is extremely difficult. That
combined with the limited volume of customers for each UNIX varient has
forced most printer vendors to give up supporting UNIX entirely.</P>
<P>CUPS is designed to eliminate<I> the printing problem</I>. One common
printing system can be used by all UNIX varients to support the
printing needs of users. Printer vendors can use its modular filter
interface to develop a single driver program that supports a wide range
of file formats with little or no effort. Since CUPS provides both the
System V and Berkeley printing commands, users (and applications) can
reap the benefits of this new technology with no changes.</P>
<H2><A NAME="2_2">The Technology</A></H2>
<P>CUPS is based upon an emerging Internet standard called the Internet
Printing Protocol. IPP has been embraced by dozens of printer and
printer server manufacturers and is supported by Microsoft Windows
2000.</P>
<P>IPP defines a standard protocol for printing as well as managing
print jobs and printer options like media size, resolution, and so
forth. Like all IP-based protocols, IPP can be used locally or over the
Internet to printers hundreds or thousands of miles away. Unlike other
protocols, however, IPP also supports access control, authentication,
and encryption, making it a much more capable and secure printing
solution than older ones.</P>
<P>IPP is layered on top of the Hyper-Text Transport Protocol (&quot;HTTP&quot;)
which is the basis of web servers on the Internet. This allows users to
view documentation, check status information on a printer or server,
and manage their printers, classes, and jobs using their web browser.</P>
<P>CUPS provides a complete IPP/1.1 based printing system that provides
Basic, Digest, and local certificate authentication and user, domain,
or IP-based access control. TLS encryption will be available in future
versions of CUPS.</P>
<H2><A NAME="2_3">Jobs</A></H2>
<P>Each file or set of files that is submitted for printing is called a<I>
job</I>. Jobs are identified by a unique number starting at 1 and are
assigned to a particular destination, usually a printer. Jobs can also
have options associated with them such as media size, number of copies,
and priority.</P>
<H2><A NAME="2_4">Classes</A></H2>
<P>CUPS supports collections of printers known as<I> classes</I>. Jobs
sent to a class are forwarded to the first available printer in the
class.</P>
<H2><A NAME="2_5">Filters</A></H2>
<P>Filters allow a user or application to print many types of files
without extra effort. Print jobs sent to a CUPS server are filtered
before sending them to a printer. Some filters convert job files to
different formats that the printer can understand. Others perform page
selection and ordering tasks.</P>
<P>CUPS provides filters for printing many types of image files, HP-GL/2
files, PDF files, and text files. CUPS also supplies PostScript and
image file Raster Image Processor (&quot;RIP&quot;) filters that convert
PostScript or image files into bitmaps that can be sent to a raster
printer.</P>
<H2><A NAME="2_6">Backends</A></H2>
<P>Backends perform the most important task of all - they send the
filtered print data to the printer.</P>
<P>CUPS provides backends for printing over parallel, serial, and USB
ports, and over the network via the IPP, JetDirect (AppSocket), and
Line Printer Daemon (&quot;LPD&quot;) protocols. Additional backends are
available in network service packages such as the SMB backend included
with the popular SAMBA software.</P>
<P>Backends are also used to determine the available devices. On startup
each backend is asked for a list of devices it supports, and any
information that is available. This allows the parallel backend to tell
CUPS that an EPSON Stylus Color 600 printer is attached to parallel
port 1, for example.</P>
<H2><A NAME="2_7">Printer Drivers</A></H2>
<P>Printer drivers in CUPS consist of one of more filters specific to a
printer. CUPS includes sample printer drivers for Hewlett-Packard
LaserJet and DeskJet printers and EPSON 9-pin, 24-pin, Stylus Color,
and Stylus Photo printers. While these drivers do not generate optimal
output for the different printer models, they do provide basic printing
and demonstrate how you can write your own printer drivers and
incorporate them into CUPS.</P>
<H2><A NAME="2_8">Networking</A></H2>
<P>Printers and classes on the local system are automatically shared
with other systems on the network. This allows you to setup one system
to print to a printer and use this system as a printer server or spool
host for all of the others. Users may then select a local printer by
name or a remote printer using &quot;name@server&quot;.</P>
<P>CUPS also provides<I> implicit classes</I>, which are collections of
printers and/or classes with the same name. This allows you to setup
multiple servers pointing to the same physical network printer, for
example, so that you aren't relying on a single system for printing.
Because this also works with printer classes, you can setup multiple
servers and printers and never worry about a single point of failure
unless all of the printers and servers go down!</P>
<H1 ALIGN="RIGHT"><A NAME="BUILDING_INSTALLING">2 - Building and
Installing CUPS</A></H1>
<P>This chapter shows how to build and install the Common UNIX Printing
System. If you are installing a binary distribution from the CUPS web
site, proceed to the section titled,<A HREF="#BINARY"> Installing a
Binary Distribution</A>.</P>
<H2><A NAME="3_1">Installing a Source Distribution</A></H2>
<P>This section describes how to compile and install CUPS on your system
from the source code.</P>
<H3><A NAME="REQUIREMENTS">Requirements</A></H3>
<P>You'll need ANSI-compliant C and C++ compilers to build CUPS on your
system. As its name implies, CUPS is designed to run on the UNIX
operating system, however the CUPS interface library and most of the
filters and backends supplied with CUPS should also compile and run
under Microsoft Windows.</P>
<P>For the image file filters and PostScript RIP, you'll need the JPEG,
PNG, TIFF, and ZLIB libraries. CUPS will build without these, but with
significantly reduced functionality. Easy Software Products maintains a
mirror of the current versions of these libraries at:</P>

<P>If you make changes to the man pages you'll need GNU groff or another
nroff-like package. GNU groff is available from:</P>

</UL>
<P>Finally, you'll need a <CODE>make</CODE> program that understands the
<CODE>include</CODE> directive - FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD
developers should use the <CODE>gmake</CODE> program.</P>
<H3><A NAME="COMPILING">Compiling CUPS</A></H3>
<P>CUPS uses GNU autoconf to configure the makefiles and source code for
your system. Type the following command to configure CUPS for your
system:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>./configure ENTER</B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>The default installation will put the CUPS software in the<VAR> /etc</VAR>
,<VAR> /usr</VAR>, and<VAR> /var</VAR> directories on your system, which
will overwrite any existing printing commands on your system. Use the <CODE>
--prefix</CODE> option to install the CUPS software in another location:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>./configure --prefix=/some/directory ENTER</B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>If the PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and ZLIB libraries are not installed in a
system default location (typically<VAR> /usr/include</VAR> and<VAR>
/usr/lib</VAR>) you'll need to set the <CODE>CFLAGS</CODE>, <CODE>
CXXFLAGS</CODE>, and <CODE>LDFLAGS</CODE> environment variables prior to
running configure:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>setenv CFLAGS &quot;-I/some/directory&quot; ENTER</B>
<B>setenv CXXFLAGS &quot;-I/some/directory&quot; ENTER</B>
<B>setenv LDFLAGS &quot;-L/some/directory&quot; ENTER</B>
<B>setenv DSOFLAGS &quot;-L/some/directory&quot; ENTER</B>

<B>DSOFLAGS=&quot;-L/some/directory&quot;; export DSOFLAGS ENTER</B>
<B>./configure ... ENTER</B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>To enable support for encryption, you'll also want to add the
&quot;--enable-ssl&quot; option:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
./configure --enable-ssl

<H1 ALIGN="RIGHT"><A NAME="MANAGING_PRINTERS">3 - Managing Printers</A></H1>
<P>This chapter describes how to add your first printer and how to
manage your printers.</P>
<H2><A NAME="4_1">The Basics</A></H2>
<P>Each printer queue has a name associated with it; the printer name
must start with a letter and can contain up to 127 letters, numbers,
and the underscore (_). Case is not significant, e.g. &quot;PRINTER&quot;,
&quot;Printer&quot;, and &quot;printer&quot; are considered to be the same name.</P>
<P>Printer queues also have a device associated with them. The device
can be a parallel port, a network interface, and so forth. Devices
within CUPS use Uniform Resource Identifiers (&quot;URIs&quot;) which are a more
general form of Uniform Resource Locators (&quot;URLs&quot;) that are used in
your web browser. For example, the first parallel port in Linux usually
uses a device URI of <CODE>parallel:/dev/lp1</CODE>.
<!-- NEED 2.5in -->
</P>
<P>You can see a complete list of supported devices by running the <CODE>
lpinfo(8)</CODE> command:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>lpinfo -v ENTER</B>
network socket
network http
network ipp
network lpd
direct parallel:/dev/lp1
serial serial:/dev/ttyS1?baud=115200
serial serial:/dev/ttyS2?baud=115200
direct usb:/dev/usb/lp0
network smb
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>The <CODE>-v</CODE> option specifies that you want a list of
available devices. The first word in each line is the type of device
(direct, file, network, or serial) and is followed by the device URI or
method name for that device. File devices have device URIs of the form <CODE>
file:/directory/filename</CODE> while network devices use the more
familiar <CODE>method://server</CODE> or <CODE>method://server/path</CODE>
format.</P>
<P>Finally, printer queues usually have a PostScript Printer Description
(&quot;PPD&quot;) file associated with them. PPD files describe the capabilities
of each printer, the page sizes supported, etc., and are used for
PostScript and non-PostScript printers. CUPS includes PPD files for HP
LaserJet, HP DeskJet, EPSON 9-pin, EPSON 24-pin, and EPSON Stylus
printers.</P>
<H2><A NAME="4_2">Adding Your First Printer</A></H2>
<P>CUPS provides two methods for adding printers: a command-line program
called <CODE>lpadmin(8)</CODE> and a Web interface. The <CODE>lpadmin</CODE>
command allows you to perform most printer administration tasks from
the command-line and is located in<VAR> /usr/sbin</VAR>. The Web
interface is located at:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<A HREF="http://localhost:631/admin">http://localhost:631/admin</A>

</UL>
<P>and steps you through printer configuration. If you don't like
command-line interfaces, try the<A HREF="#ADD_WEB"> Web interface</A>
instead.</P>
<H3><A NAME="4_2_1">Adding Your First Printer from the Command-Line</A></H3>
<P>Run the <CODE>lpadmin</CODE> command with the <CODE>-p</CODE> option
to add a printer to CUPS:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p <I>printer</I> -E -v <I>device</I> -m <I>ppd</I> ENTER</B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>For a HP DeskJet printer connected to the parallel port this would
look like:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p DeskJet -E -v parallel:/dev/lp1 -m deskjet.ppd ENTER</B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>Similarly, a HP LaserJet printer using a JetDirect network interface
at IP address 11.22.33.44 would be added with the command:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LaserJet -E -v socket://11.22.33.44 -m laserjet.ppd ENTER</B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>As you can see, <CODE>deskjet.ppd</CODE> and <CODE>laserjet.ppd</CODE>
are the PPD files for the HP DeskJet and HP LaserJet drivers included
with CUPS. You'll find a complete list of PPD files and the printers
they will work with in<A HREF="#PRINTER_DRIVERS"> Appendix C, &quot;Printer
Drivers&quot;</A>.</P>
<P>For a dot matrix printer connected to the serial port this would
might look like:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p DotMatrix -E -v serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=9600+size=8+parity=none+flow=soft deskjet.ppd ENTER</B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>Here you specify the serial port (e.g. S0,S1, d0, d1), baud rate
(e.g. 9600, 19200, 38400, 115200, etc.), number of bits, parity, and
flow control. If you do not need flow control, delete the &quot;+flow=soft&quot;

<DT>-i<I> interface</I></DT>
<DD>Copies the named<VAR> interface</VAR> script to the printer.
Interface scripts are used by System V printer drivers. Since all
filtering is disabled when using an interface script, scripts generally
should not be used unless there is no other driver for a printer.</DD>
<DT>-m<I> model</I></DT>
<DD>Specifies a standard printer driver which is usually a PPD file. A
list of all available models can be displayed using the <CODE>lpinfo</CODE>

included with CUPS can be found in<A HREF="#PRINTER_DRIVERS"> Appendix
C, &quot;Printer Drivers&quot;</A>.</DD>
<DT>-r<I> class</I></DT>
<DD>Removes the named printer from printer class<VAR> class</VAR>. If
the resulting class becomes empty then it is removed.</DD>
<DT>-v<I> device-uri</I></DT>
<DD>Sets the device for communicating with the printer. If a job is
currently printing on the named printer then the job will be restarted

<UL>
<PRE>
<B>/usr/bin/enable <I>printer</I> ENTER</B>
<B>/usr/bin/disable <I>printer</I> ENTER</B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>Printers that are disabled may still accept jobs for printing, but
won't actually print any files until they are restarted. This is useful
if the printer malfunctions and you need time to correct the problem.
Any queued jobs are printed after the printer is enabled (started).</P>
<H3><A NAME="4_3_5">Accepting and Rejecting Print Jobs</A></H3>
<P>The <CODE>accept</CODE> and <CODE>reject</CODE> commands accept and
reject print jobs for the named printer, respectively:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>/usr/sbin/accept <I>printer</I> ENTER</B>
<B>/usr/sbin/reject <I>printer</I> ENTER</B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>As noted above, a printer can be stopped but accepting new print
jobs. A printer can also be rejecting new print jobs while it finishes
those that have been queued. This is useful for when you must perform
maintenance on the printer and will not have it available to users for
a long period of time.</P>
<H3><A NAME="4_3_6">Setting Quotas on a Printer</A></H3>
<P>CUPS supports page and size-based quotas for each printer. The quotas
are tracked individually for each user, but a single set of limits
applies to all users for a partiuclar printer. For example, you can
limit every user to 5 pages per day on an expensive printer, but you
cannot limit every user except Johnny.</P>
<P>The<I> job-k-limit</I>,<I> job-page-limit</I>, and<I> job-quota-peiod</I>
options determine whether and how quotas are enforced for a printer.
The<I> job-quota-period</I> option determines the time interval for
quota tracking. The interval is expressed in seconds, so a day is
86,400, a week is 604,800 and a month is 2,592,000 seconds. The<I>
job-k-limit</I> option specifies the job size limit in killobytes. The<I>
job-page-limit</I> option specifies the number of pages limit.</P>
<P>For quotas to be enforced, the period and at least one of the limits
must be set to a non-zero value. The following options will enable
quotas:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p <I>printer</I> -o job-quota-period=604800 -o job-k-limit=1024 <I>ENTER</I></B>
<B>/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p <I>printer</I> -o job-quota-period=604800 -o job-page-limit=100 <I>ENTER</I></B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>Or, you can combine all three options on the same line.</P>
<H3><A NAME="4_3_7">Restricting User Access to a Printer</A></H3>
<P>The <CODE>-u</CODE> option of the <CODE>lpadmin</CODE> command
controls which users can print to a printer. The default configuration
allows all users to print to a printer:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p <I>printer</I> -u allow:all <I>ENTER</I></B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>CUPS supports allow and deny lists so that you can specify a list of
users who are allowed to print or not allowed to print. Along with your
list of users, you can specify whether they are allowed or not allowed
to use the printer:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p <I>printer</I> -u allow:peter,paul,mary <I>ENTER</I></B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>This command allows peter, paul, and mary to print to the named

<UL>
<PRE>
<B>/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p <I>printer</I> -u deny:peter,paul,mary <I>ENTER</I></B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>has the opposite effect. All users except peter, paul, and mary will

<P>This chapter describes what printer classes are and how to manage
them.</P>
<H2><A NAME="5_1">The Basics</A></H2>
<P>CUPS provides collections of printers called<I> printer classes</I>.
Jobs sent to a class are forwarded to the first available printer in
the class. Classes can themselves be members of other classes, so it is
possible for you to define very large, distributed printer classes for
high-availability printing.</P>
<P>CUPS also supports<I> implicit classes</I>. Implicit classes work
just like printer classes, but they are created automatically based
upon the available printers and classes on the network. This allows you
to setup multiple print servers with identical printer configurations
and have the client machines send their print jobs to the first
available server. If one or more servers go down, the jobs are
automatically redirected to the servers that are running, providing
fail-safe printing.</P>
<H2><A NAME="5_2">Managing Printer Classes from the Command-Line</A></H2>

<P>This chapter discusses several ways to configure CUPS clients for
printing.</P>
<H2><A NAME="6_1">The Basics</A></H2>
<P>A client is any machine that sends print jobs to another machine for
final printing. Clients can also be servers if they communicate
directly with any printers of their own.</P>
<P>CUPS supports several methods of configuring client machines:</P>

<LI><A HREF="#CLIENT_RELAY">Relaying printers to other clients.</A></LI>
</UL>
<H3><A NAME="CLIENT_MANUAL">Manual Configuration of Print Queues</A></H3>
<P>The most tedious method of configuring client machines is to
configure each remote queue by hand using the <CODE>lpadmin</CODE>
command:</P>

address of the server machine. Repeat the <CODE>lpadmin</CODE> command
for each remote printer you wish to use.</P>

<TABLE BGCOLOR="#cccccc" BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="5" WIDTH="80%">
<TR><TD><B> NOTE:</B>

<H3><A NAME="CLIENT_AUTO">Automatic Configuration of Print Queues</A></H3>
<P>CUPS supports automatic client configuration of printers on the same
subnet. To configure printers on the same subnet,<I> do nothing</I>.
Each client should see the available printers within 30 seconds
automatically. The printer and class lists are updated automatically as
printers and servers are added or removed.</P>
<P>If you want to see printers on other subnets as well, use the<A HREF="#BrowsePoll">
<CODE>BrowsePoll</CODE></A> directive as described next.</P>
<CENTER>
<TABLE BGCOLOR="#cccccc" BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="5" WIDTH="80%">
<TR><TD><B> NOTE:</B>
<P>The<A HREF="#BrowseAddress"> <CODE>BrowseAddress</CODE></A> directive
enables broadcast traffic from your server. The default configuration
braodcasts printer information every 30 seconds. Although this printer
information does not use much bandwidth, typically about 80 bytes per
printer, it can add up with large numbers of servers and printers.</P>
<P>Use the<A HREF="#BrowseInterval"> <CODE>BrowseInterval</CODE></A> and<A
HREF="#BrowseTimeout"> <CODE>BrowseTimeout</CODE></A> directives to tune
the amount of data that is added to your network load. In addition,
subnets can be used to minimize the amount of traffic that is carried
by the &quot;backbone&quot; of your large network.</P>

<H3><A NAME="CLIENT_POLL">Specifying Multiple Servers for Printing</A></H3>
<P>If you have CUPS servers on different subnets, then you should
configure CUPS to poll those servers. Polling provides the benefits of
automatic configuration without significant configuration on the
clients, and multiple clients on the same subnet can share the same
configuration information.</P>
<P>Polling is enabled by specifying one or more<A HREF="#BrowsePoll"> <CODE>
BrowsePoll</CODE></A> directives in the<VAR> /etc/cups/cupsd.conf</VAR>
file. For information on making these changes, see<A HREF="#PRINTING_MANAGEMENT">
Chapter 6, &quot;Printing System Management&quot;</A>.</P>
<P>Multiple<A HREF="#BrowsePoll"> <CODE>BrowsePoll</CODE></A> lines can
be used to poll multiple CUPS servers. To limit the amount of polling
you do from client machines, you can have only one of the clients do
the polling and relay that information to the others on the same subnet
(described next).</P>
<H3><A NAME="CLIENT_RELAY">Relaying Printers to Other Clients</A></H3>
<P>When you have clients and servers spread across multiple subnets, the
polling method is inefficient. CUPS provides a<A HREF="#BrowseRelay"> <CODE>
BrowseRelay</CODE></A> directive that enables a single client to relay
(broadcast) the polled printer information to the local subnet.</P>
<P>For example, Server A and Server B are on subnet 1 and subnet 2,
while the clients are on subnet 3. To provide printers to all of the
clients in subnet 3, client C will be configured with the following
directives in<VAR> /etc/cups/cupsd.conf</VAR>:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
# Poll the two servers
<B>
BrowsePoll ServerA ENTER
BrowsePoll ServerB ENTER
</B>
# Relay the printers to the local subnet
<B>
BrowseRelay 127.0.0.1 192.168.3.255 ENTER
</B></PRE>
</UL>
<P>The<A HREF="#BrowseRelay"> <CODE>BrowseRelay</CODE></A> line
specifies a source address and mask. Any browse packets coming from a
matching address wil be sent to the given broadcast address. In this
case, we want the packets from the local machine (127.0.0.1) relayed to
the other clients.</P>
<P>As printers are found using polling, they are relayed from client C
to the rest of the clients through a broadcast on subnet 3. The rest of
the clients can use the standard<VAR> cupsd.conf</VAR> configuration.</P>
<P>The<A HREF="#BrowseRelay"> <CODE>BrowseRelay</CODE></A> directive can
also be used to relay browsing packets from one network interface to
another. For example, if client C in the previous example had network
interfaces attaches to both subnet 1 and subnet 2, it could use the<A HREF="#BrowseRelay">
<CODE>BrowseRelay</CODE></A> directive exclusively:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
# Relay the printers from subnet 1 and 2 to subnet 3
<B>
BrowseRelay 192.168.1 192.168.3.255 ENTER

<H2><A NAME="6_2">Load Balancing and Failsafe Operation</A></H2>
<P>When using server polling or broadcasting, CUPS clients can
automatically merge identical printers on multiple servers into a
single<I> implicit class</I> queue. Clients assume that printers with
the same name on multiple servers are in fact the same printer or type
of printer being served by multiple machines.</P>
<P>If you have two printers, LaserJet@ServerA and LaserJet@ServerB, a
third implicit class called<I> LaserJet</I> will be created
automatically on the client that refers to both printers. If the client
also has a local printer with the name LaserJet then an implicit class
named<I> AnyLaserJet</I> will be created instead.</P>
<P>The client will alternate between servers and automatically stop
sending jobs to a server if it goes down, providing a load-balancing
effect and fail-safe operation with automatic switchover.</P>

can be used in place of <CODE>Basic</CODE> or <CODE>Digest</CODE>
authentication by clients connecting through the <CODE>localhost</CODE>
interface. Certificate authentication is not supported or allowed from
clients on any other interface.</P>
<P>Certificates are 128-bit random numbers that refer to an internal
authentication record in the server. A client connecting via the <CODE>
localhost</CODE> interface sends a request with an authorization header
of:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
Authorization: Local 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>The server then looks up the local certificate and authenticates
using the username associated with it.</P>
<P>Certificates are generated by the server automatically and stored in
the<VAR> /etc/cups/certs</VAR> directory using the process ID of the
CGI program started by the server. Certificate files are only readable
by the<A HREF="#User"> <CODE>User</CODE></A> and<A HREF="#Group"> <CODE>
Group</CODE></A> defined in the<VAR> cupsd.conf</VAR> file. When the CGI
program ends the certificate is removed and invalidated automatically.</P>
<P>The special file<VAR> /etc/cups/certs/0</VAR> defines the<I> root
certificate</I> which can be used by any client running as the
super-user or another user that is part of the group defined by the<A HREF="#SystemGroup">
<CODE>SystemGroup</CODE></A> directive. The root certificate is
automatically regenerated every 5 minutes.</P>
<H3><A NAME="7_5_2">Using Basic Authentication</A></H3>
<P>Basic authentication uses UNIX users and passwords to authenticate
access to resources such as printers and classes, and to limit access
to administrative functions.</P>
<CENTER>
<TABLE BGCOLOR="#cccccc" BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="5" WIDTH="80%">
<TR><TD><B> NOTE:</B>
<P>Basic authentication sends the username and password Base64 encoded
from the client to the server, so it offers no protection against
eavesdropping. This means that a malicious user can monitor network
packets and discover valid users and passwords that could result in a
serious compromise in network security. Use Basic authentication with
extreme care.</P>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</CENTER>
<P>The CUPS implementation of Basic authentication does not allow access
through user accounts without a password. If you try to authenticate
using an account without a password, your access will be immediately
blocked.</P>
<P>Once a valid username and password is authenticated by CUPS, any
additional group membership requirements are checked.</P>

<H3><A NAME="7_5_3">Using Digest Authentication</A></H3>
<P>Digest authentication uses users and passwords defined in the<VAR>
/etc/cups/passwd.md5</VAR> file to authenticate access to resources
such as printers and classes, and to limit access to administrative
functions.</P>
<CENTER>
<TABLE BGCOLOR="#cccccc" BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="5" WIDTH="80%">
<TR><TD><B> NOTE:</B>
<P>Unlike Basic authentication, Digest passes the MD5 sum (basically a
complicated checksum) of the username and password instead of the
strings themselves. Also, Digest authentication does not use the UNIX
password file, so if an attacker does discover the original password it
is less likely to result in a serious security problem so long as you
use a different UNIX password than the corresponding Digest password.</P>
<P>The current CUPS implementation of Digest authentication uses the
client's hostname or IP address for the &quot;nonce&quot; value. The nonce value
is an additional string added to the username and password to make
guessing the password more difficult. The server checks that the nonce
value matches the client's hostname or address and rejects the MD5 sum
if it doesn't. Future versions of CUPS will support Digest &quot;session&quot;
authentication which adds the request data to the MD5 sum, providing
even better authentication and security.</P>
<P>Digest authentication does not guarantee that an attacker cannot gain
unauthorized access, but it is safer than Basic authentication and
should be used in place of Basic authentication whenever possible.<B>
Support for Digest authentication in web browsers is not yet
universally available.</B></P>

<H2><A NAME="FILE_TYPING_FILTERING">File Typing and Filtering</A></H2>
<P>CUPS provides a MIME-based file typing and filtering mechanism to
convert files to a printable format for each printer. On startup the
CUPS server reads MIME database files from the<VAR> /etc/cups</VAR>
directory (or a directory specified by the<A HREF="#ServerRoot"> <CODE>
ServerRoot</CODE></A> directive) to build a file type and conversion
database in memory. These database files are plain ASCII text and can
be edited with your favorite text editor.</P>
<P>The<VAR> mime.types</VAR> and<VAR> mime.convs</VAR> files define the
standard file types and filters that are available on the system.</P>
<H3><A NAME="7_7_1">mime.types</A></H3>
<P>The<VAR> mime.types</VAR> file defines the known file types. Each
line of the file starts with the MIME type and may be followed by one
or more file type recognition rules. For example, the <CODE>text/html</CODE>
file type is defined as:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
text/html html htm \
printable(0,1024) + \
(string(0,&quot;&lt;HTML&gt;&quot;) string(0,&quot;&lt;!DOCTYPE&quot;))
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>The first two rules say that any file with an extension of<VAR> .html</VAR>
or<VAR> .htm</VAR> is a HTML file. The third rule says that any file
whose first 1024 characters are printable text and starts with the
strings <CODE>&lt;HTML&gt;</CODE> or <CODE>&lt;!DOCTYPE</CODE> is a HTML file as
well.</P>
<P>The first two rules deal solely with the name of the file being
typed. This is useful when the original filename is known, however for
print files the server doesn't have a filename to work with. The third
rule takes care of this possibility and automatically figures out the
file type based upon the contents of the file instead.</P>
<P>The available tests are:</P>
<UL>
<LI><CODE>( expr )</CODE> - Parenthesis for expression grouping</LI>
<LI><CODE>+</CODE> - Logical AND</LI>
<LI><CODE>,</CODE> or whitespace - Logical OR</LI>
<LI><CODE>!</CODE> - Logical NOT</LI>
<LI><CODE>match(&quot;pattern&quot;)</CODE> - Pattern match on filename</LI>
<LI><CODE>extension</CODE> - Pattern match on &quot;*.extension&quot;</LI>
<LI><CODE>ascii(offset,length)</CODE> - True if bytes are valid
printable ASCII (CR, NL, TAB, BS, 32-126)</LI>
<LI><CODE>printable(offset,length)</CODE> - True if bytes are printable
8-bit chars (CR, NL, TAB, BS, 32-126, 160-254)</LI>
<LI><CODE>string(offset,&quot;string&quot;)</CODE> - True if bytes are identical

<P>As shown in the <CODE>text/html</CODE> example, rules can continue on
multiple lines using the backslash (\) character. A more complex
example is the <CODE>image/jpeg</CODE> rules:</P>

char(3,0xec) char(3,0xed) char(3,0xee) char(3,0xef))
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>This rule states that any file with an extension of<VAR> .jpeg</VAR>,<VAR>
.jpg</VAR>, or<VAR> .jpe</VAR> is a JPEG file. In addition, any file
starting with the hexadecimal string <CODE>&lt;FFD8FF&gt;</CODE> (JPEG

&quot;*/postscript&quot;).</P>
<P>The<I> destination</I> field is a MIME type defined in the<VAR>
mime.types</VAR> file.</P>
<P>The<I> cost</I> field defines a relative cost for the filtering
operation from 1 to 100. The cost is used to choose between two
different sets of filters when converting a file. For example, to
convert from <CODE>image/jpeg</CODE> to <CODE>
application/vnd.cups-raster</CODE>, you could use the <CODE>imagetops</CODE>
and <CODE>pstoraster</CODE> filters for a total cost of 100, or the <CODE>
imagetoraster</CODE> filter for a total cost of 50.</P>
<P>The<I> program</I> field defines the filter program to run; the
special program &quot;-&quot; can be used to make two file types equivalent. The
program must accept the standard filter arguments and environment
variables described in the CUPS Interface Design Description and CUPS
Software Programmers Manual:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
program job user title options [filename]
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>If specified, the<I> filename</I> argument defines a file to read

<H3><A NAME="7_7_3">Adding Filetypes and Filters</A></H3>
<P>Adding a new file type or filter is fairly straight-forward. Rather
than adding the new type and filter to the<VAR> mime.types</VAR> and<VAR>
mime.convs</VAR> files which are overwritten when you upgrade to a new
version of CUPS, you simple need to create new files with<VAR> .types</VAR>
and<VAR> .convs</VAR> extensions in the<VAR> /etc/cups</VAR> directory.
We recommend that you use the product or format name, e.g.:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>

<P>If you are providing a filter for a common file format or printer,
add the company or author name:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
acme-msword.types
acme.msword.convs
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>This will help to prevent name collisions if you install many
different file types and filters.</P>
<P>Once you choose the names for these files, create them using your
favorite text editor as described earlier in this chapter. Once you
have created the files, restart the <CODE>cupsd</CODE> process as

<P>This chapter describes how to print from client systems that use the
LPD, Mac OS, or Windows printing protocols.</P>
<H2><A NAME="8_1">The Basics</A></H2>
<P>CUPS is based on the IPP protocol, so any system that supports IPP
can send jobs to and receive jobs from CUPS automatically. However, not
all systems support IPP yet. This chapter will show you how to connect
these systems to your CUPS server, either to accept jobs from your
server for printing, or to send jobs to your server.</P>
<H2><A NAME="8_2">Printing from LPD Clients</A></H2>
<P>CUPS supports limited functionality for LPD-based clients. With LPD
you can print files to specific printers, list the queue status, and so
forth. However, the automatic client configuration and printer options
are not supported by the LPD protocol, so you must manually configure
each client for the printers it needs to access.</P>
<P>The <CODE>cups-lpd(8)</CODE> program provides support for LPD clients
and can be used from either the <CODE>inetd(8)</CODE> or <CODE>
xinetd(8)</CODE> programs. Add the following line to the<VAR>
/etc/inetd.conf</VAR> file to enable LPD support on your server through
the <CODE>inetd</CODE> program:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>The path to the <CODE>cups-lpd</CODE> may vary depending on your
installation.</P>
<P>Once you have added this line, send the <CODE>inetd</CODE> process a <CODE>
HUP</CODE> signal or reboot the system:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>killall -HUP inetd ENTER</B> [IRIX and some versions of Linux]
<B>kill -HUP <I>pid</I> ENTER [Others]</B>
<B>reboot ENTER [For all systems if the HUP signal fails]</B>
</PRE>

Library General Public License (&quot;LGPL&quot;), Version 2, with exceptions for
Apple operating systems and the OpenSSL toolkit. A copy of the
exceptions and licenses follow this introduction.</P>
<P>The GNU LGPL applies to the CUPS API library, located in the &quot;cups&quot;
subdirectory of the CUPS source distribution and in the &quot;cups&quot; include
directory and library files in the binary distributions. The GNU GPL
applies to the remainder of the CUPS distribution, including the
&quot;pdftops&quot; filter which is based upon Xpdf and the CUPS imaging library.</P>
<P>For those not familiar with the GNU GPL, the license basically allows
you to:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Use the CUPS software at no charge.</LI>
<LI>Distribute verbatim copies of the software in source or binary form.</LI>
<LI>Sell verbatim copies of the software for a media fee, or sell
support for the software.</LI>
<LI>Distribute or sell printer drivers and filters that use CUPS so long
as source code is made available under the GPL.</LI>
</UL>
<P>What this license<B> does not</B> allow you to do is make changes or
add features to CUPS and then sell a binary distribution without source
code. You must provide source for any new drivers, changes, or
additions to the software, and all code must be provided under the GPL
or LGPL as appropriate. The only exceptions to this are the portions of
the CUPS software covered by the Apple operating system license
exceptions outlined later in this license agreement.</P>
<P>The GNU LGPL relaxes the &quot;link-to&quot; restriction, allowing you to
develop applications that use the CUPS API library under other licenses
and/or conditions as appropriate for your application.</P>
<H3><A NAME="9_1_2">License Exceptions</A></H3>

<P>Version 2, June 1991</P>
<PRE>
Copyright 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim
copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
</PRE>
<H4>Preamble</H4>
<P>The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom
to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.</P>
<P>When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in
new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.</P>
<P>To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.</P>
<P>For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.</P>
<P>We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software,
and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to
copy, distribute and/or modify the software.</P>
<P>Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.</P>
<P>Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.</P>
<P>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.</P>
<H4>GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
<BR> TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</H4>
<OL START="0">
<LI>This License applies to any program or other work which contains a
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The &quot;Program&quot;, below,
refers to any such program or work, and a &quot;work based on the Program&quot;
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term &quot;modification&quot;.) Each licensee is addressed as &quot;you&quot;.
<P>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is
covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that
is true depends on what the Program does.</P>
<LI>You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice
and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to
this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the
Program.
<P>You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.</P>
<LI>You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute
such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:
<OL TYPE="a">
<LI>You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
that you changed the files and the date of any change.</LI>
<LI>You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
under the terms of this License.</LI>
<LI>if the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including
an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty
(or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user
how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself
is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your
work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)</LI>
</OL>
<P>These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it.</P>
<P>Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.</P>
<P>In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a
volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other
work under the scope of this License.</P>
<LI>You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
<OL TYPE="a">
<LI>Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,</LI>
<LI>Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years,
to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of
physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable
copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
software interchange; or,</LI>
<LI>Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only
for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
Subsection b above.)</LI>
</OL>
<P>The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that
is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the
major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system
on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable.</P>
<P>If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access
to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of
the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy
the source along with the object code.</P>
<LI>You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise
to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
remain in full compliance.</LI>
<LI>You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
Program or works based on it.</LI>
<LI>Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions
on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.</LI>
<LI>If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license
would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all
those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the
only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
entirely from distribution of the Program.
<P>If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.</P>
<P>It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous
contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that
system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up
to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
choice.</P>
<P>This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.</P>
<LI>If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may
add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries
not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the
limitation as if written in the body of this License.</LI>
<LI>The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail
to address new problems or concerns.
<P>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and &quot;any
later version&quot;, you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by
the Free Software Foundation.</P>
<LI>If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the
Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the
two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free
software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.</LI>
</LI>
</LI>
</LI>
</LI>
</LI>
</LI>
</OL>
<H4>NO WARRANTY</H4>
<OL START="11">
<LI>BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM &quot;AS IS&quot; WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH
YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.</LI>
<LI>IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR

software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.</P>
<P>This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some
specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any
other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for your
libraries, too.</P>
<P>When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in
new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.</P>
<P>To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.</P>
<P>For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide complete
object files to the recipients so that they can relink them with the
library, after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And
you must show them these terms so they know their rights.</P>
<P>Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright the
library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.</P>
<P>Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain that
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free library.
If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its
recipients to know that what they have is not the original version, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.</P>
<P>Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free
software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect
transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this, we
have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free
use or not licensed at all.</P>
<P>Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
ordinary GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility
programs. This license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies
to certain designated libraries. This license is quite different from
the ordinary one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that
anything in it is the same as in the ordinary license.</P>
<P>The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is
that they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or
adding to a program and simply using it. Linking a program with a
library, without changing the library, is in some sense simply using
the library, and is analogous to running a utility program or
application program. However, in a textual and legal sense, the linked
executable is a combined work, a derivative of the original library,
and the ordinary General Public License treats it as such.</P>
<P>Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software
sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We
concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.</P>
<P>However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the
users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the
libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended
to permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while
preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to
achieve this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved
it as regards changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope
is that this will lead to faster development of free libraries.</P>
<P>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
&quot;work based on the library&quot; and a &quot;work that uses the library&quot;. The
former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only
works together with the library.</P>
<P>Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary
General Public License rather than by this special one.</P>
<H4>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</H4>
<P><STRONG>0.</STRONG> This License Agreement applies to any software
library which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other
authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this
Library General Public License (also called &quot;this License&quot;). Each
licensee is addressed as &quot;you&quot;.</P>
<P>A &quot;library&quot; means a collection of software functions and/or data
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.</P>
<P>The &quot;Library&quot;, below, refers to any such software library or work
which has been distributed under these terms. A &quot;work based on the
Library&quot; means either the Library or any derivative work under
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
included without limitation in the term &quot;modification&quot;.)</P>
<P>&quot;Source code&quot; for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the library.</P>
<P>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a
program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing
it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the
program that uses the Library does.</P>
<P><STRONG>1.</STRONG> You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of
the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium,
provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy
an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.</P>
<P>You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.</P>
<P><STRONG>2.</STRONG> You may modify your copy or copies of the Library
or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of
Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:</P>
<OL TYPE="a">
<LI>The modified work must itself be a software library.
<P></P>
<LI>You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating
that you changed the files and the date of any change.
<P></P>
<LI>You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to
all third parties under the terms of this License.
<P></P>
<LI>If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the
facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is
invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the
event an application does not supply such function or table, the
facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose
remains meaningful.
<P>(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a
purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application.
Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied
function or table used by this function must be optional: if the
application does not supply it, the square root function must still
compute square roots.)</P>
</LI>
</LI>
</LI>
</LI>
</OL>
<P>These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it.</P>
<P>Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Library.</P>
<P>In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a
volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other
work under the scope of this License.</P>
<P><STRONG>3.</STRONG> You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary
GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of
the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to
this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public
License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version
than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared,
then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any
other change in these notices.</P>
<P>Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that
copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.</P>
<P>This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the
Library into a program that is not a library.</P>
<P><STRONG>4.</STRONG> You may copy and distribute the Library (or a
portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that
you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.</P>
<P>If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute
the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy
the source along with the object code.</P>
<P><STRONG>5.</STRONG> A program that contains no derivative of any
portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by
being compiled or linked with it, is called a &quot;work that uses the
Library&quot;. Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the
Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.</P>
<P>However, linking a &quot;work that uses the Library&quot; with the Library
creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
contains portions of the Library), rather than a &quot;work that uses the
library&quot;. The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section
6 states terms for distribution of such executables.</P>
<P>When a &quot;work that uses the Library&quot; uses material from a header file
that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.</P>
<P>If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure
layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten
lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is
unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work.
(Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library
will still fall under Section 6.)</P>
<P>Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether
or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.</P>
<P><STRONG>6.</STRONG> As an exception to the Sections above, you may
also compile or link a &quot;work that uses the Library&quot; with the Library to
produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that
work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications.</P>
<P>You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
of these things:</P>
<OL TYPE="a">
<LI>Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the
work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if
the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete
machine-readable &quot;work that uses the Library&quot;, as object code and/or
source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to
produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is
understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files
in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the
application to use the modified definitions.)
<P></P>
<LI>Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a,
above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this
distribution.
<P></P>
<LI>If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from
a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified
materials from the same place.
<P></P>
<LI>Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials
or that you have already sent this user a copy.</LI>
</LI>
</LI>
</LI>
</OL>
<P>For an executable, the required form of the &quot;work that uses the
Library&quot; must include any data and utility programs needed for
reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally
distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components
(compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the
executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
executable.</P>
<P>It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
distribute.</P>
<P><STRONG>7.</STRONG> You may place library facilities that are a work
based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with
other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute
such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the
work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is
otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:</P>
<OL TYPE="a">
<LI>Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on
the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be
distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
<P></P>
<LI>Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that
part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find
the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.</LI>
</LI>
</OL>
<P><STRONG>8.</STRONG> You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with,
or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this
License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with,
or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate
your rights under this License. However, parties who have received
copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.</P>
<P><STRONG>9.</STRONG> You are not required to accept this License,
since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works.
These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based
on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so,
and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Library or works based on it.</P>
<P><STRONG>10.</STRONG> Each time you redistribute the Library (or any
work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a
license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or
modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not
impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the
rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance
by third parties to this License.</P>
<P><STRONG>11.</STRONG> If, as a consequence of a court judgment or
allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited
to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this
License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If
you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations
under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if
a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the
Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would
be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.</P>
<P>If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.</P>
<P>It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented
by public license practices. Many people have made generous
contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that
system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up
to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
choice.</P>
<P>This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.</P>
<P><STRONG>12.</STRONG> If the distribution and/or use of the Library is
restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under
this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or
among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.</P>
<P><STRONG>13.</STRONG> The Free Software Foundation may publish revised
and/or new versions of the Library General Public License from time to
time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.</P>
<P>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and &quot;any
later version&quot;, you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license
version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
Software Foundation.</P>
<P><STRONG>14.</STRONG> If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library
into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible
with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software
which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
and reuse of software generally.</P>
<P><STRONG>NO WARRANTY</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>15.</STRONG> BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE,
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY &quot;AS IS&quot; WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.</P>
<P><STRONG>16.</STRONG> IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR
AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO
MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A

<P>This appendix covers many of the popular TCP/IP network interfaces
and printer servers available on the market today.</P>
<H2><A NAME="10_1">Configuring a Network Interface</A></H2>
<P>When you first install a network printer or print server on your LAN,
you need to set the Internet Protocol (&quot;IP&quot;) address. On most
higher-end &quot;workgroup&quot; printers, you can set the address through the
printer control panel. However, in most cases you will want to assign
the addresses remotely from your workstation. This makes administration
a bit easier and avoids assigning duplicate addresses accidentally.</P>
<P>To setup your printer or print server for remote address assignment,
you'll need the Ethernet Media Access Control (&quot;MAC&quot;) address, also
sometimes called a node address, and the IP address you want to use for
the device. The Ethernet MAC address can often be found on the printer
test page or bottom of the print server.
<!-- NEED 3in -->
</P>
<H3><A NAME="10_1_1">Configuring the IP Address Using ARP</A></H3>
<P>The easiest way to set the IP address of a network device is to use
the <CODE>arp(8)</CODE> command. The <CODE>arp</CODE> sends an Address
Resolution Protocol (&quot;ARP&quot;) packet to the specified Ethernet MAC
address, setting the network device's IP address:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>arp -s ip-address ethernet-address ENTER</B>
<B>arp -s host.domain.com 08:00:69:00:12:34 ENTER</B>
<B>arp -s 192.0.2.2 08:00:69:00:12:34 ENTER</B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<H3><A NAME="10_1_2">Configuring the IP Address Using RARP</A></H3>
<P>The most flexible way to remotely assign IP addresses under UNIX is
through the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (&quot;RARP&quot;). RARP allows a
network device to request an IP address using its Ethernet MAC address,
and one or more RARP servers on the network will respond with an ARP
packet with the IP address the device can use.</P>
<P>RARP should be used when you have to manage many printers or print
servers, or when you have a network device that does not remember its
IP address after a power cycle. If you just have a single printer or
print server, the <CODE>arp</CODE> command is the way to go.</P>
<P>Some UNIX operating systems use a program called <CODE>rarpd(8)</CODE>
to manage RARP. Others, like Linux, support this protocol in the
kernel. For systems that provide the <CODE>rarpd</CODE> program you
will need to start it before RARP lookups will work:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>rarpd ENTER</B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>Under IRIX you can enable this functionality by default using:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>chkconfig rarpd on ENTER</B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>Both the <CODE>rarpd</CODE> program and kernel RARP support read a
list of Ethernet and IP addresses from the file<VAR> /etc/ethers</VAR>.
Each line contains the Ethernet address (colon delimited) followed by
an IP address or hostname like:</P>
<UL>

08:00:69:00:12:34 myprinter.mydomain.com
08:00:69:00:12:34 192.0.2.2

server to set its address.

<H3><A NAME="10_1_3">Configuring the IP Address Using BOOTP</A></H3>
<P>The BOOTP protocol is used when you need to provide additional
information such as the location of a configuration file to the network
interface. Using the standard <CODE>bootpd(8)</CODE> program supplied
with UNIX you simply need to add a line to the<VAR> /etc/bootptab</VAR>
file; for IRIX:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
myprinter 08:00:69:00:12:34 192.0.2.2 <VAR>myprinter.boot</VAR>

</PRE>
</UL>
<P>The<VAR> myprinter.boot</VAR> file resides in the<VAR>
/usr/local/boot</VAR> directory by default. If you do not need to
provide a boot file you may leave the last part of the line blank.</P>

</CENTER>
<H2><A NAME="10_2">Verifying the Printer Connection</A></H2>
<P>To test that the IP address has been successfully assigned and that
the printer is properly connected to your LAN, type:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>ping ip-address ENTER</B>
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>If the connection is working properly you will see something like:</P>

</UL>
<P>If not, verify that the printer or print server is connected to the
LAN, it is powered on, the LAN cabling is good, and the IP address is
set correctly. You can usually see the current IP address and network

<H2><A NAME="13_1">My Applications Don't See the Available Printers</A></H2>
<P>Many applications read the<VAR> /etc/printcap</VAR> file to get a
list of available printers.</P>
<P>The default CUPS configuration creates the<VAR> /etc/printcap</VAR>
file automatically. To enable or disable automatic creation and
updating of this file, use the<A HREF="#Printcap"> <CODE>Printcap</CODE>
</A> directive described in<A HREF="#PRINTING_MANAGEMENT"> Chapter 6,
&quot;Printing System Management&quot;</A>.</P>
<H2><A NAME="13_2">CUPS Doesn't Recognize My Username or Password!</A></H2>
<P>CUPS will ask you for a UNIX username and password when you perform
printer administration tasks remotely or via a web browser. The default
configuration requires that you use the <CODE>root</CODE> username and
the corresponding password to authenticate the request.</P>
<P>CUPS does not allow you to authenticate an administration request
with an account that has no password for security reasons. If you do
not have a password on your <CODE>root</CODE> account then you won't be
able to add printers remotely or via the web interface!
<!-- NEED 2in -->
</P>
<P>To disable password authentication you need to edit the<VAR>
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf</VAR> file and comment out the lines reading:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass System
</PRE>
</UL>
<P>for the<VAR> /admin</VAR> location. Then restart the CUPS server as
described in<A HREF="#PRINTING_MANAGEMENT"> Chapter 6, &quot;Printing System
Management&quot;</A>.</P>

</CENTER>
<H2><A NAME="ALLOW_REMOTE">I Can't Do Administration Tasks from Another

</TABLE>
</CENTER>
<!-- NEED 4in -->
<H2><A NAME="13_4">I Can't Do Administration Tasks from My Web Browser!</A>
</H2>
<P>This problem is usually caused by:</P>
<OL>
<LI>not specifying the correct password for the root account.</LI>
<LI>accessing the CUPS server using the hostname or IP address of the
server without enabling remote access for administration functions.
This can be corrected by following the instructions in the<A HREF="#ALLOW_REMOTE">
&quot;I Can't Do Administration Tasks from Another Machine!&quot;</A> section
earlier in this appendix.</LI>
<LI>not setting a password on the root account. CUPS will not
authenticate a user account that does not have a password for security
reasons.</LI>
<LI>authenticating using an account other than root, but the account you
are using is not a member of the system group.</LI>
<LI>configuring CUPS to use Digest authentication, but your web browser
does not support Digest authentication.</LI>
</OL>
<H2><A NAME="13_5">Connection Refused Messages</A></H2>
<P>Under normal circumstances, &quot;connection refused&quot; messages for a
networked printer should be expected from time to time. Most network
interfaces only allow a single connection to be made at any given time
(one job at a time) and will refuse access to all other systems while
the first connection is active. CUPS automatically retries the
connection once every 30 seconds.</P>
<P>If the problem persists and you are unable to print any jobs to the
printer, verify that another machine is not maintaining a connection
with the printer, and that you have selected the proper port or printer
name for the printer.</P>
<P>Also, most external print servers will refuse connections if the
connected printer is turned off or is off-line. Verify that the
affected printer is turned on and is online.</P>
<H2><A NAME="13_6">Write Error Messages</A></H2>
<P>If you get &quot;write error&quot; messages on a printer queue the printer
interface (usually a Hewlett Packard JetDirect interface) has timed out
and reset the network connection from your workstation.</P>
<P>The error is caused by that startup delay between the initial setup
of the printer or plotter and the first page of print data that is
sent.
<!-- NEED 3in -->
</P>
<P>To correct the problem, change the idle timeout on the interface to
at least 180 seconds or 3 minutes. To change the timeout on a Hewlett
Packard JetDirect interface, type:</P>
<UL>
<PRE>
<B>telnet ip-address ENTER</B>
Trying ip-address...
Connected to ip-address.
Escape character is `^]'.
Please type [Return] two times, to initialize telnet configuration
For HELP type &quot;?&quot;
