Seth the hostname:
hostnamectl set-hostname printserver1
Install a basic print server:
apt-get install lprng
Create a printer configuration file:
nano /etc/printcap
dymoprinter|localprinter:\ :lp=/dev/usb/lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/dymoprinter:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:
Enable communication on port 515:
nano /etc/lprng/lpd.conf
Then add:
lpd_listen_port = 515
Edit this file:
nano /etc/lprng/lpd.perms
Ensure you comment out this line:
REJECT NOT SERVER
You can check logs by:
lpq -v
If you wish to use WiFi use CLI based WiFi connection:
nmtui
I typically install vnstat as well as dark stat (configured to port :80); just to allow HTTP communication. In Windows, assign the LPR name and enable LPR Byte Counting. SNMP Settings do not need to be set.
