print serving / print clients
I have a Linux machine with a non-networked Brother printer (HL-5150D). I want the Fedora 20 machine to be a print server for a Ubuntu 12.04 machine. They are not co-operating for me. What protocol do you use or recommend? IPP (my naive choice), JetPrint (I think that's what the HP-invented protocol is called), LPR, or SMB, ...? Which are secure, easy, powerful? What firewall hacking is needed?
My Ubuntu PVR, calvin, supports a printer which presents a CUPS 1.7.2 web admin on port 631 and the printer on usb://EPSON/Stylus%20Photo%20700?serial=066030217dxsc3ei My local machine running CUPS 1.7.5 sees the remote machine/printer pair as "dnssd://EPSON%20Stylus%20Photo%20700%20%40%20pvr._ipp._tcp.local/cups" I think dnssd is DNS Service Discovery, a zeroconf thingie, but it could be Dental Negative Storage System, Distributed for all I know (;-)) --dave On 05/26/2015 08:02 PM, D.

Cups for IPP. That way only the print server needs a working driver, everyone else just uses postscript to the print server. -- Len Sorensn
