====== My Printer server project. ======
 
First I started by building a Debian server: This was done using my documentation from last semester, found at http://lab46.corning-cc.edu/user/jbrant/csit1320/project2. 

After the server was built I then added typescript and configured it to document my change so that I would have reference material for the paper. 

Step 1 Installing Cups: \\
**apt-get install cupsys cupsys-driver-gutenprint foomatic-db-gutenprint foomatcic-ffilters fontconfig libtiff4 libfreeype6type6** 

With this the following packages where added: \\

avahi-daemon avahi-utils bind9-host cups cups-client cups-common
cups-driver-gutenprint dbus dbus-x11 defoma file fontconfig-config foomatic-db
foomatic-db-engine ghostscript ghostscript-x gs-common gs-esp gsfonts ijsgutenprint
libavahi-client3 libavahi-common-data libavahi-common3 libavahi-compat-libdnssd1
libavahi-core5 libbind9-50 libcap2 libcups2 libcupsimage2 libdaemon0 libdb4.5
libdbus-1-3 libdns55 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgs8 libgutenprint2 libice6
libijs-0.35 libisc52 libisccc50 libisccfg50 libjpeg62 libldap-2.4-2 liblwres50
libmagic1 libnss-mdns libpaper-utils libpaper1 libpng12-0 libpoppler3 libslp1 libsm6
libsqlite3-0 libtalloc1 libwbclient0 libxml2 libxt6 mime-support openssl
openssl-blacklist perl perl-modules poppler-utils psfontmgr python python-minimal
python2.5 python2.5-minimal samba-common sgml-base smbclient ssl-cert ttf-dejavu
ttf-dejavu-core ttf-dejavu-extra ucf xml-core \\

After all the packages where installed I configured the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file: \\
This was done by making a back up copy of the conf file called cupsd.conf.bak. \\
Then editing the original file: \\
Making changes to the sections shown below. \\
**view /etc/cups/cupsd.conf** 

<code>
# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
Listen localhost:631
Listen 10.80.1.18
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock


# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
  Order allow,deny
Allow localhost
Allow 10.80.1.*
Allow 10.80.2.*
Allow 10.80.3.*
</Location>

# Restrict access to the admin pages...
<Location /admin>
  Order allow,deny
  Allow localhost
  Allow 10.80.1.18
  allow 10.80.2.*
  allow 10.80.3.*
</Location> 

# Restrict access to configuration files...
<Location /admin/conf>
#  AuthType Default
  Require user @SYSTEM
  Order allow,deny
Allow localhost
Allow 10.80.1.18
</Location> 
 
</code>

After getting the config file setup we need to install a web server to host the cups web page. \\
**wget http://download.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/lighttpd-1.4.28.tar.gz** 

Next unpack the file:\\  
**tar -xvvzf lighttpd-1.4.27.tar.gz ** \\
\\
Then I needed a library: \\
**apt-get install libpcre3** \\
\\
The following extra packages will be installed: \\
binutils cpp cpp-4.3 gcc gcc-4.3 libc6-dev libgmp3c2 libgomp1 libmpfr1ldbl
libmysqlclient15off linux-libc-dev zlib1g-dev

After getting everything installed I need to configure the web browser There are only 2 lines that needed to be changed they are: 

**## bind to port (default: 80) server.port =80 ** \\
**## bind to localhost only (default: all interfaces) server.bind = “localhost”** \\ 

Before we bring up the services we need to install some print fonts: \\
**aptitude search fooinstall foomatic-db-gutenprint foomatic-filters-ppds**\\

With this the following NEW packages were installed:

====== Now we are ready to bring the print services up ======
 
First bring up the web server: \\
**/etc/init.d/lighttpd start**

Next bring up the printer server:\\
**/etc/init.d/cups start** 

After getting the print server up and running we need to bring up the web page for the print server: \\

**http:printer.lair.lan:631**

Once the print server webpage comes up select:\\ **Administration** \\
Then select:\\ **Find New Printers** <This will search for any available printers on the network.>

Next select the printer you want to add. \\
Give it a name and then select the driver for the printer.\\
There will be a list of drivers find the closed match. \\
In order to get command line printing to working you need to edit a file called /etc/cups/printers.conf : \\
**vi  /etc/cups/printers.conf** 

<code># Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.3.8
 # Written by cupsd on 2010-11-05 14:26
 <Printer lair_cp1518ni> Info HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni 
Location Lair DeviceURI socket:10.80.1.50 State Idle 
StateTime 1288981329
Accepting Yes 
Shared Yes 
JobSheets none none 
QuotaPeriod 0
 PageLimit 0 
KLimit 0 
OpPolicy default 
ErrorPolicy stop-printer
 </Printer></code>

Finally we need to do some testing\\
lpoptions -d printer <where printer is the name of the printer> \\
login to you favorite browser and find page you want to print and then select print.\\

The printer should print \\

to print from line command just do: **lp file-name** 'This will use the default printer'
