 +====== 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:
 +  cupsddk{a} cupsddk-drivers{a} foomatic-filters-ppds gconf2{a} gconf2-common{a}
 +  gksu{a} gnome-keyring{a} hicolor-icon-theme{a} hpijs{a} hpijs-ppds{a} hplip{a}

 +
 +
 +
 +
 +====== 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' 
 +
