  • CUPS in Linux

    The Common Unix Printing Service (CUPS) is the Linux/Unix implementation of the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). It is responsible of printing services on a Red Hat Linux system.
    system-config-printer

    The Red Hat GUI tool to configure printing services is 'system-config-printing'. It is a friendly way to configure CUPS priting services. It configure and activates on boot the cupsd daemon :
    Code:
    $ /etc/init.d/cupsd status
    Another way to configure CUPS is using the Web interface on
    Code:
    http://localhost:631
    Line Print Daemon Commands

    Although the system uses CUPS to manage the printing services, users can still use Line Print Daemon (LPD) commands :

    Code:
    $ lpc status
    Shows the status of all known printing queues.
    Code:
    $ lpr -Pprinter filename
    It sends the file filename to the printing queue 'printer'.

    Code:
    $ lpq
    
    LaserJet12 is ready and printing
    Rank          Owner          Job          Files              Total Size
    active          root          373          /etc/fstab          10240 bytes
    1st              root         374         /etc/inittab        10240 bytes
    It shows all printing jobs submitted on the printing queues. In this case the file /etc/fstab is being printed on LaserJet12, the file /etc/inittab will be printed after /etc/fstab.
    Code:
    $ lprm 374
    It removes the printing job with id=374, so the file /etc/inittab will not be printed.
