Department Printer Set-up

Install Cups as your printing system. (Many Linux systems have cups as the defualt printing system.) Downloads of RPMs and source are available at www.cups.org

FreeBSD users can build Cups from the ports. (print/cups-base, print/cups-lpr) Debian Linux users, run 'apt-get install cupsys-bsd'.

When Cups is configured, place the following line in the client.conf file, (which will be in /etc, /etc/cups, or /usr/local/etc/cups):

ServerName spool.physics.purdue.edu

Then, Cups should be able to access any department printer as on a PCN UNIX system
