Printer Support

On the tabletop:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install cups cups-bsd
sudo usermod -a -G lpadmin folk

cups-bsd provides the lpr command that we use to print.


Accessing the CUPS Web UI

To access the CUPS interface, create an SSH tunnel from your laptop:

ssh -L 6310:localhost:631 folk@folk-WHATEVER.local

Leave this terminal window open.

Then open your browser and go to:

http://localhost:6310

→ Go to Printers. If your printer shows up automatically, try printing a test page.

If the automatically added printer (implicitclass:) doesn’t work, follow the steps below.
