CUPS is awesome, I've had an old HP LaserJet 1020 that was working very well, but unfortunately driver support have been abandoned on OSX a long long while ago. My internet router has a hard drive and also the possibility of installing a virtual machine. I've installed Ubuntu on a VM, CUPS, plugged the printer to the router usb port, looked for open source Linux drivers... Now I can print from all my OSX machines without having to install any drivers, I can even print from my android phone ! I'm amazed. Thanks !!
June 14, 2017. CUPS 1.7.5 on Raspberry Pi 3 works very nicely with wi-fi connected printers as well. Setup is very straightforward. Thanks for introducing me to CUPS.
Thank you very much, it’s working great. I had some issues with choosing the right printer because I had the same problem that my printer wasn’t listed. But after several tries it is now working. Thanks again!
Many thanks for this tutorial. Followed all instructions and it worked flawlessly thie first time. I was using a wifi connected HP laserjet and did not use a USB cable but everything worked fine.
+apinakapinastorba it's really easy to do it manually... if you got the correct ppd config from the printer :D but most of the time it finds the correct driver or let you choose the right on
@@Rexodom I just wanted to comment the exact same thing😅 I mean it’s technically working but printing takes, for some reason, up to several minutes per page😏

Thank you for this amazing tutorial! I have the same exact Kyocera FS-1300D printer, and with the 1200 driver, it works perfectly fine! Now I’m gonna figure out how to make that printer wireless by using my Pi3 as a printer server. Greetings from Latvia!

+ExplainingComputers I found out that still following your instructions without plugging into usb port it finds wireless printer connection already installed with other pc. just have to put in ssid. Still wondering if I can use scan and copy feature. Still learning.
From a junior systems admin, to a senior one, thanks for this video. Straight to the point and practical. I have a little problem though. When I tried to join this printer to a Windows system the status stayed at "Connecting", and nothing happened. Should I setup/install Samba along with CUPS, or not?
@@divineminover2633 I do not know pal, my setup is wired using a RPi2, and inside of a Windows environment, connected using an IPP driver, which is native of Windows 10.
You should do an update video on CUPS. I just set up a Raspberry Pi CUPs server for an old Brother Network printer to use with my iPad. So I needed CUPS, Smba and added airprint. It wasn’t very easy with the new iPad not accepting the Raspberry Pi certificate. But I finally got it.
and what if my printer is not in the included list at 05:05 ? Where do I get the ppd file for Raspian and how to install it? Any advice @ExplainingComputers?
Hi, I'm a newbie in the Raspberry Pi community.. I recently used a RP to understand its working using the command line interface. That worked ok for my uses. Now I saw this informative video about using the RP as a Printer server. It caught me a lot cause I need a way to connect my USB inkjet printer to my LAN home network. One question arises.. After successfully programing the PI to do printer sharing what comes if there is a power outage ?? Will I have to go all over the prgramming procedure to get the RP back to its server job ? If it is, Is there a way to boot it in some way to get it back to its server work ? Boot Batch file ? Thanks. Jean-Pierre
Who, Linux? Linux isn't something you can just "buy out" and commercialize. The open source license demands that the software or any derivatives of it can't be modified without publishing the modified source code under the same license.
Great video, but do you have to use the usb cable" I saw in the menu "network Printers". Can you set up wireless printers? Excellent job as usual. Phil
+Roeland Riemens apt-get update updates the upgrade packages list -- ie where your computer should look for new stuff. apt-get upgrade updates existing packages from that list. So if you are just installing new software, you only have to run apt-get update. :)
Thanks Chris - have been using CUPS for a while now. How about a sister video explaining how to set up a local scanner on the Raspberry Pi using SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) ?
Your explanation was the only one which worked for me - using VNC always worked regardless, but I did want to use VNC all the time. Another thing is: I can print using the GUI, but not using "lpr" from the command line even though I issued "sudo apt install lpr". It doesn't error out, but it doesn't print either.
What browser are you using? I don't have that blue stripe across the top of my browser and don't have an icon that will let me print. I've done all the steps that you've shown in the video tutorial except being able to print from the cups page. Maybe my browser isn't set up right. I think I need some help from you or someone who knows. Thank you for the video. I'm trying to set up my printer for my Raspberry PI 3.
Its just that im currently exploring this raspberry for my thesis. I would like to talk to you, this is my email, amazingherome@gmail.com if you have time sir
ExplainingComputers A sweet hint: The Pi Hut is planning to make another large batch of Pi Zeros available on their site on Feb, 24th at 9 am. Be quick, last time they sold out in minutes.
For now... :) - Maybe your next challenge? I've seen some mention of SANE for this but nothing as understandable like your way of explaining how things work!
Any printer will need a driver of some kind, and this method can be used to install a driver for any printer. How well that driver will work with that printer will depend on how compatible it is. Most printers will work with a generic driver for models from that manufacturer. But to work optimally, a model-specific driver is needed. So whether this works optimally for the printing kiosks will depend on whether there is a Linux driver for the hardware involved.
ExplainingComputers lastly, is it possible 2 install 2 printers and have them active at the same time on raspi? One is for the short and the other is for the long paper. Thank you so much.
+Bill Tatum I don't know (I don't have an HP printer), but see that the installer is not listed in the support list, so you may have problems: hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/downloads.html
What do you do if the command "sudo apt-get install cups" command doesn't find the file? the terminal says this "Package cups is not available, but is referred to by another package." what do I do to install CUPS program? (On a Raspberry Pi 3 B +) Thanks for all your great tutorials!
Wow, a full week on Raspberry Pi looks quite interesting. So what the things that comes to mind? One scenario might include having Internet browser with many tabs opened while doing some editing work on LibreOffice/OpenOffice. Add some image editing or video editing (oh God) and the Pi start crunching numbers for ever! just a thought, though. Hope this experiment being well documented, as usual.
You will need to select a similar printer. So look for other Brother printer models, and try one of those. You may not get all of the driver functionality, but basic printing should work.

Hold up - - you are assuming a bit too much. 1.) how do you get cups from the internet to the pi without a network connection. 2. How do you put cups onto a sd card and install from there? THEN - - how do you set cups up for a usb printer? Should i download cups onto my pc and then use an imageing program to place it onto my sd card and then install from that point? thanks bob
Hi Chris, I noticed that you are using Raspbian and not Ubuntu Mate for your week-long Raspberry Pi desktop experience. Interesting... Why is this? I know that Raspbian is supposedly faster. Was this perhaps the reason? Thanks for the reply.
+Daniel Medeiros A good idea. I have been using Ubuntu MATE a great deal this week on the Pi and am very impressed -- the video showing this uploads on Sunday! :)

can I connect printer over WiFi using raspberry pu
Interesting Apple made this. Look at the bottom of the screen in the control panel. 4:15
Using a Pi4, I went thru the CUPS setup and got ready to add my printer (which is on a wireless network), entered ID pi and password raspberry with no luck.... I keep guessing, with no luck. Ripping out my remaining hair. HELP!
