Topic: Enable CUPS included in 7.0?

[sveerik]

How do I enable CUPS that is included in 7.0 rc1? I'm a newbie so please be detailed.
(For ipp-printing over internet, I need to change port number and use hostname instead of ip-nr.)

Thanks in advance!

It would be a non-trivial exercise. The 7.x contribs forum would be a more appropriate place to discuss such modifications.

Well, it's not an addon, it's already included in the installation but not activated. Is it going to be so nontrivial to use SME-server in the future?

It's in Centos, not SME Server - moving this topic to SME Contribs.

I don't understand. According to http://wellsi.com/sme/info/releases.html CUPS is included since version 7 of the SME-server?

It's included, but it is unconfigured and inactive. The package is only installed to satisfy a dependency of another package - I think samba.

...cups-libs is installed, not cups.

and it is samba...

[root@sme7 ~]# rpm -q --provides cups-libs
libcups.so.2
libcupsimage.so.2
cups-libs = 1:1.1.22-0.rc1.9.10
[root@sme7 ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires libcups.so.2
samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E.6
samba-3.0.10-1.4E.6

Basically you can follow Robert van den Aker's "How to install CUPS" .
He also has some recent rpms done to make things easier. I have
tried it on 7.0 rc1 as a raw  CUPS printer queue and as a shared
virtual pdf printer and it works fine.
