Printer Sharing
You can configure your Mac’s CUPS print server to listen for incoming print jobs over the network. This lets other computers use your machine as their print server, printing out documents on the printers connected to it. These client machines can run any OS that can speak the CUPS, LP, or LPR protocols—e.g., Windows, Unix, or other Mac OS X machines (the latter of which would access your printers by adding an IP Printing printer entry into their own printer lists, as described earlier in Section 8.3.1.1, pointing it at your computer’s IP address).
Printer Sharing Through the Sharing Pane
The easiest way to activate this
feature involves bringing up the Sharing preferences
pane’s Services tab (Figure 8-1)
and activating the USB Printer Sharing checkbox. This automatically
modifies the relevant part of the
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf file and then restarts the
print server for you.
If the Sharing pane finds /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
in an unexpected state (such as the result of your performing manual
edits on it), then the Sharing pane will refuse to modify the file
further; the Printer Sharing checkbox will lock into a checked state,
even if you try unchecking it.
Should you find yourself in this situation and wish to make this
simple interface available again, remove the existing
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf file (backing it up
somewhere first, if you wish), and then copy
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf.old in its place. If
both files get corrupted somehow, you’ll have to fall back to your OS ...
