Basic cupsys configuration for Debian Etch

Server

apt-get install cupsys cupsys-client cupsys-driver-gimpprint defoma fontconfig foomatic-db foomatic-filters libcupsimage2 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libjpeg62 libpaper1 libpng12-0 libslp1 libtiff4 patch perl perl-modules ttf-bitstream-vera ucf

/etc/cups/cupsd.conf

To send broadcast about printer existence to local network add:

BrowseAddress 192.168.1.255:631

and add a client side resolvable server name like:

ServerName yourhost.yourdomain 

Change the line:

Listen localhost:631

to:

Listen *:631

and below any:

Allow localhost

add:

Allow 192.168.1.*

then:

/etc/init.d/cupsys restart

and add the printer from:

http://cupsys-server:631/

Client

apt-get install cupsys cupsys-client cupsys-bsd gtklp gnome-cups-manager

Printer should be discovered automatically because of cups server broadcasts. If you want to add printer manually go to: https://localhost:631/ or to gnome-cups-manager.
