Setting up printers (home)

Red Hat 7.3 ships with both LPRng and CUPS, the latter has a nice
web-based configuration tool.



  • /sbin/service cups start


  • Switch to CUPS permanently using the new 'alternatives' method
    (nice bit of borrowing from debian)
    /usr/sbin/alternatives
    --config print


  • Use web interface on href="http://127.0.0.1:631">http://127.0.0.1:631
