rpi-cups-gutenprint

Installation

Initial Pi setup

  1. Download the latest raspbian instance from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ (recommend: 2015-11-21-raspbian-jessie-lite)
  2. Unzip the zip file, using p7zip if unzip can't do it (brew install p7zip, 7za x [filename])
  3. Install the image on to a Pi. Recommend if you have a mac: http://alltheware.wordpress.com/2012/12/11/easiest-way-sd-card-setup/
  4. Boot your Pi
  5. Figure out your Pi's IP address on the network
  1. ssh into your Pi: ssh pi@[your ip address]. When the password prompt appears, type raspberry
  2. If you need to configure your Pi for Wifi access, the on the Pi
  1. Expand the file system and reboot using sudo raspi-config

Installation

  1. Download the install file wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DoctorLar/rpi-cups-gutenprint/master/install.sh.
  2. Make it executable chmod +x install.sh
  3. Execute it with root permissions sudo ./install.sh

This installation takes around an hour, largely because it needs to compile gutenprint.

Printers

It's easiest to add a printer through the administration terminal. Head to https://[your ip address]:631 and add printers under the administration tab.

Note, if you want your printer to just keep working I recommend setting the Error Policy (in default options) to Abort job.

This script prints to the default printer in the system, so be sure to configure your printer as the default.
