when you need to setup a CentOS Linux print server, CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System)to the rescue!

login to your server, and su to root.

1- Install CUPS

yum install cups

2- Install dependency

yum install ghostscript.x86_64 hplip-common.x86_64

3-start the cups service, and then set to to run on startup

service cups start
chkconfig cups on

to best administer CUPS we need to configure the web GUI

vim /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

add the following line to the top (this allows easy administration)

DefaultEncryption Never

safelist your network to allow access

–obviously you want to enter the IP of the server here, rather than what i have,

now allow your local subnet to have access to the web GUI

download (1)

that’s just for the web access, but for the ADMIN pages, you may want to lock it down further:

download (2)

save + quit after all configured

also make sure to allow the port through IPtables (if enabled)

restart the cups service once completed

download (4)

browse to https://serverip:631

download (5)

That is all

    1. Hi friend, thanks for the contact.
      Apparently, you have a problem communicating between your server and a printer. I suggest you review the printer installation format. It is necessary that all the parameters are the same as the printer.
