Setting up a printer on OpenBSD and CUPS for use at University of Kent Computing Lab

So I have wasted much time trying to figure this out on a couple of occasions now, so I am going to document how it is done:


  • Install cups - pkg_add -i cups

  • Install samba-cups - pkg_add -i samba

  • Do the stuff it says to do in the install message.

  • ln -s `which smbspool` /usr/local/libexec/cups/backend/smb

  • Start cupsd - /usr/local/sbin/cupsd

  • Goto localhost:631 in a browser

  • Add a samba printer with url similar to: smb://username:password@ukc/hostname/queue



If the www interface will not accept the root password, try adding a user 'cupsys'.

I'm using LPR to connect to our unix printing cluster at the moment. Quite straightforward to use, but sometimes miss the Windows client that tells you which printers you are near in whichever office you're in at the time.

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.
