CUPS Server Success

I ended up mapping to

  • /mnt/user/appdata/cups/config/
  • /mnt/user/appdata/cups/logs/

for 

  • /etc/cups
  • /var/log/cups

The settings I used, which were not mentioned on the docker hub page were

  • click "Advanced," then set WebUI to http://<IP-ADDRESS-OF-UNRAID-SERVER>:631
  • Network Type: Host

Network Type: Host

- I tried both Host and Bridge, and they both worked for me.

Quote

/mnt/user/appdata/cups/config/ to /etc/cups

- causes the container to succeed in creation, but fails to start (and no logs)

Quote

/mnt/user/appdata/cups/logs/ to /var/log/cups

- worked perfectly

click "Advanced," then set WebUI to http://<IP-ADDRESS-OF-UNRAID-SERVER>:631

-  I copied a different container and put `http://[IP]:[PORT:631]/`, which works!

 

 

I have an HP printer connected by USB (with Parallel Port to USB cable) that I cannot get CUPS to see. Some basic info:

See how the printer shows up in Unraid. Try, in a console window,

dmesg | grep tty

and see what you get (I'll pretend it was ttyUSB0)

Then in advanced view, add
--device=/dev/bus/usb/006/003:/dev/ttyUSB0

 

You could also see if anything here works: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems

Hi, I have been trying to setup olbat cups as some others here have suggested and can get it working but cannot work out how to make my setup persist a reboot! I've tried mapping /etc/cups to appdata/cups/config but this causes the container to fail to start, my limited knowledge of docker says that appdata is overwriting the container when I want it the other way round yes? Also need the HP plugin to persist as my Laserjet CP1025 color needs the propriatry plugin! If I run hp-plugin in the container console and accept the license then it works until reboot!

My docker run command:

root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name='cupsd' --net='host' --privileged=true -e TZ="Europe/London" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e 'TCP_PORT_631'='631' -v '/var/run/dbus/':'/var/run/dbus/':'rw' -v '/dev/':'/dev/':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/cupsd/logs':'/var/log/':'rw' 'olbat/cupsd' 

Hopefully someone with better docker knowledge can see where I'm going wrong?

Cheers,

Tim

I think that I'm going to remove CUPS from CA.  It's one of those abandoned applications.  While it does somewhat work, it's not particularly populated with printer drivers that are more commonly used today, and there are many more choices for CUPS available @ dockerHub that are kept more up to date and have a better selection of drivers within them.

I was actually looking at CUPS when i come across this thread.

 

What other options are there instead of CUPS

I've just started using this CUPS docker in order to print from a machine which has a very limited range of print drivers.  Even though all my printers are networked (I wrote an lpr/lpd driver for it), the machine in question can only print to HP PCL, PS and a couple of other old protocols.  This docker allows me to throw a PDF into a shared directory, and have it printed on, for instance, IPP ink jets.

Same question, I didn't see any other options.  I wish there was more documentation about how to set this up on UnRaid.  Just want to publish my Samsun wireless printer so my iPhone/iPad can also print.  

 

So far I've gotten to the user/password prompt but it does not accept the defaults mentioned above.

I'm very close...  I added the printer, I can see it from other devices, but when I print the jobs in the CUPS webui says:

 

"Unable to locate printer "86CA53000000.local"."

 

Any help is apprecieated.  I see a few references in googleing but I'm not sure how the docker fits into this, perhaps it isn't resolving properly in avahi?  I tried changing the name to the IP, but that doesn't seem to work for me.  I have a the IP dedicated, but I don't see where I can just change the hostname to the IP.

----------------------------

EDIT:  I was able to resolve the network issue.  I edited printers.conf and put in my IP on the DeviceURI line:

 

DeviceURI dnssd://[IP_ADDRESS]/?uuid=00000000-0000-1000-8000-XXXXXXXXXXXX

 

Unfortunately, it now prints, but the job hang at 9% and never completes...  so it looks like I'm on to the next layer of troubleshooting....
