Cups: The Common Unix Printing System

Configure cups at /etc/cups/supsd.conf, or visit the local webpage at http://localhost:631 if you want to use the Apple interface, otherwise, it's the printing daemon.

The Printing Daemon

The printing daemon automatically reads the cups configuration file. It prints with:

lp mytext.txt

Find a list of printers with:

lpq

You can specify a printer with -d:

lp -d DCP7060D article.pdf

Alternatively, if you see a printer number, cancel job 33 with:

lprm 33

or just cancel all jobs:

lprm -

See printers on network:

lpstat -a

Block or accept all jobs with:

cupsreject DCP7060D

cupsaccept DCP7060D
