Complete the rest of the procedure as you would for a local printer (see the section ???Adding a
Local Printer in Fedora??? earlier in this chapter).
If everything is set up properly, you can use the standard lpr command to print the file to the
printer. Using this example, employ the following form for printing:
$ cat file1.ps | lpr -P NS1-PS
If you are receiving failure messages, make sure that the computer to which you are printing
is accessible. For the preceding NS1-PS printer example, you can type smbclient
-L NS1 -U jjones. Then type the password (my9passswd, in this case). If you get a positive name
query response after you enter a password, you should see a list of shared printers and files from that
server. Check the names, and try printing again.
Working with CUPS Printing
Tools such as CUPS Web-based Administration and the Fedora Printer Configuration window
effectively hide the underlying CUPS facility. There may be times, however, when you want to
work directly with the tools and configuration files that come with CUPS. The following sections
describe how to use some special CUPS features.

Running a Print Server 26
Configuring the CUPS Server (cupsd.conf)
The cupsd daemon process listens for requests to your CUPS print server and responds to those
requests based on settings in the /etc/cups/cupsd.
