Add printer to Raspian / Debian with CUPS

This is handy because it has instructions on how to open up the CUPS management page to your lan.

Already on one of my pi boxes.

Steps:

sudo apt-get install cups
sudo usermod -a -G lpadmin pi

sudo vi /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Edit lines to remove localhost,  allow local access, file it.
# Only listen for connections from the local machine
# Listen localhost:631
Port 631

    < Location / >
    # Restrict access to the server...
    Order allow,deny
    Allow @local
    < /Location >

    < Location /admin >
    # Restrict access to the admin pages...
    Order allow,deny
    Allow @local
    < /Location >

    < Location /admin/conf >
    AuthType Default
    Require user @SYSTEM

    # Restrict access to the configuration files...
    Order allow,deny
    Allow @local
    < /Location >

Restart cups

sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart

access cups from http://host:631/ from your local lan.
