Setting up cups, so that other computers in the local network can print

In the standard configuration, other computers in the local area network may not use a printer connected to the Kanotix computer.

That can be fixed by changing the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf:

The section 'location' looks like this by default:

:code:<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>:code:

Additions can be made by adding a further Allow for the local area network.

:code:Allow From 192.168.1.0/24:code:

Where 192.168.1.0 is the address of the local network.

Then the section 'location' looks overall like this:

:code:<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.0/24
</Location>:code:

To keep it more general, you can type instead of Allow From 192.168.1.0/24 :!

:code:Allow From @code ∞:


Good luck!
