Hi All,
I need to set up a default CUPS printer on lots of machines in labs (
several hundred ;-( ) running Fedora 7. I've got it configured and
working on one machine. Is there any way to duplicate the settings from
that machine so that I could install the printer on the other machines
without running system-config-printer on each machine.
It's not as simple as copying the /etc/cups/printers.conf file to each
machine.
Regards,
Tony
What's in /etc/cups/lpoptions? If it says anything about the default
printer, that's the file you want to copy.

No it's empty both on the working box and the second box.

I'm lost. To share a single printer with X other computers is new to
me. For sure there must be a common data transport between the X
computers like a LAN. Now if the printer is going to stay in one place
then there is a kind of printer you just hook to the LAN. It has no
computer associated with it. But all computers are told to connect to
the printer via Internet.
My wife was given one of these, a HP and I never got it working with
a cable. I had to set up a LAN and hook it to that :-)
Is this your system Tony?
