Hi folks,
I've found a number of articles on setting up a Linux / CUPS / Avahi server to
allow airprinting, but they all seem to be quite old.
Two questions:
1) Does anyone have a link for a more recent article, hopefully specifically
for Centos7.
I've not seen specific instructions for CentOS 7, but when I last did
this the actual AirPrint script was simple enough that I doubt you'd
have trouble. Main thing is making use that you can print directly from
your CentOS machine.
2) I'm on a structured, VLAN network. Will I have to put a WIFI card into my
Centos server to give it a presence on the WIFI before this will work?
Depends how the network is set up. I had my AirPrint server on a
different VLAN to the wifi, and you need the following for that to work:
An Avahi bridge so the announcements from AirPrint are also announced on
the WiFi
Firewall rules to allow the CUPS port through from the WiFi to your server
I found this was pretty easy to configure, but I was able to completely
control the network (putting VMs on any VLAN; opening firewalls etc.).
It might be easier to use wifi in your setup.
