Ubuntu Servers :: How To Install USB Printer On Server 11.04?
Jul 7, 2011
I installed Server 11.04 and selected the options for the print server and file server. I would like to add a HP Officejet J3680 printer (USB connection) but cannot figure out how. On a remote computer running Ubuntu 11.04 desktop, I tried using the CUPS web interfce but I keep getting the "Unable to connect" message. I installed webmin on the same remote computer and tried installing it that way. That way, I selected "USB Printer 1" and used "generic postscript driver" This did not work. I do not know how to install a printer. I'll use command line on the server if necessary. How is this done?

I want to set up a home / file / torrent / web / print server at home. I am using a dell optiplex gx240 and my printer is a Epson dx8400. I was wondering if it is possible to use the printer and scanner connected to the server. Has anyone done this before? I hope to print from any computer in my house. Scanning would probably be the hardest part I guess.

After struggling with a bad LP cable I have finally proven that the cable, printer and port all work. I booted in to another OS and was able to finally print. Now, I'm trying to get server 10.4 to recognize the printer and then I want to configure CUPs so I can run this machine as a headless print server, among other things.
Apache is running as I managed to get nagios to run and I can pull it up from another PC via a browser.
sshd is running as I'm logged in from another PC via ssh.
Problem number 1 is how do I install a driver for an NEC Superscript 870 printer? As it is lpstat returnes with :
karl@zeus:/etc/cups$ lpstat -t
scheduler is not running
no system default destination
Once I am able to print then I need to print to the server from other hosts on the network.

I use Ubuntu Server 10.04 and would like to share my printer from it. I have a Canon Pixia MP270 and I can download the source drivers from URL...There is also a deb file driver download tested on ubuntu 9.04 but I fails to install.Im not worried about the scanner option on the printer I just want to be able to share the printer to my Windows 7 PC.
How do I install the source drivers?I presume once its installed I can share the printer through webmin and install it on my Windows 7 machine?

I have a Synology DS110+ NAS which has print server feature. It is powered with a lightweight Linux version. I also have a Canon LBP2900 printer which is compatible with Linux, and I can use it with the proprietary driver if connected directly to my computer. As the NAS doesn't have this proprietary driver, it doesn't detect the printer as such when plugged in. How can I install this driver on the NAS?

I have a Centos 5.3 server with Samba file shares and a shared Samba printer. I am not running a domain.
I recently changed my windows desktop pc from an XP machine to a vista 64 machine... It has a different user name. Everything went pretty smoothly - and the and the vista machine found the smba printer - and even downloaded the driver from the samba server. he printer works OK - and the file shares are fine.
The only thing which is quite odd - is that the Printer Properties dialogue takes more than 30 seconds to come up - and every action you attempt with the dialogue takes a similar amount of time.
I will include below the essence of my smb.conf:

I've bought a HP Photosmart printer, HP Photosmart wireless e-All-in-One printer - B110a and i've got a problem installing it properly. I'm using Debian 6.0 Squeeze. When i connect the printer, Debian doesn't recognize my printer as the Photosmart B109 printer for unknown reason. When i go to the site of HP and search for a driver, it directs me to this site:I've downloaded that latest hplip file as a .run file and installed it. My printer is recognized proparly, but when i try to print a colored image, it comes out black/white. Something is not crrect. Does anyone recognize this problem with this type HP printer?

I'm trying to install Alternative PHP Cache on my web server and am running into an error with pecl.
Code:
checking whether apc needs to get compiler flags from apxs...I was not able to successfully run APXS. Possible reasons:
1. Perl is not installed;
2. Apache was not compiled with DSO support (--enable-module=so);
3. 'apxs' is not in your path. Try to use --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs
The output of /var/tmp/pear-build-root/APC-3.0.19/y follows

I'd like to install an IRC server on my website (it's hosted on another server location).I can log into the server side of things but am not sure how much control I have of installing applications. I'd like an IRC that's easy to install and easy to set-up. I logged into the cPanel page of the site and found this "general server information":
Operating system: Linux
Kernel version: 2.6.9-78.0.22.EL
Machine type: i686
Apache version: 1.3.41 (Unix)
[code]....
Unfortunately there's not an IRCd/server type of application available on the "Fantistico Deluxe" application installer feature.

So when I install 10.04 LTS server with all the defaults. ie root parted with lvm, I get a grub error. Apparently the install script at the end of the installation does not take into account that I might install ubuntu on a different drive.
Without LVM, I can get it to work. If I drop down to shell and mount the root drive, then run:
grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sdc And all is good. But I want LVM on my boot drive. Does anybody out there know of an easy way of doing this? This really should be a bug. But I'm too much a noob to know where to issue this.

Attempting to install 10.04 Server on an IBM Series X 232 server. Its an old server with dual p III's, 4 small drives and an adaptec controller with a RAID 5 array. The server is currently running CentOS 5.5.
The CD I am installing from is known good. I verified it after I wrote it and verified it again during the install process. The system boots from the CD, I accept the defaults, then it fails at "adding additional components".

This is a draft write up. There could possibly be some errors in paths.
EDIT:I made a test version of a live PXE CD.
[URL]
excersise is a pxe install & utility server targeted to home users.This is particular interesting since many device sold now does not have an optical drive.We want to use a proxyDHcp since most people are using dhcp on a home router without pxe support. I do not include a sub structure 32bit/64bit, in this example all is 32bit.I have documented this since it was quite a struggle to put it together. Not a lot of correct information out there.I think a consilidated wiki page should be created.My own contribution is making it work and collecting the info. I have copied much of it from:

im totally rubbish at command line. I have a small business server for home use, thats where i work from. I have Windows Small Business Server but a lot of the time its crap and am trying Linux. I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on a desktop and while im new to it im very impressed. I also have a MAC and i must say id rather have Ubuntu.
Now i want to use Linux Server but its all command line and i want the GUI. Iv tried to do this on Ubuntu Server 9.04 and no sucess at all , iv followed the instructions from other posts, (1) sudo apt-get update, (2) sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and nothing works. Is there a way to install the GUI or is there a Linux Server with the GUI pre-installed?

I am trying to mount my usb printer in Ubuntu Server 9.10. I'm trying to do this so that the usb printer will be picked up by vmware server so the Windows XP guest I have on there will then be able to access the printer as if it were hooked up to it directly. I found a few posts online and this is what I've done so far. I found in a couple of posts that they said I should uncomment out the following lines in /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh. Well I found that the file didn't exsist. Someone posted up their copy of it so I copied that code into the mountdevsubfs.sh script. That code is the following:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: mountdevsubfs mountvirtfs
# Required-Start: mountkernfs
# Required-Stop:
[code]....
I also added this line to the bottom of my /etc/fstab file
Code:
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto 0 0
When I go ahead and run the script it errors out on this line:
Code:
. /lib/init/mount-functions.sh
I went to go look in /lib/init and the mount-functions.sh script doesn't exist. I've googled this and I haven't been able to find anything. why am I missing /lib/init/mount-functions.sh and how can I get that script?

Having had an old machine running SMEServer for some time, I've decided it doesn't suit my needs and I've gone the Ubuntu Server 10.04 root. I'm having trouble connecting to a HP LaserJet 5P attached to the parallel port of the server. I had no trouble connecting to it when the server was running SMEServer, however, as this distro is aimed at Windows clients, the printer was configured as a Samba share.
In the new 10.04 configuration, I do not have Samba installed as I have no need for it. I'm exclusively Linux based (Ubuntu 10.04 desktop). Surely I do not have to install Samba in order to print?

I tried to install Ubuntu Server on an Alix2d2 board: [URL]It has a CF card connected with an IDE interface and no vga output. The processor is a AMD Geode. I'm aware that I need a 386 kernel as described in the german wiki:
[URL]
What I did so far:
Installed imedia linux PCengines Alix build [URL] on an other Ubuntu machine with usb cf interface. This worked but I don't know how I can install Ubuntu from imedia linux.
Installed Ubuntu Server on the same Ubuntu machine. Installed the 386 kernel and changed the grub config file to enable the serial output to a terminal and updated grub[URL]. I created the file /etc/init/ttyS0.conf that the serial interface still works after the bootloader [URL].Unfortunately the alix board writes only "GRUB loading." and some empty lines.
Tried to boot with Tftpd32.exe by Ph. Jounin following this guide: [URL] So I set up a TFPT server following this german wiki: [URL]As advised changed /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/default/tftpd-hpa, prepared the boot image and the DHCP server. This should be enough on the server. I have to write N over the serial port to the board while it performs memory test to enable PXE boot. This was partly successful: it gets an IP adress but afterwards nothing happens. I can't find any error message in the syslog.
I attached my configuration files. As boot image I used [URL] and used the following commands to bring it into the right place:
Code:
sudo tar -xvzf netboot.tar.gz -C /var/lib/tftpboot/
sudo chown -R nobody:nogroup /var/lib/tftpboot
installing Ubuntu Server with PXE or from the other machine to the CF card or even directly from imedia linux.

I've been running denyhosts on Ubuntu 8.04 servers without any problems using the how-to found hereow that I have a new Ubuntu 10.04 server running, I thought I would just install denyhosts from the Ubuntu repository not realizing that the paths and filenames of the install are different from the how-to I am used to using.I figured out what the name of the new denyhosts config file is (at least new to me) and the new location, but I'm not sure about the "allowed-hosts" config file.Does anybody know where the new path for this file is and whether the filename is still the same?
