  • Some suggestions if you run Raspian:

     

    You should probably install:

    cupsys (cups itself, the server that receives print jobs)

    cupsys-bsd (cups version of bsd print command like lpr)

    cupsys-client (cups print commands, "lp" and others)


    Install CUPS (the cupsys package) and then the foomatic-bin and

    foomatic-db packages, the most complete printer driver database and

    helpers. Follow their docs and manpages, they are very easy to follow,

    and luckily with a single command line your printer will be set up.


    Hope this helps,

    Clem
