CUPS is a printing system that allows you to print files from your computer to a variety of printers. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install CUPS on OpenBSD.
Before you begin, you will need the following:
Open a terminal window.
Install CUPS using the OpenBSD package manager:
pkg_add cups
rcctl enable cupsd
rcctl start cupsd
Configure the printer(s) that you want to use with CUPS.
Open a web browser and navigate to the CUPS web interface at http://localhost:631.
Click on the "Administration" tab and enter your root username and password to access the CUPS administration page.
Follow the prompts to add your printer.
Test that your printer is working by printing a test page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed CUPS and set up one or more printers. You can now use CUPS to print files from your OpenBSD computer.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
