Installing Printer OS Level in EBS R12.2

By -

High Level Steps

  • RPM Installation 
  • Firewall port Open 
  • Collect the Printer information from user 
  • Install the printer 
  • ADD PRINTER ON THE APPLICATION SIDE

RPM Installation  

Install the required RPMs on the linux server in my server cups related RPMs already installed 

[applmgr@vtebz1 ~]$ rpm -qa |grep cups 

ghostscript-cups-9.25-5.el7.x86_64 

cups-filters-1.0.35-28.0.1.el7.x86_64 

cups-filesystem-1.6.3-51.el7.noarch 

cups-filters-libs-1.0.35-28.0.1.el7.x86_64 

cups-1.6.3-51.el7.x86_64 

cups-client-1.6.3-51.el7.x86_64 

cups-libs-1.6.3-51.el7.x86_64 

[applmgr@vtebz1 ~]$ 


Example1 : 

[applmgr@ vtebz1 ~]$ nc -vz 10.20.30.555 631 

Ncat: Version 7.50 ( https://nmap.org/ncat ) 

Ncat: Connected to 10.20.30.555 631 .

Ncat: 0 bytes sent, 0 bytes received in 0.06 seconds. 

[applmgr@ vtebz1 ~]$ 


Example 2:  

[applmgr@ vtebz1 ~]$  nc -vz 10.20.30.555 631 

Ncat: Version 7.50 ( https://nmap.org/ncat ) 

Ncat: Connection timed out. 

You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/applmgr 

[applmgr@ vtebz1 ~]$ 

If connection timed out mean port not opening. Need to raise firewall team to port open request  


Collect the below Printer information from user 

Users will give below information 

Please add the following printer to EBS. 

Printer Name:  <Printer_Nmae>

IP: <IP>

Location:  <Location>

CHECK PRINT QUEUE STATUS AT OS Level 

Example 1: 

[applmgr@ vtebz1 ~]$ lpstat -a <Printer_name> 

Remember printer names are case-sensitive. 

lpstat: Invalid destination name in list "<Printer_name>".  

Invalid destination name mean printer not installed in OS level 

 

Example2: 

[applmgr@ vtebz1 ~]$ lpstat -p <Printer_name>

Remember printer names are case-sensitive. 

printer <Printer_name> is idle.  enabled since Tue 08 Mar 2022 01:35:35 AM EST 

Above output showing printer installed in OS level. 


Install the Printer to OS  

Step1: Collect full name of printer 

Command nslookup <Printer_Name> 

[applmgr@ vtebz1 ~]$ nslookup BALLZR03.apps.ebslab.com 

Server:        169.254.169.254 

Address:     169.254.169.254#53 

Non-authoritative answer: 

Name:   BALLZR03.appl.ebslab.com 

Address: 00.00.05.085 

[applmgr@ebslab ~]$ 


Step2:- 

Install the printer using below OS command 

Syntax:-

lpadmin -p <PRINTER NAME> -E -v socket://<Printer DNS NAME>:9100 -D "Destination of the PRINTER" -L "Location of the PRINTER"

sudo lpadmin -p BALLZR03  -E -v lpd://BALLZR03.appl.ebslab.com /BALLZR03 -D "BAL - Perryville, MD" -L "BAL - Perryville, MD" 


REGISTER THE PRINTER ON THE APPLICATION SIDE 

Go to System Administrator > Install > Printer > Register   

Query the target printer’s name (add printer name) 

Update the printer “Type” field with the “–Pasta Universal Printer Type” 

Frequently using commands

cat /etc/cups/printers.conf                   (Printer configuration dtails)

lpstat <printer name>                           (Should return no entries)

lpstat -a <Printer name>                       (Display the printer status)

lpstat -p<printername>                         (Display the printer status)

lpstat -o<printername>                         (Display the pending queue)

lpstat -v|grep <printer_ip_address>      (Display the printer's name)

lpstat -v<printer_name>                        (Display the printer ip address)

lpstat <printer name>| wc-1                   (To check number of pending queue item)

Is -ld <printer name>                             (To find out correct printer name)
