Advantages of setting up for direct printing setup vs CUPS
** For Ubuntu systems where the IP address of the printer is known (usually labelled on the printer itself) one can add a printer with the Everywhere driver:
sudo lpadmin -p $pinter_name -E -v ipp://$printer_ip_address/ipp/print -m everywhere
- Although CUPs printing is the easiest to setup
- ) You can not cancel your own jobs once they have been sent
- ) You do not get detailed feedback from the printer when there are errors
- Such as: Paper Jam, Paper out, Toner out, waiting for manual feed
- Setting up to print directly to the printer itself avoids all of these issues.
