Document USB printer setup #29

Hi @DrPsychick !

Useful commands: |
Perfect, thanks @sunmeplz. I'll put together a doc for it. |
in my case adding |
As it seems @sunmeplz and @FrancYescO you both succeeded with a USB printer setup. Would you be willing to submit a PR with a short description/guide in |
I don't think a separate USB.md file is needed, expecially because your README is pretty verbose (in my opinion all things that requires a fully rebuild of the container should be removed and guide the user to use volumes/some env variable), probably a few lines added are enought to describe how to add an USB printer I'll try to do a PR after a little more testing ;) |
I know this is almost a solved issue, but since I found this docker image very useful I wanted to share my experience with a USB printer. In my setup, Docker is running on a VM under ESXI; the printer is physically attached to the server and mounted to the same VM as Docker. Once I started the container, I then used the official "Driver Install Package" for my printer (Brother) via console to install the drivers and configure the printer as a "local USB Printer". Doing so, CUPS was able to automatically detect the aforementioned printer: in fact, it was already installed, I had to just tweak a few options and it was ready to print. Probably this is one of those "happy case scenarios" where everything went smooth by sheer luck. Although - maybe- it's worth mentioning as a possible "Easy Step" for those dealing for the first time with CUPS and not familiar with CLI commands. |
