Re: Need to print from OES-L server with iPrint installed

[W_ Prindl]

That depends on your application. If you want to print from this server
and you do not have any other cups-printers on other servers or devices
available - yes you have to install cups and stop iprint services and
start the cups daemon to print from an application on your server.

If you e.g. have a cups printer on another server or a device running,
you probably (I did not test it on an OES iprint server) can direct
your application to this cups printer on another host as /usr/bin/lp is
the same on iprint servers and on plain SLES servers running cups.

lp -d printer-name -h host-name file-name

should print the file "file-name" to printer "printer-name" on host
"host-name".

Maybe this helps
