How to create a print Server in OMV

    • Offizieller Beitrag

    I can add printers to the docker, but they are not broadcasted or accessible by any device on the network

    ?( OK I've just run up the VM again and added my network printer to cups.


    In my W10 workstation if go into File Manager and select network, then no the printer is not displayed there under the VM, but; Settings -> Devices -> Add Printer the printer is there

    however during the setup on cups I selected the printer to be driverless

  • Hi,


    I've got a Konica-Minolta connected to a USB port on my OMV5 NAS. I'm new to OMV, so I've got work my way around it. I installed the CUPS container and it's working. I was able to configure my network printer (Brother), but CUPS fails to recognize my local (USB connected) printer.
    I entered the container to see if i could see some logging, but no success.

    I am not familiar with Docker and containers. Maybe the usb port is not recognized by the container? Or The guest is not allowed to see the hosts hardware?
    How can I connect a local printer to my NAS and make it available in CUPS? Am I missing steps?

    At least the kernel finds it:

    chipmunk03@omv-nas:~$ lsusb |grep -i minol

    Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0686:300c Minolta Co., Ltd PagePro 1300W


    Has anybody a useful tip or a helpful explanation how to configure CUPS with a local printer?

    Docker has nothing to do with CUPS other than to deploy it, the rest is completed in CupsUI

    I was able to configure my network printer (Brother), but CUPS fails to recognize my local (USB connected) printer.

    If you configured your network printer just for testing purposes that's fine but I would suggest you remove it there's no benefit to adding a printer that is already network capable.


    When you say doesn't recognise it, in what way, have you tried different usb ports, what printer is it.

  • Hi,


    thanks macom for the golden tip. I've got it working now. I added '--device /dev/dbus --/dev/usb' to the docker line and it works now.

    1. docker stop cupsd

    2. docker rm cupsd

    3. sudo docker run -d -p 631:631 -v /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus --device /dev/bus --device /dev/usb --name cupsd olbat/cupsd

    4. go to the browser

    5 in URL type http://your_ip:631, 'et voila'

  • Hi i tried to run cupsd with command

    Code
    docker run -d -p 631:631 -v /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus --name cupsd olbat/cupsd

    via SSH. Now i have 500 Internal Server Error (nginx) on my server IP, not respond from portainer (port 9000) and qbittorent (port 8080). I can connect via SSH only from adroid app (juiceSSH), windows powershell can't connect (Connection closed by 192.168.1.3 port 22). In addiction all comand from ssh or local (except few like 'sensors') returns:

    Code
    -bash: /usr/bin/docker: Input/output error
    
    or bus error

    omv-firstaid doesn't work either.

    What should i do?

    log/messages doen't contain anythin more than 2 error below.
