Here's an a quick example on how I added my printer: lpadmin -p Canon_LBP7210Cdn \ -P /usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP7210CCAPTK.ppd \ -v ccp://localhost:59687 -E ccpdadmin -p Canon_LBP7210Cdn -o net:192.168.0.215 Make the service autostart: if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.ccpd ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.ccpd start fi To check status of the printer, use: captstatusui -P Canon_LBP7210Cdn
