I can print to my wireless printer from my laptop just fine, but I'm having trouble getting it to work from my Raspberry Pi. I found some instructions that said to install cups-client, then edit the cups client.conf file. However, after installing cups-client I didn't have the etc/cups directory. I tried also installing cups and found that the directory was created after that, but I still did not have the .conf file. I found an example file in /usr/share/doc/libcups2/examples and copied it to the cups directory. I then added ServerName [IP of my printer]:631
and tried printing again, but it still didn't work. I tried using lpr but nothing prints, and in LibreOffice the only printer listed is Generic Printer. lpstat doesn't output anything, and when I run lpstat -t
I get
scheduler is running
no system default destination
lpstat: -1 not supported!
lpstat: -1 not supported!
lpstat: -1 not supported!
lpstat: -1 not supported!
Similarly, most other lpstat options give the not supported error. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
