NAME

7

SYNOPSIS

9       lprint server [ -o OPTION=VALUE ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This command starts a label print server.  Normally a server is started
13       automatically as needed, however you can run  the  server  manually  to
14       listen  on a public network address and/or enable different logging op‐
15       tions.
16

OPTIONS

18       The following options are recognized by lprint server:
19
20       -o admin-group=GROUP
21            Specifies that remote configuration is authenticated  against  the
22            named  group.   If not specified or the value "none" is given then
23            any authenticated user may remotely configure lprint.
24
25       -o auth-service=SERVICE
26            Specifies the PAM service to use to authenticate for  remote  con‐
27            figuration  requests.   If  not  specified  or the value "none" is
28            given then printers can only be added, modified,  or  deleted  lo‐
29            cally.
30
31       -o listen-hostname=HOSTNAME
32            Listens for IPP connections on the specified hostname/address(es).
33            If not specified, uses the wildcard addresses to allow connections
34            from any address.
35
36       -o log-file=-
37            Specifies that all messages are written to the standard error.
38
39       -o log-file=syslog
40            Specifies that all messages are sent to the syslog service.
41
42       -o log-file=FILENAME
43            Specifies that all messages are written to the named file.  If the
44            file already exists, messages are appended to it.  The default log
45            file is "$TMPDIR/lprintUID.log".
46
47       -o log-level=error
48            Specifies  that only error messages should be logged.  This is the
49            default.

51       -o log-level=info
52            Specifies that error and informational messages should be logged.
53
54       -o log-level=debug
55            Specifies that all messages should be logged.
56
57       -o server-hostname=HOSTNAME
58            Specifies the hostname to advertise for the server.   The  default
59            is the system hostname.
60
61       -o server-options=OPTIONS
62            Specifies  a  comma-delimited list of server options.  See "SERVER
63            OPTIONS" below.
64
65       -o server-port=PORT
66            Listens for IPP connections on the specified port.  If not  speci‐
67            fied, a random port between 9000 and 9999 is chosen.
68
69       -o spool-directory=DIRECTORY
70            Specifies  a  directory  that  holds  pending print files.  If not
71            specified, a subdirectory in the  system  temporary  directory  is
72            used.
73

SERVER OPTIONS

75       By  default,  lprint  server uses the "multi-queue" and "web-interface"
76       options.  The -o server-options=OPTIONS option can be used to  override
77       the  default  options, where "OPTIONS" is a comma-delimited list of any
78       of the following:
79
80       dnssd-host
81            When resolving conflicts, add the DNS-SD hostname instead of a se‐
82            rial number or UUID.

91            Enable  a  USB  printer gadget for the default printer (Linux only
92            for Raspberry Pi and similar embedded SBCs).
