@ -21,3 +21,25 @@ For Linux computers follow these instructions:
- Restart the CUPS service: `systemctl restart cups`
- Test connectivity: `lpstat -r`
- Check the detected printers with: `lpstat -v`
## Usage
This section addresses the usage of the CUPS.
### Adding a Printer
A printer can be added using the webinterface.
The webinterface is normally reachable on port 631.
This process is guided and should be self-explanatory.
However in some cases additional drivers have to be installed.
For example Brother label printers of the ptouch series feature drivers that are available for most
[Linux](/wiki/linux.md) distributions in a package named `printer-driver-ptouch`.
When adding the printer a network address has to be given.
For USB printers this can be done via the USB protocol.
Continuing the example Brother label Printer QL-600 the connection `usb://Brother/QL-600` is
sufficient.
When using multiple printers the serial number can be given in addition to this.
This is done by appending it the the mentioned connection string and will look like
`usb://Brother/QL-600?serial=000J1Z140282`.
The examples using the Brother printer are taken from a
[dwaves article](https://dwaves.de/2022/07/13/gnu-linux-debian-11-how-to-setup-brother-ql-600-labelprinter/).

### Add TTF Font
A font can be added to the local users fonts using a `.ttf` file.
