A checklist, intended to be a troubleshooting tool for printing.

Intended to list programs that can be run or files that can be checked to confirm proper setup and operation of a printer.

Initially will be just random things I think of -- hope to evolve to something organized and straightforward.

Notes

A General Word About Permissions

In general, certain users must have certain permissions on certain files in order for an Ethernet NIC to work properly. Having the necessary permissions may be direct (permissions of the owner), via membership in a group, or by having those permissions apply to all. (Clearly, the more widely the necessary permissions are distributed, the higher the risk to security of the system.)

Initially I may specify something general here, like all related configuration files must be readable by <user> -- as I learn more and can get more specific, I will try to do so.

Printing Systems

There is more than one "system" of printing available in Linux -- I intend to work toward checklists specific for each printing system system, but will probably start out more general.

Printing systems:

• cups
• lpd (??)
• ??
