Cups in Docker

Docker container for CUPS configured to share an HP printer in a local network.

Build

docker buildx build -t stschwark/docker-cups:<version> --platform linux/arm64 --push .

Setup

Browse to https://<host_url>:<host_port> and add the printer.

Access from Linux

Add a printer with the following device URI:

ipp://<host_url>:631/printers/<your_printer_name>

The admin user/password for the Cups server is printeradmin/printeradmin

Make sure that the PPD file used by any local cups instance (e.g. /etc/cups/ppd/<your_printer>.ppd) has the following line commented out:

*%cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 hpcups"

The '%' character makes it a comment.
