What about Router USB Print server? I have a Router with USB that have attached an Epson Printer. How do I connect as an Ubuntu printer?

[@MorphSX1]

You need so see your router's manual on how to connect/enable printers on that router and on which address to access them. Then you need to add a network printer in your OS. You don't need the procedure shown in the video.

[@chrisvax7009]

after I find your channel, I was starting to play with Linux and servers and the only think that I can tell you is thanks man make more and clean video like that you make thinks that others don't keep walking

[@piya721]

ok the rest is fine but at the end when i try to access the cups administration page then thats not working for some reason so can you plz tell a way to fix that

[@kasenratliff1832]

the /ect/network/interfaces was blank, and when I tried to save the edits, it told me that the file didn't exist... What do I do? (I'm using a raspberry pi 2 running the RPI version of Ubuntu server. I'm using Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS.)

[@Ak4russell]

Same

[@69wrc69]

Thanks a lot. I managed to put a print server on the Fujitsu Futuro S550. Everything works beautifully. A great guide!

[@jeremyloveland8685]

When you set the workgroup in the Samba config do I need to do anything different if my computers are in a domain instead of a workgroup?

[@dreecors]

great tutorial, is it possible to let it work with several wokgroups? like: secretary, classroom 1, clasroom 2, thanx

[@Xax212]

Thanks David! Awesome tutorial. Your other video on setting up a File Server was awesome and worked perfectly. Kudos friend!

[@kokomyoheinhtet]

HI I am just a beginner. As i watched ur video, there is a part i dont understand which is where should i connect the printer. Directly to the server or to one of the client. I mean if i connected to the client i need to run two machines like printer connected client and server in order to use printer.

[@AnilDhan123]

I cant find my printer in windows, when attempting to add it. What am I doing wrong? Is there any way to reach out to you, so you could help me via teamviewer or something?

[@AllMoeg]

can you make w Video with 20.04?

[@theguru83]

This is very helpful. I was able to share my printer wirelessly over my network. Thanks for making this detailed review!!

[@jeanmi1229]

I liked your tutorial. Just one question, what do you suggest, say you wanna keep the DHCP active, and use a Dynamic DNS. How would you edit eth0?

[@goguda55]

You can leave the network file unedited then. Your server's hostname will act as a Dynamic DNS :)

[@hew34]

Hi David, Thanks for the tutorial, but I am now stuck with my windows machines saying permission denied when I try to connect to them. Any idea?

[@jimvigneur]

another great job David worked great right out of the box i have a question about what you use to ssh i have been using putty but when i edit a file i.e. samba/smb.conf i get a mess it adds characters and thus adds lines in the file that i cant seem to get rid of any words of wisdom would be great on how to use putty thanks again

[@lester-mx]

You should put the shell command in the video description!

[@mon0theist_tv]

Yeah but how do you actually share the USB printers so that they're discoverable on the network? I've done all of this but no hosts on my network can see the USB printer. In this video you left the printers as unshared.

[@bombomsilva]

I followed your your vedio and work but the static ip don't I can't connect to the Internet or some time the server don't get network

[@ShaunLouw]

Awesome tutorial !!! ! please help me i need to setup samba to start automatically when the server restart

[@Jennygreen1000]

it worked like a charm thank you...it would be so awesome if you could do one on virtual host. I just cant get the hang of the way it done in 14.04.1

[@hibberdplace]

Great video - steps are clearly set out - I just had to pause it when it came to editing the various config files to make sure that I had the right path and file name - it will make good use of an Odroid U3 that was sitting in my unused box of micro-processors

[@bombomsilva]

Hey Gouda I just got Ubuntu server could you give me some info on network

[@jnnnn85]

Thanks dude this was supper helpful.

[@mohanreddy4669]

Hi, I have an old linux laptop which has mint installed on it. I have a printer and i want that printer to be shared on to other different windows computers. I want to use that old linux laptop as a wireless print server to share the printer with the network. How is this possible? Is there any tutorial for this?

[@kasenratliff1832]

You should just install Ubuntu Server Edition on the laptop, then use this guide

[@jerrytalkava]

Could you please make a video on how to make a Ubuntu MySQL server

[@donkeebaIs]

Okay, I am a complete newb/noob about Linux, file servers, print servers, and networking in general, but couldn't a Linux distro with a GUI be installed, then just share the printer on the network?

[@goguda55]

You definitely could! However, samba would still need to be configured to share the printer to Windows computers (it doesn't support CUPS's printer sharing; that's more for Linux and Mac). Also, it's generally better not to have a GUI on a dedicated server because it makes it lest secure. If you just want your everyday desktop to share the printer, then by all means, do what you suggested. :)

[@samueldesouza9735]

Thank you, great video !!! I will put this tutorial to test on a Ubuntu server, so I will cross my fingers that everything works as clean as yours did. Great job, thanks again.

[@goguda55]

No problem! Again, sorry for the huge delay. I hope everything goes well with your server, and if not, you can contact me and I'll try my best to help!

[@Bandicoot803]

Dug out an Alix2D13 and transformed it into a CUPS server with an old HP LaserJet 1010: Everything works fine, now I can send print jobs from my phone! 👍

[@awiriant]

Hi David really nice tutorials! love the simplicity of how you explain things! one question, can CUPS be configured to limit printing to black color only for certain printers? thank you.

[@kasenratliff1832]

You could just remve the color ink cartridge

[@ManvirSinghP4L]

how do i add a scanner

[@KishanKishan-wm4ri]

can u please make one on VPS

[@LuvxJacqu4li8e]

Nice time to try and add to my resume

[@HimeFrost]

begin the samba configuration 9:35

[@newmanfertig886]

Very nice. Just enough detail.

[@carljenkins7354]

Your videos are great! just fast....

[@johndinu5507]

Excellent very professional.

[@LeeCresswell87]

you can also install on the server links which is a web browser and you can then edit/enter "localhost:631"

[@KishanKishan-wm4ri]

i really like how u made it in parts

[@Bandicoot803]

That makes everything convenient, love the step-by-step to ensure delivering a working system to us! 👍

[@TheCodeMike]

Nice tutorial! Thank you for sharing.

[@Maxt3r1]

Good video, but you cant cut out the server install that pretty basis every time :)

[@Maxt3r1]

I ment please cut out server install :)

[@goguda55]

Martin Jørgensen I've considered cutting it out, but for the people building an Ubuntu server from scratch for their first time primarily for one use such as this, it's probably helpful to them. I know the first time that I watched a server video, I was happy to see the installation process there just to make sure I wasn't messing anything up. You're always welcome to skip that part of the video if you don't need it :)

[@KishanKishan-wm4ri]

thank u for this server videos, i like your file server tutorial,

[@jjstccean]

Great tutorial thank you so much!

[@АлександрКостин-о9ь]

Thank you. Very helpful

[@thehyperuser2737]

What is the point, you can just add the printer directly if it's on the network, can't you ?

[@kasenratliff1832]

It is meant for managing workflow, and for what I'm using it for, I am making a wired USB printer wireless

[@matthewcoleman3915]

I love you... :D This worked great! Thank you.

[@leecresswell7038]

i followed this exactly and end up with Forbidden You cannot access this page.

[@jimvigneur]

goguda55 Tech Tutorials looks like i spoke to soon having a crazy time with cups did everything you did and all went great until i tried to install a printer first it didn't ask me for a password just gave me the page with an x through the it did find the usb printers but even after i downloaded the drivers it gave me a job has stop filter error what could i have done wrong thanks for any help you can give great videos BTW

[@LuvxJacqu4li8e]

Wow you're the best but you speak kinda fast

[@nanaa9074]

doens't work im using a virtual machine and doesnt connect welp

[@StewartCoad]

This is wayyyy to complicated for a Linux beginner .. will you do a video for Linux beginners ?

[@kasenratliff1832]

Really, its not. You shouldn't be using a commandline-based OS if you don't know what you're doing

[@p3d40]

Fantastico!!

[@shayhavardi9276]

Thank you very much

[@rh7root]

good job

[@CVC-CSS]

Thank you.

[@LuvxJacqu4li8e]

Lol just my luck I have the same Samsung printer

[@marchmarch924]

Thanks!!

[@ericespino7361]

4 minutes for explaining how to install Ubuntu?

[@kasenratliff1832]

You get Rufus or any other drive utility, then you format a USB stick with the program, then you plug it into the computer and start it. It should automatically boot into the installation if its already Linux, but if it is Windows, you might have to go into the Bios to change the first boot priority from Internal Hard Drive, or whatever its set to, then replace it with Removable Media, or something like that.

[@LuvxJacqu4li8e]

Lol again
