Setting up my Xerox WC3119
I am doing this over and over again. Along with writing puppet config I am posting the recipe for my WC3119 configuration here in case somebody finds it useful too. I will describe the setup of Xerox WC3119 for remote printing and scanning in Ubuntu Precise Pangolin (12.04).
Basic setup
The printer is supported by SpliX driver:
sudo apt-get install openprinting-ppds printer-driver-splix
Also, you will want to blacklist usblp module (otherwise you will have “usblp0:
removed
” entries in dmesg and printer may work sometimes but fail at random).
Add the following to /etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf
:
# Xerox WC3119 splix works with libusb blacklist usblp
Remote CUPS access
By default CUPS does not listen to the network and does not accept remote
configuration. Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
to enable:
# For IPv6 Listen [::]:631 # For IPv4 Listen 0.0.0.0:631 # Restrict access to the server... <Location /> Order allow,deny Allow @LOCAL </Location> <Location /admin> Order allow,deny Allow @LOCAL </Location> # Restrict access to configuration files... <Location /admin/conf> AuthType Default Require user @SYSTEM Order allow,deny Allow @LOCAL </Location>
@LOCAL
expands to the names of all the local interfaces.
Remote scanner access with saned
Install sane-utils
and edit /etc/sane.d/saned.conf
:
## Access list # My local IPv4 network 192.168.1.1/24 # My local IPv6 network 2a01:d0:801a::2/64
Enable daemon startup in /etc/default/saned
:
RUN=yes
On the client end, the hostname/IP of the server should be added to /etc/sane.d/net.conf
Due to bug 773617 the saned user is not added to scanner group, fix this with
sudo gpasswd -a saned scanner
And then restart the saned
service.
To test whether client can see the saned server, run
$ scanimage -L device `net:example.net:xerox_mfp:libusb:001:005' is a SAMSUNG ORION multi-function peripheral
If the client crashes and you haven’t rebooted after you installed sane-utils, unplug/plug in the device for udev rules to be reapplied.
