Line 33:

Discovery is done via the opened UDP port <code>5353</code>. Printers should get automatically detected and visible in your printer configuration client.

=== Enable auto-discovery of USB printers ===

Some printers can be automatically discovered with IPP-over-USB. To discover these printers as a locally accessible network printer/scanner, add the following to your system configuration:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">

services.ipp-usb.enable = true;

</syntaxhighlight>

=== Adding printers ===

Line 142:

Line 147:

The <code>model</code> string is the first column. For example, for the Samsung SCX-4300 series, set <syntaxhighlight inline lang="nix">model = "samsung/SCX-4300.ppd";</syntaxhighlight>.

=== Allowing printer administration for users ===

Users in '''wheel''' or '''lpadmin''' group can administer printers. This can be useful to allow non-admin users access to modify printers in their desktop environment settings. To allow user '''snowflake''' to administer printers you would doː<syntaxhighlight lang="nixos">

users.users.snowflake = {

isNormalUser = true;

extraGroups = [

"lpadmin"

];

...

};

</syntaxhighlight>

=== Printer sharing ===

Line 363:

Line 380:

'''Solution'''<br />

Use <syntaxhighlight inline lang="bash">NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix-shell -p hplipWithPlugin --run 'sudo -E hp-setup'</syntaxhighlight> to add the printer.

=== Setting up Brother HL-1212W laser printer over the network ===

Install the cups-brother-hl1210w package.

Enable auto discovery as [[Printing#Enable auto-discovery of network printers|above]]

Now you should be able to add the printer to your system. If asked to select make and model or PPD, use the PPD for the HL-1250 from https://www.openprinting.org/driver/hl1250
