Hey Folks!
I am very happy i found the Volumio project, it is really a nice piece of Software. But i think the Pi where it is running on can probably do a bit more, so i want to use it was well as a printing server for the local network. However with my basic linux skills i am unsure how hard this will be.
In this forum i found some infos on the linux distro behind Volumio but i am still unsure if the core system is enough for what is needed, even the ‘man’ command is not avaliable…
So as a question for the more linux skilled people around here, do you think this can be done or is it probably a better idea to set up volumio on a “more complete” distro like here ? -> http://volumio.org/forum/volumio-on-a-custom-os-t535.html
Searching a bit for print server setup the packages you need are as far as i can tell are things like
cups cups-pdf cups-driver-gutenprint hplip pycups python2 python-cups ...
I am interested about your comments!
Cheers
Jake
