You would have to install cloudflared on a computer running at the same location as the printer and set it up so it has a mapping to the IP and port of the printer.
CUPS supports most network printers using one of three TCP/IP-based protocols: AppSocket, Internet Printing Protocol, and Line Printer Daemon. The following sections describe the options for each of the backends.
Any recent version of Windows will let you use the Internet Printing Protocol. You just need to open a hole in the firewall for the port. After that it is pretty easy to send print jobs through the internet. I would recommend using a VPN for securing the connection. This depends a lot on the connectivity between your house and office.
In one of our previous tutorial, we discussed about how to add new printer, change the printer settings, and manipulate print queues using 12 examples of lpadmin command on Linux. In this quick tutorial, we’ll show you how you can allow web UI access for an existing CUPS installation.
Under Debian Buster, I am looking for a solution to print with CUPS but without having to provide the password each time. Under Windows, I just had to enter the credentials for the desired printer port and when printing it no longer asked for a password.
You can use both network printers and printers that are directly attached to the CUPS host, for example over USB. You can add printers by using the CUPS driverless feature or by using a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file.
Cups printing over the internet via ddns is a thing or not? I recently installed cups and sane on my media server (an old desktop), it works fine, but I wanted to print with my phone, and since my router sucks, the WiFi connection isn't great.
CUPS can be configured to run without a local spooler and send all jobs to a single server. However, if that server goes down then all printing will be disabled. Use this configuration only as absolutely necessary. The default server is normally the local system ("localhost").
If your clients require access to printers without interruption, you can set up CUPS on multiple hosts and use the print queue browsing feature to provide high availability.
