# chuckcharlie/cups-airprint-brother
|
|
|
|
Fork from [quadportnick/docker-cups-airprint](https://github.com/quadportnick/docker-cups-airprint)
|
|
|
|
This Ubuntu-based Docker image runs a CUPS instance that is meant as an AirPrint relay for printers that are already on the network but not AirPrint capable. I am running this on CentOS, but it should work on other Linux distros. I forked the original to add support for my Brother MFC-7840w printer, and use the latest Ubuntu base.

|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Volumes:
|
|
* `/config`: where the persistent printer configs will be stored
|
|
* `/services`: where the Avahi service files will be generated
|
|
|
|
### Variables:
|
|
* `CUPSADMIN`: the CUPS admin user you want created
|
|
* `CUPSPASSWORD`: the password for the CUPS admin user
|
|
|
|
### Ports:
|
|
* `631`: the TCP port for CUPS must be exposed
|
|
|
|
### Example run command:
|
|
```
|
|
docker run --name cups -p 631:631 --restart unless-stopped \
|
|
-v <your services dir>:/services \
|
|
-v <your config dir>:/config \
|
|
-v /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus \
|
|
-e CUPSADMIN="<username>" \
|
|
-e CUPSPASSWORD="<password>" \
|
|
chuckcharlie/cups-airprint-brother:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install Avahi on local host:
|
|
These commands only work on RedHat/CentOS/Fedora. Ubuntu will be different.
|
|
```
|
|
yum install avahi
|
|
systemctl start avahi-daemon
|
|
systemctl enable avahi-daemon
|
|
```
|
|
***This was the only way I was able to get /var/run/dbus to respond correctly in the container.***
|
|
|
|
## Add and set up printer:
|
|
CUPS will be configurable at http://[host ip]:631 using the CUPSADMIN/CUPSPASSWORD.
