CUPS Server

Setup

CUPS container

In a brand new environment when you do docker-compose up you get cups-server service automatically.

In an existing environment just do docker-compose up -d cups-server.

Odoo container

If your project relies on CUPS and base_report_to_printer then you should already have this. In any case, make sure you have these requirements in place:

  • install cups and libcups2-dev in odoo/Dockerfile
  • /odoo/external-src/report-print-send in ADDONS_PATH
  • [email protected]:OCA/report-print-send.git checked out in the path above

CUPS Configuration

Go to http://localhost:6631 and type credentials admin / secr3t.

Then you have to configure a printer:

  1. Go to Administration -> Printers -> click on Add printer

.. image:: ./images/cups_administration.png

  1. Select CUPS-PDF and continue

.. image:: ./images/cups_add_printer1.png

  1. Leave printer info as it is and make sure to enable Share This Printer

.. image:: ./images/cups_add_printer2.png

  1. Select generic and continue

.. image:: ./images/cups_set_printer_type1.png

  1. Select Generic CUPS-PDF Printer (en) and continue

.. image:: ./images/cups_set_printer_type2.png

  1. Set default size to A4 and click on Set Default Options

.. image:: ./images/cups_set_printer_options.png

Now you can go to Printers and see your brand new printer.

Odoo Configuration

The final step is to tell Odoo about your printer:

  1. Go to Settings -> Printers -> Create
  2. Give it a name and set server as cups-server, default port 631 is ok
  3. Save and click on Update printers -> your PDF printer should show up

.. image:: ./images/odoo_printer.png

Your are done now. Every printed document will land into /tmp/cups-pdf folder.
