![]() ![]() This will take a few minutes as it downloads and installs many packages. Just type in y and press enter to let it continue. This will generate a list of packages to install and will then request approval before continuing. To do this, we type in sudo apt-get upgrade. Now we need to upgrade the packages installed on the Pi using the new repository information we’ve just downloaded. If you get this error just type in sudo apt-get update again. Naturally, this doesn’t quite work as expected, ending with an error requesting another package update. To update the repositories, we type in the command sudo apt-get update. Before we do this, we should update the package repositories as well as update all packages on the Raspberry Pi. We now have to install a whole bunch of packages including CUPS and Avahi. To begin, let’s login to the pi which uses the username pi and password raspberry. I’d like to thank Ryan Finnie for his research into setting up AirPrint on Linux and TJFontaine for his AirPrint Generation Python Script.įor the purpose of this tutorial, I used PuTTY to remotely SSH into my Raspberry Pi from my Windows 7 running Desktop PC. Last week, I put up a video demonstrating it, and today, I bring you the long-promised tutorial so that you can set it up yourself. I used my network laser printer for this, but there is no reason why you couldn’t use a hardwired printer (over USB) on the Pi itself. This allows Apple’s iOS line of devices to print to the Raspberry Pi which then turns around and prints to your regular printer via CUPS. When I first heard of the Pi, I was excited because I wanted it to become an AirPrint Server. ![]() ![]() As a $35 pc with very low power requirements, the Raspberry Pi is uniquely suited to serve many different purposes especially as an always-on low power server. ![]()
