How can I enable CUPS-LPD on Server 16.04 LTS?



I've looked at the answer to this Ask Ubuntu question Ubuntu 16.04 systemd vs. cups-lpd and it wasn't helpful.

  • I did not understand how to use it. I am familiar with systemd through systemctl but I am unfamiliar with creating or adding new services to it, manually. The answer I referred to gave me the pieces but not the solution to the puzzle. I was hoping to get detailed instructions. For legacy reasons I need the LPD service.

So I got cups-lpd to work. Here's how:





  1. I created two files:



    cups-lpd.socket



    [Unit]
    Description=CUPS LPD Server Socket
    PartOf=cups-lpd.service

    [Socket]
    ListenStream=515
    Accept=true

    [Install]
    WantedBy=sockets.target


    cups-lpd@.service



    [Unit]
    Description=CUPS LPD server
    Documentation=man:cups-lpd(8)

    [Service]
    ExecStart=/usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
    StandardInput=socket

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target


  2. I copied both files to /lib/systemd/system/


  3. I ran this command: sudo systemctl start cups-lpd.socket, and sudo systemctl enable cups-lpd.socket to enable it on boot
