OP Cloud Connector

If more than one Print Server is available on your network and some computers need to be able to print to more than one Print Server, you will need to install the OP Cloud Connector software on your next print servers. OP can then be configured to select different print servers on your network to control specific print jobs.

 

Windows Setup

Install OP Cloud Connector and configure it for a specific print server:
1. Download and run the latest OP Cloud Connector from https://opcloud.fitosoft.com/#download
2. Follow the installation instructions that appear on the screen
3. The OP Cloud Connector will be installed on your computer

Type the OP administrator name and password or enter OP Cloud Access ID:

Select OP Server from the list:

 

Linux Setup

Installation:

1. Download OP Cloud Connector from: https://opcloud.fitosoft.com/#download

2. Extract archive
$ tar -zxf op_cloud_connector.tar.gz

3. Open op_cloud_connector directory:
$ cd op_cloud_connector

4. Run install script
$ sudo ./install.sh

Configure OP Cloud Connector for a specific print server:

OP - Tracks and controls printing activity - https://opcloud.fitosoft.com
OP Connector's Access Keys ID on https://opcloud.fitosoft.com/users/servers.html
Enter existing OP Connector's Access Key ID: 111-2222-33333-44444-555555
Enable tracing to /etc/cups/op_trace.txt (0 - off, 1 - on) [0]: 0
Enable printing if exception occurred (0 - off, 1 - on) [1]: 1
Prepend each DeviceURI value for all printers with 'tea4cups://') [Y]: Y

Either from CUPS' web interface, prepend Device URI  for printer with 'tea4cups://'.

Or by directly modifying CUPS' printers.conf file, or with the lpadmin command line tool, just prepend each DeviceURI value with 'tea4cups://'. If you modified printers.conf directly instead of using lpadmin then don't forget to restart CUPS.

 

To remove 'tea4cups://' for all printers launch remove_tea4cups.py

Troubleshooting:

1 - Set "trace = 1" in the [global] section of /etc/cups/op-desktop-connector.conf
2 - Print something to a print queue managed by Tea4CUPS.
3 - Look at /etc/cups/op_trace.txt file for diagnostic and error messages.
