976That should be it. Nothing else will be needed. Just point your web

1002If you use only one printer, it will be your default printer. If your print
1003server manages several printers, your administrator will have defined a default
1004printer on the server. If you want to define a different default printer for

990<p>
991In order to setup a default printer, you have to edit
992<path>/etc/cups/client.conf</path> and set the directive
993<c>ServerName</c> to your printserver. In the case of this guide that
994would be the following example.
995</p>
996
997<pre caption="/etc/cups/client.conf">
998ServerName PrintServer
999</pre>
1000
1001<p>
1002The following will print <path>foorbar.whatever.ps</path> directly to the print
1003server.

1010<p>
1011Some common observations when setting a default printer in this manner
1012include the following:
1013</p> 1025<p>
1014 1026Just point your web browser to <c>http://printserver:631</c> on the client if
1015<ul> 1027you want to manage your printers and their jobs with a nice web interface.
1016 <li> 1028Replace <c>printserver</c> with the name of the <e>machine</e> that acts as
1017 Setting the <c>ServerName</c> in <path>client.conf</path> seems to 1029your print server, not the name you gave to the cups print server if you used
1018 work well for only one printer, there may be yet another way to 1030different names.
1019 set a client's default remote printer. 1031</p>
1020 </li>
1021 <li>
1022 Also, when accessing <c>http://localhost:631</c> on the client
1023 now, no printers seem to be "found" by the client-CUPS. This is to
1024 be expected when setting <c>ServerName</c> in
1025 <path>client.conf</path>.
