The CUPS commands introduced in this chapter work identically on both Fedora 20 and Ubuntu Server 14.04 systems. Since remote administration of the CUPS Web administration tool is disabled by default and Ubuntu Server 14.04 does not contain a GUI environment that allows you to access a Web browser and the CUPS Web administration tool, you must manually enable remote administration within the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file. On your Ubuntu Server Linux virtual machine, edit the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file and change the line that reads Listen localhost:631 to Port 631 as well as add three Allow from all lines within the access sections, as shown here: # Restrict access to the server

Order allow,deny Allow from all # Restrict access to the admin pages

Order allow,deny Allow from all # Restrict access to configuration files AuthType Default Require user @SYSTEM Order allow,deny Allow from all Next, save your changes, run the service cups restart command to restart the CUPS daemon, and run the ifconfig command to determine the IP address of your Ubuntu Server Linux virtual machine. Finally, access the CUPS administration Web site using the Web browser on your Windows host computer (URL: http://IP address:631).
