Install CUPS and CUPS-LPD on a RaspberryPI for Amiga Printing

First Install Cups

sudo apt install cups
:: Setup cups - Remote-Access
sudo cupsctl --remote-any
:: Setup cups - Share Printers and Remote Admin
sudo cupsctl --share-printers --remote-admin
:: Restart Cups for changes to take effect
sudo systemctl restart cups
:: Grant PI User access to CUPS Admin
sudo usermod -a -G lpadmin pi
:: Install xinetd
sudo apt-get install -y xinetd
:: Edit cups-lpd file
sudo nano /etc/xinetd.d/cups-lpd
:: Enter this text for that file
service printer
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = lp
server = /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
server_args = -o document-format=application/octet-stream -o job-sheets=non$
disable = no
}
:: Restart xinetd
Sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart

:: Setup your Printer in CUPS admin page – make sure it works by printing a test page in Cups
:: Restart the Raspberry PI
:: Setup the NetPrinter on the Amiga https://aminet.net/package/comm/tcp/NetPrinter
Make sure PostScript is selected om the Printer Prefs
Make sure to turn colour on with the PrinterPS Prefs
Try printing a picture
On the PI you can monitor the incoming job log with
grep -rn “cups-lpd” /var/log/
Release the job to the printer in CUPS Webpage as it will be held

ACA1231 on OS3.1.4.1

After installing Amiga OS3.1.4.1, I’ve noticed that the 68030.library and MMU support with ACATune does not work correctly on my older ACA Card.

Running ACATune -status shows that the ACA1231-41Mhz card is being detected as a ACA1230-28Mhz card with not features enabled.

To fix this problem please follow the guide below

1 : To check if you have a problem with your ACA Accelerator card, Open up a Shell and type acatune -status

I have a ACA1231 but in ACATune it’s coming up as a ACA1230 with the wrong clock speed and also no features enabled.

2: Download the latest version of Mu680x0Libs – http://aminet.net/package/util/sys/Mu680x0Libs and extract to a folder, In there run the Install in the Install folder – I picked Novice Level and let it install where it wanted

3: Once installed, Copy the ACAInit file from the Mu680x80Libs/Libs/MMU folder to your Libs:MMU

4: Now edit the file ENVARC:MMU-Configuration and add ACAInit to the line before ;that’s all folks!

5: Turn the Amiga off and wait a few seconds, then back on. Once it’s booted try ACATune -status to make sure it’s working OK
