# Proposal
|
|
|
|
## Why
|
|
|
|
Provide a Podman container that runs CUPS and shares the Brother HL-4150CDN network printer as an AirPrint and IPP printer. Clients should be able to print without installing local printer drivers.
|
|
|
|
## What Changes
|
|
|
|
- Create a Containerfile for Podman (based on a Linux distro that supports CUPS and 32-bit binaries)
|
|
- Extract and install Brother driver files (from `assets/Brother HL-4150CDN/` - local .deb packages: `hl4150cdnlpr` and `hl4150cdncupswrapper`) needed for HL-4150CDN
|
|
- Configure CUPS to run in the container and share the network printer
|
|
- Enable mDNS/Avahi for AirPrint discovery
|
|
- Provide minimal runtime configuration (ports 631, 5353/udp) and documentation for running with podman
|
|
- Handle 32-bit dependencies required by Brother i386 binaries
|
|
|
|
## Capabilities
|
|
|
|
### New Capabilities
|
|
- `printserver/cups`: Containerized CUPS print server with AirPrint/IPP sharing and Brother HL-4150CDN driver support
|
|
|
|
### Modified Capabilities
|
|
None
|
|
|
|
## Impact
|
|
|
|
- New Containerfile (and possibly supporting files) in repository root
|
|
- Uses Brother driver artifacts in `assets/Brother HL-4150CDN/`
|
|
- Runtime ports: CUPS (631), mDNS (5353/udp) for AirPrint
|
|
- Depends on Avahi/DBus, CUPS, and 32-bit compatibility libs for Brother binaries
