Let me start by saying that I’m not fluent in English and am relying on a machine translator here. As mentioned in other forum posts, getting CUPS to run as a Docker container on TrueNAS seems to be a rare stroke of luck. Unfortunately, selecting “German” in the web GUI isn’t much help either. The w…

ok i literally just took a swing at it and got it running on my first try. [image] i used this yaml and the custom app yaml funkton: version: "3" services: cups: image: anujdatar/cups container_name: cups restart: unless-stopped ports: - "631:631" …

Okay, thank you. That’s a very clear guide! Thanks! One more question: what else do I need to do to get a network printer recognized? CUPS should act as a print spoiler until the printer is turned on. Currently, I can start the CUPS web console as you described, but it doesn’t find the IPP print…
