3 years ago I would respectfully disagree that cups needs to be baked in, since it is strictly an optional app which has not received development support since version 20. Currently unsupported in 21+ afaik.
Good news: Docker containers allow you to setup cups yourself and link to the container / volumes as needed. See docker documentation or Nextcloud Printer app docker setup documentation for details.
How to setup cups in Nextcloud would be a question for that app or the forum at https://help.nextcloud.com :+1:
Description
Since NC has a (very basic) Printer app, I think it would benefit NCP as a whole (in your docker image especially) to include cups and its dependencies in your image. I'm still trying to figure out how to print my files from NC/NCP itself without any success :( Does anybody know how?
The Printer app: https://github.com/e-alfred/nextcloud-printer/
Example
There's the NCP button/link at the top, and include cups web ui link as well to configure cups server to add your printer. There's also a printer option at the sidebar to add/configure whatever's necessary for the Printer app to work.
Keep up the good work! Cheers!
