Running on Windows

Top  Previous  Next

You can use the CirrusPrint Manager application for any given installation, available as a desktop shortcut or the Start menu as "CirrusPrint 2.0 Server", to manage operation of the CirrusPrint server on Windows.

 

At the top of the manager window is a toolbar offering several options.  From left to right:

 

Start the server running
Stop the server
Install the server as a service
Uninstall it as a service
Access the browser interface
View the manual

 

 

Different options may be available at different times.  For example, if the server is not running, the stop and browser access buttons are disabled.

 

There are three tabs available with varying information.

 

Status
Configure Ports
Activation

 

Most configuration is performed via the browser interface.

 

Command Line Options

The CirrusPrint server can be started and stopped from the command line, if you are logged in as an Administrator.

 

 cp20s -start        Starts the server

 cp20s -stop        Stops the server

 cp20s -restart        Stops, then restarts the server

 

Once running, CirrusPrint will listen for location connections from browsers and system clients.

 

The default port for connections is 8482, so from a browser, use a URL like http://192.168.1.10:8482 in your browser.  If the configuration indicates the browser interface is secure, use "https" rather than "http" in the URL.  The secure setting is defined in the [server] section of config.ini.
