CUPS Print Server

Hi,

Is it possible to install CUPS on Raspberry Pi 3 with LibreELEC to make my USB printer available over LAN, as I have with OSMC?

Thanks!

LibreELEC is a 'Just Enough' operating system with only the bare necessities for Kodi, where OSMC is a more full OS. LE also has no package manager like apt-get, so anything you would need needs compiling in your own LE builds.

Also, personally, I'd wouldn't have anything to do with printing while watching videos

I'd stick to OSMC for printing stuff if I were you.

You can do anything you like through the Docker addon.

Sorry, I forgot about that. You know, Monday mornings...
