## Description
|
|
|
|
Creates a print server named "sys-print" and a named disposable
|
|
"disp-sys-print" qube for sending files to your configured printer, which can
|
|
be done over the network or with IPP-over-USB.
|
|
|
|
## Security
|
|
|
|
The client does not have CUPS, does not need internet connection and does not
|
|
have USB devices connected.
|
|
|
|
Using CUPS in a dedicated qube reduces attack surface and has a better
|
|
usability as you only need to configure the printer in one qube and other
|
|
qubes will have access through Qrexec.
|
|
|
|
If the devices connected to the server qube can attack the CUPS server, it can
|
|
escalate the attack to the client qube. Usage of disposables servers does not
|
|
prevent this from happening, it just avoids persistent infection on the
|
|
server, where you could attribute different printers to different levels of
|
|
trust.
|
|
|
|
Sending files to the print server with `qvm-copy` is always safer than
|
|
allowing a direct connection from the qube that wants to print files to the
|
|
qube that has access to the printer.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
* Top:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo qubesctl top.enable sys-print
|
|
sudo qubesctl --targets=tpl-sys-print state.apply
|
|
sudo qubesctl top.disable sys-print
|
|
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-print.appmenus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* State:
|
|
|
|
<!-- pkg:begin:post-install -->
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-print.create
|
|
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-sys-print state.apply sys-print.install
|
|
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-print.appmenus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<!-- pkg:end:post-install -->
|
|
|
|
If you want to install all printer drivers:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-sys-print state.apply sys-print.install-driver-all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On the client template:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=TEMPLATE state.apply sys-print.install-client
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The client qube requires the split Print service to be enabled:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
qvm-features QUBE service.print-client 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Access Control
|
|
|
|
**_Default policy_** (qusal.Print RPC service):
|
|
|
|
* Clients with tag `print-client` are `allowed` to call servers with tag
|
|
`print-server`, defaulting to `sys-print`.
|
|
* `All` clients can `ask` servers with tag `print-server`, defaulting to
|
|
`sys-print`.
|
|
|
|
`Asking` can spawn multiple requests depending on the client, usage of `allow`
|
|
is recommended for trusted clients.
|
|
|
|
Add the tag `print-client` to the qube requesting the print content:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
qvm-tags QUBE add print-client
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As the call will default to `sys-print`, you can enforce the use of
|
|
`disp-sys-print` via policy and not any other qube:
|
|
|
|
```qrexecpolicy
|
|
qusal.Print * @tag:print-client @default allow target=disp-sys-print
|
|
qusal.Print * @tag:print-client @anyvm deny
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Add a printer
|
|
|
|
You will configure your printer from `sys-print` or `disp-sys-print`, it can
|
|
connect over the network or USB. If you do not want to save printing
|
|
configuration, use `disp-sys-print`.
|
|
|
|
On `sys-print` or `disp-sys-print`, add your printer:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
system-config-printer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Print
|
|
|
|
On the client, select the file to print, open it with an editor, viewer or
|
|
browser and target the desired printer.
