  • cupsctl WebInterface=yes
  • Hit return, and close terminal.
  • Now you can access the CUPS Interface by entering:  localhost:631  into your browser address bar

What customers say about our support...

The support team was very responsive and provided the information needed to address the issue.

Printer model: Rio Pro

Fixed and working well, would have been easier if could have paid by credit card

Printer model: Prima 4

In all fairness, as my question was the opposite of what MagiCard would like to achieve I wasn't really expecting a comprehensive answer. Even though I did not get a solution to my question, the answer was well formulated and even offered some alternatives inducing the effect the alternative would have to the print quality.

I appreciate the service I received during this support ticket. I appreciate being able to correspond via email and I appreciate being able to make contact with you fairly easily. It is very difficult to be able to make contact with people at many companies, but it was very easy to get in touch with you. I appreciate your support and service and am happy to leave a 5 star rating!
