CUPS Printing Backend
The NoMachine Node setup procedure could not detect your
CUPS installation: either CUPS is not installed on your
system or it was installed in a non-standard path. CUPS is
needed in order to enable printing support in your NX
system.
Please note that you can enable printing support for your
NX system at any time; to do this make sure that you have
CUPS installed then run:
/usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxnode --printingsetup
to specify the location of the CUPS root path.
