Windows driver – IJ Network tool does allow you to input IP address eventually (Mac version does not). Conveniently our print server was on the same subnet as the printer, so it found it straight away. Driver can be installed on Server 2012 and shared, but cannot be shared as a LPD queue (as Canon don’t use a standard IP port).
Printer does function as an IPP printer, and LPD (if enabled).

This can also lead to long pauses while trying to open the printer properties, as it presumably times out while trying to retrieve the data. On the Device Settings tab, click Device Type: Auto Detect to display the drop-down list and then select Color (and also check the duplex setting).

This can be done with Disk Utility – as you are cloning the boot drive you need to run this in recovery mode (boot holding cmd – r). Presumably booting from a usb stick would work as well.
Once in disk utility choose the external drive, select Restore and choose to restore from the Macintosh HD. At this point we ran into an issue:

Server – Debian 9 Stretch, normal command-line only install. Set up system to use email server (campus smarthost in our case).
Install SVN and Apache and set up accordingly.
Install Jekyll:
apt install jekyll
Create an SVN repository for the site files.
Create new project directories at a temporary location, e.g.
Read more...In Debian 9 Stretch Apache is configured to use the systemd PrivateTmp feature by default. This means that the Apache tmp directory actually lives in /tmp/systemd-private-BIGLONGSTRING--apache2.service-STRING.
So if you are running an SVN server that uses Apache for serving, anything written to /tmp in the hook scripts ends up in the private directory rather than the normal userspace one.
