- Troubleshoot complex printing issues across Linux-based systems, including driver compatibility, network connectivity,



and print spooling failures.
- Implement monitoring and alerting solutions to proactively detect and resolve print system anomalies.
- Automate printer provisioning, firmware updates, and configuration backups using scripting (Bash, Python) and configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Puppet).
- Ensure print workflows comply with enterprise security, audit, and operational standards.
- Provide technical leadership and training to internal teams on print system usage and best practices.
- Collaborate with vendors and cross-functional teams to evaluate new hardware/software solutions and drive innovation in print operations.

Required Qualifications:

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- 5+ years of hands-on experience with CUPS in production Linux environments.
- Proven experience managing industrial label printers (Zebra, Intermec, Honeywell, etc.) in high-volume, 24/7 operations.
- Deep knowledge of Linux system administration, networking (TCP/IP, DNS, firewall), and print protocols (IPP, LPD, SMB).
- Proficiency in scripting (Bash, Python) and automation tools (Ansible, SaltStack, etc.).
- Experience with printer drivers, PPD files, and custom backend development for CUPS.
- Strong problem-solving skills with a track record of resolving complex, time-sensitive printing outages.
