Printing on Puredyne is very standard. - install cups via the package manager (aptitude, synaptic, apt,...) if not already present (cups is the program that manage printing jobs and your printers) - check on http://www.openprinting.org/printers/ if your printer requires a specific driver - check if this driver is already listed in the package manager, otherwise download it following the links from linuxprinting. - open you fav browser and points to http://localhost:631 If everything is fine you should see the web interface of cups (please note that chromium seems to have some issues with the new cups interface) - choose add printer and you will be asked for your username and password. - then follow the different setup steps, depending on your printer, the driver will be already in the list or you will have to provide a "PPD" file for it (it should be self-explanatory when you go through the add printer wizard). a. -- http://su.kuri.mu --- [email protected] http://identi.ca/group/puredyne irc://irc.goto10.org/puredyne
