Managing Printers
SUSE Linux Enterprise makes it easy to print your documents, whether your computer
is connected directly to a printer or linked remotely on a network. This chapter describes
how to set up printers in SLED and manage print jobs.
10.1 Installing a Printer
Before you can install a printer, you need to know the root password and have your
printer information ready. Depending on how you connect to the printer, you might also
need the printer URI, TCP/IP address or host, and the driver for the printer. A number
of common printer drivers ship with SLED. If you cannot find a driver for the printer,
check the printer manufacturer's Web site.
10.1.1 Installing a Network Printer
1 Click Computer > Control Center > Add Printer > New Printer.
2 Enter the root password.
3 Click Network Printer, then select the type of connection for this printer.
CUPS Printer (IPP)
