2 Managing Printers; Installing A Printer - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP 10 SP2 - KDE 08-05-2008 Manual

Managing Printers
Printers can either be connected to your system locally or accessed over a network.
There are several ways to set up a printer in SUSE Linux Enterprise®: with YaST, with
the KDE Printing Manager, or on the command line. This chapter describes how to set
up printers with the KDE Printing Manager. After configuring the printer correctly,
you can address it from any application.
For information about how to manage printers with iPrint® refer to the iPrint User
Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation/sled10/.
NOTE: Troubleshooting
If you have problems configuring your printer, ask your system administrator.
An in-depth coverage of printer configuration for administrators can be found
in Chapter 20, Printer Operation (↑Deployment Guide).

12.1 Installing a Printer

Before you can install a printer, you need to have the root password and your printer
information ready. Depending on how you connect to the printer, you might 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.
