Setting Up Printers in SUSE Linux Systems

A USB printer can be connected to the USB port of the

FRITZ!Box for use as a network printer. The printer is then

available to all computers connected with the FRITZ!Box.

Install the printer as "root" or "superuser".

Open a console and enter the following command:

lpadmin -p <printer_name> -E -v socket://<IP_address_

of_the_FRITZ!Box>:<port_number>

description_file.ppd>

For more information and instructions, go to the fol-

lowing web site:

For a laser jet printer with the example name of Laserjet4

and the PPD file laserjet.ppd at a FRITZ!Box with the default

address 192.168.178.1, on the console you must enter:

lpadmin -p Laserjet4 -E -v socket://192.168.178.1:9100 -m

laserjet.ppd

You can view the PPD files installed in the system with the

following command:

lpinfo -m

Please direct any questions about PPD files to the manufac-

turer of the printer or system used. More detailed informa-

tion on the CUPS printing software is included in the follow-

ing documentation:

Configuration questions should also be directed to the

manufacturer of the Linux distribution or to an Internet or

usenet forum that deals with CUPS or the distribution used.
