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 Desktop: 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 19, 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.
To set up a printer in KDE, start the Printing Manager from the main menu (Tools →
Printing → Printing Manager). Alternatively, press
+
and enter kcontrol.
