Use the modules of this category to create and
administer virtual machines. This option is available only if
the Xen Virtual Machine Host Server pattern is installed.

Managing Printers

Printers can either be connected to your system locally or
accessed over a network. To use a local printer, make sure
that it is connected to your machine. Shut down the system
before connecting a non-USB printer to your system.
You can configure printers with YaST. Start YaST, then click
Hardware → Printer to open the main printer configuration
window. Depending on the network environment or your
local printer model, YaST might be able to configure the
printer automatically. If autodetection of printing devices
fails, click Add in the Printer Configuration dialog to start
the manual configuration workflow. Follow the instructions
in the YaST online help. If you are not sure which option
to choose and which information to enter, ask your system
administrator.
After configuring a printing device correctly, you can ad-
dress it from any application.
SUSE Linux Enterprise also includes iPrint, which lets mobile
employees, business partners, and customers access printers
from a variety of remote locations using existing Internet
connections. Whether users are working in an office build-
ing, telecommuting from home, or attending a sales meeting
in another country, iPrint ensures that they can print docu-
ments quickly, easily, and reliably. To install the iPrint Client,
see Installing the iPrint Linux Client [http://www.novell
.com/documentation/sled10/iprint/data/
bwajcld.html] in the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop iPrint
Client User Guide.
You can also use the GNOME Control Center to monitor
and manage your print jobs. Click Computer → Control
Center → Printers. Administrator (or root) permission is
required.
