Book I Chapter 3 Troubleshooting and Configuring Linux Setting Up Printers 85 Networked Windows (SMB): Refers to a printer connected to another PC on the local network that uses the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, the underlying protocol in Windows file and print sharing. Networked Novell (NCP): Refers to a printer connected to a Novell Netware server on the local network. Networked JetDirect: Refers to a HP JetDirect printer connected directly to the local network. 6. If you select Locally-connected, the next screen displays information about the detected parallel port; click Forward to continue. For other options, you get a screen that prompts you to identify the network printer. The way you specify a network printer depends on the network type. For example, to use a networked CUPS printer on a host with the IP address 192.168.0.8 on your local area network, you have to type a name such as http://192.168.0.8:631/printers/HPLaserjetRoom210 where HPLaserjetRoom210 is the name of the networked printer. 7. Select the make and model of your printer, and then click Forward. Click the drop-down list (above the scrolling list) to display a list of printer manufacturers. When you choose a printer manufacturer from this list, the scrolling list displays the names of different printer models from that manufacturer. If you have a PostScript printer, you can simply go to the Generic list (Generic is one of the choices in the manufacturer list) and select PostScript printer. The last screen shows information about the new print queue. 8. Review all information to make sure it s correct, and then click Finish to create the print queue. 9. When a dialog box appears, asking whether you want to print a test page, click Yes. Doing so applies all changes and restarts the print-scheduler program that takes care of printing. The printer now prints a test page, after which a message box appears and asks you to check the test page. 10. Click OK to dismiss the message box. The new print queue appears in the printer configuration window, and you can submit print jobs to this queue. 11. Quit the printer configuration tool. You can do so by choosing Action.Quit, or by closing the printer configuration window (click the X button in the upper-right corner of the window s frame). You are prompted to save the printer information.
