openSUSE® makes it easy to print your documents, whether your
computer is connected directly to a printer or linked remotely on a
network. This chapter describes how to set up printers in openSUSE
and manage print jobs.
</p><div class="sect1" title="7.1. Installing a Printer"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id406089"></a>7.1. Installing a Printer<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#id406089">¶</a></span></h2></div></div></div><p>
Before you can install a printer, you need to know the root password and
have your printer information ready. Depending on how you connect the
printer, you might also need the printer URI, TCP/IP address or host,
and the driver for the printer. A number of common printer drivers ship
with openSUSE. If you cannot find a driver for the printer, check
the printer manufacturer's Web site.
