UNIX/Linux

Note: If your drivers CD does not contain any UNIX/Linux printer driver packages, contact the place you purchased your printer to see if your printer is supported.

Local printing is supported on many UNIX and Linux platforms, such as Sun Solaris and Red Hat.

Some printer driver packages are available on the drivers CD. The User’s Guide in each package gives detailed instructions for installing and using printers in UNIX and Linux environments.

All the printer driver packages support local printing using a parallel connection. The driver package for Sun Solaris supports USB connections to Sun Ray appliances and Sun workstations.

After you have installed the drivers on your computer, you are ready to set up the printer. Go to “Unpack the printer” on page 9.
