Typical Invocation from a Terminal Window

Still using Mandrake as an example, open a Terminal Window and type the command printtool. If you are in a terminal window, the graphic version will start (as described above). If you do not have the X Window System installed, the command will start a text based version. The same information as was described above will be needed.

Note: In Mandrake, even if you type printtool at a shell prompt, printerdrake will automatically start.
