Adding Printers in UNIX/Linux

SuSE 8.0

The printing system on SuSE Linux is based on an apsfilter, with some enhancements; SuSE's apsfilter will recognize all common file formats (including HTML, if html2ps is installed).

There are two ways to setup printers on SuSE systems:

•YaST2 will let you configure "PostScript", "DeskJet" and "Other printers", supported by Ghostscript drivers; it's also possible to setup HP's GDI printers (DeskJet 710/720, 820, 1000, via the "ppa" package). YaST2 will provide /etc/printcap entries for every printer ("raw", "ascii", "auto" and "color", if the printer to configure is a color printer). YaST2 will create spool directories and it will arrange apsfilterrc files, where you're able to fine tune some settings (Ghostscript preloads, paper size, paper orientation, resolution, printer escape sequences, etc.). With YaST2 it's also possible to setup network printers (TCP/IP, Samba, or Novell NetWare Printer).

•SuSE includes the regular SETUP program from the original apsfilter package (with some enhancements); run lprsetup to invoke this configuration script. Once you get accustomed to its GUI, you'll be able to configure local and network printers.

Invocation of YaST2 On the Gnome desktop select YaST2 Menu Button (on the panel) => Yast Control Center => Hardware => Edit Printers to start the Printer Configuration tool. On the KDE desktop select YaST Menu Button (on the panel) => Yast2 modules => Hardware => Edit printers to start the graphic version.

Print Queues SuSE and YaST2 differ between these printer connections:

•Local printers (Parallel, Serial and Disk File)

•LPD protocol network printing (Forward queue to a remote LPD and Prefiltered queue for an LPD forwarding queue)

•Other network printing (Samba/Windows, Novell)

The SuSE installation manual explains the setup procedures in detail.
