Changing the Printer Connection Method

If you change the printer connection method from USB to parallel or vice versa while in use, you must re-configure your Linux printer by adding the printer to your system. Take the following steps:

1Make sure that you connect the printer to your computer. Turn both the computer and the printer on.

2When the Administrator Login window appears, type in “root” in the Login field and enter the system password.

NOTE: You must log in as a super user (root) to install a new printer to the printing system. If you are not the super user, ask your system administrator.

3From the Startup Menu icon at the bottom of the desktop, select Linux Printer and then Configuration Tool.

You can also access the Linux Printer Configuration window by typing “linux-config” in the Terminal screen.

4When the Linux Printer Configuration window appears, click the Add Printer icon on the tool bar at the top of the window.

5Click the Connection tab at the top of the Add a Printer window.

Ensure that the printer port is set properly. If not, change the device setting.

6Click OK.
