Installing a Network Printer
1. Click Administration tab > Add Printer to open the Add Printer wizard.
2. Select the printer option you want from the Discovered Network Printers or Other
Network Printers lists and follow the Add Printer wizard using the following guidelines:
•AppSocket/HP JetDirect - Use this option for a printer connected directly to the
network instead of through a computer.
•Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) - Use this option for a printer attached to a
different Linux system on the same network running CUPS or a printer configured
on another operating system to use IPP (http printing).
•Internet Printing Protocol (HTTP) - Use this option for a printer attached to a
different Linux system on the same network running CUPS or a printer configured
on another operating system to use HTTP (ipp printing).
•LPD/LPR Host or Printer - Use this option for a printer attached to a different UNIX
system that can be accessed over a TCP/IP network (for example, a printer
attached to another Linux system on your network) or a thin client used as an LPD
(Line Printer Daemon) server for LPD printing requests from the network. You can
enter the DNS or WINS name of the server for the network printer, or an IP address
can also be entered. Note that if the printer is attached to another thin client on your
network, the entry in the Host box is the name or address of that thin client.
