printing

[Derick Centeno]

Before you boot into Linux make sure all the printers are connected 
properly and on.

Within the Gnome environment do the following:
Select the YDL symbol then look for System Settings, and select 
Printing.
A dialog box will appear asking you to enter your root password (if 
your Linux was set up well there should be a password for root which is 
different from any password assigned to any user -- even if you are the 
only user.).

After the above has been completed the Printer Configuration interface 
appears.  You will note various tabs which you can open and see what 
settings need to be changed or refined so that you can make the 
appropriate settings.  If you select the tab Queue type, you will 
notice a pop-up.  Click upon that pop-up which initially appears as 
local .... something or other, and you'll find other selections 
enabling to configure any networked printers according to their 
respective networking parameters/requirements.

That should be it.

Good luck...
