Adding Printers in UNIX/Linux
Print Tools
For printer configuration, printtool and printconfig are the most common. How
they are invoked depends on which distribution and window manager you use.
AIX
SMIT is the recommended printing tool. It contains an integrated printer driver
list, but does not have printer detection functionality.
Instructions:
Type the command
smit
in a Terminal window, then click
Print Spooling.
Debian
printtool is the recommended printing tool. The program contains an integrated
printer driver list, but does not have printer detection functionality.
Instructions:
Type the command
printtool
in a Terminal window to start the graphical
version.
HP UX
Sam is the recommended printing tool. It doesn’t provide an integrated printer
driver list, nor printer detection functionality.
Instructions:
Type the command
sam
in a Terminal window, click
Printers and Plotters and
then click
Actions and Add_Remote Printer/Plotter.
Mandrake
printerdrake is the recommended printing tool. It contains an integrated printer
driver list, but does not have printer detection ability.
Red Hat
printconf is the recommended printing tool. The program contains an
integrated printer driver list, but does not have printer detection functionality.
Instructions:
Type the command
printconf-gui
in a Terminal window to start the
graphical version.
You can also run printconf as a text-based application if you do not have the X
Window System installed, or if you prefer the text-based interface. Log in as
root (or use the command
su
to temporarily change to the root user), and type
the command
/usr/sbin/printconf-tui
from a shell prompt.
