5. Advanced Printer Configuration
This chapter describes some advanced printer configuration
procedures for the VGA Printer device. In most cases, you would
only need the information in this chapter if the VGA Printer
device cannot find and configure a printer automatically.
The VGA Printer device uses the Common UNIX Printing System
(CUPS) to communicate with locally connected and network
printers. This chapter describes some basic procedures for using
the VGA Printer CUPS implementation. For more information
about CUPS, see http://www.cups.org .
This chapter contains the following sections:

Adding a Printer That the VGA Printer
Device Cannot Find Automatically
The VGA Printer device can usually automatically find any
printer that is turned on and either directly connected to the VGA
Printer device or connected to the same network as the VGA
Printer device. However, if the VGA Printer device can’t find a
printer that you want to add, you can use the procedures in this
section to add and configure the printer manually.
You can also use these procedures if you want to add a printer
that is not currently connected to the to the VGA Printer device or
the network. For example, if you are moving the VGA Printer
device to a new location or network, you can add a printer that is
at the new location before you move the device.
