Unpack the printer
UNIX/Linux
Local printing is supported on many UNIX and Linux platforms, such as Sun Solaris and
Red Hat.
Note: If your drivers CD does not
contain any UNIX/Linux printer driver
packages, contact the place you
purchased your printer to see if your
printer is supported.
Some printer driver packages are available on the drivers CD. The User’s Guide in each
package gives detailed instructions for installing and using printers in UNIX and Linux
environments.
All the printer driver packages support local printing using a parallel connection. The
driver package for Sun Solaris supports USB connections to Sun Ray appliances and
Sun workstations.
After you have installed the drivers on your computer, you are ready to set up the printer.
Go to “Unpack the printer” on page 9.
Step 3: Unpack the printer
Setting up a
multifunction printer
If you purchased a multifunction printer (MFP) that copies, faxes, and scans, refer to the
documentation that came with the device to see if furniture or other hardware needs to
be set up first.
