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.
