If it is not detected, choose
the device to which the printer is connected (LPT #1 and Serial Port #1 are the first
parallel and serial ports, respectively) and click Forward. (Refer to the next procedure for
information on selecting remote printers.)
6. Either select to choose a print driver from the database (and select the manufacturer) or
select to Provide PPD File (and choose that driver). Click Forward to choose the specific
driver to use for your printer (you may have several choices).
If you have a printer that works in Windows, but doesn??™t work in Linux, refer back to
the disk (probably a CD) that was included with the printer. Choose Provide PPD File,
and then look for the PPD file on that disk to test that printer driver with Linux.
7. Click the model of your printer in the Models box, and then choose a driver for your printer.
If your printer doesn??™t appear on the list but supports PCL (HP??™s Printer Control Language),
try selecting one of the HP printers (such as HP LaserJet). If your printer supports
PostScript, select PostScript printer from the list. Selecting Raw Print Queue enables you to send
documents to the printer that are already formatted for that printer type.
8. Click the Printer, Driver, or PPD button. In many cases, you??™ll see good information from
the Linux Printing Database about how your printer is configured and how to tune it
further.
