This topic assumes you are using one of the recommended distros or remasters.
Not all printers are compatible with Linux. To do a simple printer setup:
-attach the printer to the computer and turn it on
-click Menu>Setup>CUPS Printer Wizard
-click Manage printers and printing task button
-click the Printers tab in the dark menu bar
- cups.jpg (48.7 KiB) Viewed 428 times
-click your printer (the Canon in this example)
-click the Maintenance button
-click Print Test Page
If the page prints you are connected.
If your printer does not show, you may have to load a driver for it. Request assistance on the Puppy Linux Forum
