The KDE system on Kubuntu uses network discovery to find the available printers. This means, users do not need to manually add printers. This is done in 2 steps.
Step 1:
At the KMenu choose Applications ->System ->Printer Configuration.
Step 2:
Choose Server settings and check the "Show printers shared by other systems". Press "Apply".
Users need to wait for about a min for the first time discovery of the printers. Press Ok and test the printings.
Hi
ReplyDeleteGreat tip for helping newbies at Linux like me. This is the first time I ever used Kubuntu Jaunty Jackalope and it is so much different than my old Windows XP computer and even better.
Setting up my printer became so easy after I read your help page.
Great article. It is such a joy to be online without having to worry if my computer is protected. I personally switched to Linux because it is far less hassle and more to enjoy!
