Xandros:You had the option to add a printer with the First Run Wizardthe first time your system booted, though, of course, you can skip thiswith no problem. If you skipped printer setup, go to the main menu andchoose Control Center to open the Xandros/KDE Control Center. Clickthe plus sign next to Peripherals to expand this menu and then choosePrinters. Choose Add to open the Add Printer Wizard dialog box. In this section, I describe how to set up a printer only in Fedora due to spacerestrictions. Although each application is different, they all involve the samebasic steps for configuration, even though these steps may be in differentorders or worded a little bit differently. Follow these steps for Fedora (or ifyou re using another distribution, read through here and use what you learnto set up your printing through the appropriate tool): 1.To access the printing setup tool, from the main menu, chooseApplications.System Settings.Printing. The Printer Configuration window appears, as shown in Figure 7-3. If you re not logged in as root, you re prompted to enter the root password. 2.To begin setting up your printer, click the New button. The Add A New Print Queue window appears. Click the Forward buttonto advance to the next step. 3.In the Queue Name window, type the name you want to assign to thisparticular printer. If you have multiple printers, add something in the Short descriptiontext box to help you tell them apart later. 4.When finished, click the Forward button to advance to the next step. The Queue Type dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 7-4. Figure 7-3: The openingwindow ofthe PrinterConfigu- ration tool. 138Part I:Getting Your Feet Wet
