73. Adding a Printer
Configuring a Local Printer
If the printer malfunctions when printing:
- churning out paper when a print job is sent to it
- printing garbage
- not working at all
Follow the Steps in the Next Slide
74. Configuring a Local Printer (When error exist)
1. Click System ➤ Administration ➤ Printing.
Click the New printer button.
2. In the New Printer dialog box, you need to select which printer to configure.
Click the printer you want to use, and then click the Forward button to continue.
You’ll see the message “Searching for Drivers.”
8. Select the printer manufacturer.
Alternatively, you can provide the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file if the built-in drivers
cannot operate your printer.
When you’ve finished, click Forward.
12. Ubuntu again selects the detected model and corresponding driver for your printer, but you can
change these selections. If you find the default driver simply doesn’t work correctly, try a similar
but different model. Select the appropriate model in the Model list in the left column, and then
select the appropriate driver for your printer from the Drivers list in the right column.
Click the Forward button to continue.
5. You’ll be invited to give the printer a name. The default should be OK. You can fill in the
Description and Location fields if you want, but these are necessary only if you intend to share
the printer across a network. Click Apply when you’ve finished.
75. Adding a Printer
Configuring a Network Printer
Before beginning:
find out the printer’s network address
the queue name or the port number
find out these details by speaking to your network administrator or
the person who configured the printer.
76. Steps to configure a network printer:
1. Click System ➤ Administration ➤ Printing. In the Printer Configuration window,
click the New Printer button.
2. In the Devices list of the New Printer dialog box, select the type of shared
printer you want to connect to. If you’re unsure of which to choose, try Internet
Printing Protocol (IPP). If you wish to connect to a Hewlett Packard (HP) printer
with an HP print server attached, select AppSocket/HP JetDirect.
3. Enter the network address of the printer.
Once you have the correct settings, click Forward.
4. As prompted, choose the printer manufacturer, printer model and driver, and
printer name, just as if you were configuring a local printer. See steps 3, 4, and
5 in the previous section for guidance. Click the Apply button after you’ve
made your selections.
5. When the printer is installed, select the printer from the list in the Printer
Configuration window, and then click Print Test Page.
77. Configuring a Sound Card
1. Right-click the volume control icon (the one that looks like a speaker), and
select Open Volume Control.
2. In the dialog box that appears, click Edit, and then click Preferences.
3. The Volume Control Preferences dialog box appears.
Select the sliders that you wish to be visible. For example, on a desktop
computer that has 5.1 surround sound, we were able to add a slider for the
center and back speakers. On a notebook that has a sound card featuring
pseudo-surround sound, we could add a control to alter the intensity of the
effect.
4. When you’ve finished, click the Close button. The new controls should then
be visible in the Volume Control window.
