The next time you run the Printer module, YaST should successfully rebuild the database,
and you??™ll be back in business.
3. If YaST finds no active printers, it will display the basically blank screen you see in
Figure 7.1. Click Add to start manual installation of a local printer.
4. The first step in adding a printer queue is identifying how your printer is connected
to your system. First identify whether this printer is directly connected to your
computer, or if it is on the network. For this exercise, we??™ll focus on connecting a
local printer. Older printers use the parallel port, and newer printers usually plug in
to your system via a USB port (see Figure 7.2) or perhaps a Bluetooth connection. If
you are trying to attach a network printer, you need to know the protocol the
printer uses: If it??™s on a Windows network, use the Samba (SMB) option; if it??™s on an
older Novell NetWare network or you otherwise need to use this protocol, choose
IPX. When you have selected the type, click Next.
5. This screen lets you test your connection before loading a driver.
