Books for you

Figure 7.3 shows
the parallel printer test screen. Your screen may differ slightly, depending on your
printer type. Make sure your printer is on before testing the connection. When you
click Test Printer Connection, YaST sends a message (???Hello World???) to the printer.
Depending on your printer, it should light up, print the message, or just send a
form feed (that is, move the paper down). If it does, click Next.
Configuring Printers with YaST 125
7
FIGURE 7.1 If YaST cannot detect your printer, it displays this empty screen. You can then
manually configure your printer.
CHAPTER 7 Printing with openSUSE 126
FIGURE 7.2 You should know how your printer is connected to your system: parallel port or
USB for most local connections, or the protocol your network printer uses.
6. In this screen, shown in Figure 7.4, you name the printer (actually, the print queue).
The first field, Name for Printing, is how the machine identifies the printer. By
default, YaST assigns the name ???printer,??? but you should name it something else,
especially if it is a network printer.
