YaST Printer/Network Printing

Jump to: navigation, search
Some printers are accessible over a network (mostly LAN). These can be shared by multiple participants.



Adding a network printer

Start adding a printer

If you have no printers directly attached to your computer, none may be detected. It will thus be necessary to detect other printers.

Start detecting more printers

You should get a list of printers here. If you do not, you might need to activate SNMP. That can be done on the command line

$ sudo systemctl start snmpd.service

Select and configure the network printer

From personal experience using dnssd:// tends to work better than other protocols. If that doesn't work for you, run through the process again and select another protocol.

If your driver doesn't happen to be in the list, use "Driver packages" to install drivers. If you don't know which driver pack to choose, just install all of them and try again. Should your driver still not be in the list, it might be worth creating a bug report.
