You will be prompted here wether you wish to configure a printer or not (figure 6-20). Note that you will be able to configure any type of printer, from local printers connected to the parallel port, to printers served by a Windows server.
We won't get into detail here about each configuration. We do examine the most common case of when you have a local printer directly connected to your computer. If you have another type of connection, refer to the chapter "Kups: Installing a new printer"; the parameters required are the same. On the following screens that appear (figure 6-21), fill in the fields. The Name of the printer is required.
After clicking OK, your printer should be automatically detected (figure 6-22) provided it is correctly connected and powered on. Should the auto-detection not work, simply choose your printer manufacturer and model in the following screen.
After clicking OK, the list tree of all supported printers appears. Your printer is highlighted (figure 6-23) and you just need to confirm the selection is correct.
Finally, the program proposes that you to print a test page. You are advised to do so, so that if it does not work you can come back and choose another printer driver. When it works, you are asked if you want to add more printers. Simply click Done when you have finished.
