Connect to Shared Printers. Hard copies from printers are often still required for receipts, for documentation and even for people like myself who can't handle staring at the computer monitor all day. To that end, Fedora 11 can connect to all manner of printers. Like other Linux distributions, print management is based on CUPS, the Common Unix Printing System. As CUPS uses the Internet Print Protocol, IPP for short, it uses the same protocol used by both the latest Microsoft Windows and Macintosh systems. In fact, development on CUPS is sponsored by Apple Computer. To open the Fedora 11 Printer Configuration Tool, click System, Administration, Printing. It opens the Printer Configuration Tool which is a lot more powerful than it looks. To connect to a shared printer, let's click New Printer. You're prompted for your administrative password, click OK and in a moment I see not only local connections but also network connections and as you can see, there are six options for detecting and finding already configured network printers. If you just want to name the printer, you can highlight Find Network Printer and enter the host name or IP address of that particular host; not printer but the host computer or perhaps the host network server. If you have a bit more detail, you can select one of the other options. The App Socket/HP Jet Direct option works best with some network print servers; those network print serves which use Port 9100. And that'll be shown in the documentation for that particular print server. Note there are two different options for IPP printers. One using the Secure HTPP Protocol, HTTPS, or you're prompted to enter that particular URI or Universal Resource Identifier, which is a superset of the well-known URL or you can enter the host of a system that's also configured to CUPS or perhaps even a later Microsoft system. Enter the host name or IP address of that particular computer or print server. You're prompted to check the queue and you can or would be able to access said printer. As CUPS is the successor to the LPD and LPR protocols, that's line print daemon and line printer, there are bound to be some systems on older networks which are still configured to connect their printers through said protocols. If you have such a system, you can enter their host name or IP address along with the name of their associated queue, available from their configuration files. Finally, there's the Windows Printers via SAMBA option. Just as directories are shared on Microsoft networks, printers can be shared through said networks as well and you can use that information to fill in the data shown here. I click browse and I see the connected workgroup. Once the workgroup responds, it takes a moment to actually browse through the workgroup. I see the systems that are configured on the workgroup as well as configured printers on individual systems. I select a particular printer. I can verify the printer if needed and I'm prompted to log into this particular system. Of course, I have to enter the correct password. That's it for connecting to shared printers.
