The easier way is the built-in web interface of the CUPS system. General printer setup with CUPSĬUPS itself has two possibilities to add new print queues. They lead you step-by-step to the configuration of your printers, they auto-detect new printers, suggest the best driver, and they are even sometimes able to fully automatically set up all locally connected printers without any user interaction. Most printers can simply be set up by the tools coming with the distributions: " printerdrake" (or " mcc") on Mandriva Linux, " yast2" on SuSE, or " printconf-gui" on Red Hat or Fedora.
