Adding printers

[Guest]

I can not find the KDEPrint manager. I went to kmenu then utilities and there is not print manager. Can some one please help? As you can see very new to Kubuntu and i am getting frustrated, but i do like it.

Thank you,
Klane

Re: Adding printers

i think you can go two different ways.
a) kmenu -> system settings -> printers
b) http://localhost:631 in your preferred browser

if you simply want a job viewer,
there's kmenu -> utilities -> print jobs

Re: Adding printers

I have tried both options. Do you know if the KDEPrint manager is preinstalled or do i need to install it? Thank you for your fast response.

Re: Adding printers

To recognise a printer

1 - go to kmenu - system settings - printer
2 - delete falsely recognised printer
3 - unplug printer
4 - plug in printer
5 - icon will appear in taskbar saying that new printer is being installed
6 - after a while it says name of printer and printer driver used - if this is generic you have to install manufacturer specific drivers

I didn't know this worked in Feisty

Re: Adding printers

Fintan - thank you for pointing this out.

I should really look at which forum things are being posted under! I got a kubuntu feed for akregator and it covers plain all subforums, so I don't necessarily pay enough attention...

Sorry about that, learnt a lesson and will delete last post
