This pages describes how to install a printer on a Scientific Linux system.
 
__TOC__
==Before you start==
To install a printer, you need to be able to login as ''root''.
 
During the installation process, you will need to enter the correct '''print server'''. The server depends on printer make. Below you will find the correct server for each printer make:
{{printservers}}
 
you will also need the printer's '''UU serial number'''.  You can find this on the label attached to each printer.  If this label is missing, please contact {{topdesk|lan=en}}.
 
Finally, you will need the correct '''printer drivers'''.  If these are not available on your system, you will need to download them from the printer manufacturer web site.
