HP printer configuration
From WikiDoc
Hp printers are considered to be the least troublesome under Linux and Kate OS (thanks to a perfect Common Unix Printing System [CUPS]). This installation process was done using HP Deskjet 5150 printer:
1. Download and install CUPS, if you still don't have it (which is very unlikely).
update os -install cups
2. Now you should configure your printer, I recommend using the www interface:
3. Click on "Administration Tasks" and enter root login and password.
4. You are in the CUPS administration centre. Just click "Add Printer" now.
5. Fill in the form:
Name: - enter any name you want your printer to be identified under: e.g. HP Location: - generally: /dev/lp0 but in some cases one can choose another port, eg. /dev/lp1. Description: - description of your printer.
Click "Continue" to go to the next step of configuration.
6. It is time to choose your printer's port (it should contain your printer's version). In my case it was:
USB Printer #1 (5150)
Click "Continue" again.
7. When you are asked about a driver, choose HP. click "Continue".
8. Find and select your printer's model from a long list. Click "Continue".
9. If you receive the following message:
"Printer HP has been added successfully."
it means that your printer was configured correctly.
10. Click on "Administration" and "Manage printers".
11. You may test your printer now, by clicking "Print Test Page".
12. Configuration was completed, as you can see - it was not too difficult.
