openSUSE® Leap makes it easy to print your documents, whether your computer is connected directly to a printer or linked remotely on a network. This chapter describes how to set up printers in openSUSE Leap and manage print jobs.
Before you can install a printer, you need to know the
root
password and
have your printer information ready. Depending on how you connect the
printer, you might also need the printer URI, TCP/IP address or
host, and the driver for the printer. A number of common printer drivers
ship with openSUSE Leap. If you cannot find a driver for the printer,
check the printer manufacturer's Web site.
