Most printers will be automatically supported by Xubuntu. The
<span class="application"><strong>Printer Configuration</strong></span> application allows you to
add printers, as well as modify their settings. You can also use this
application to share the printer with other computers on a network, disable
the printer, or restart it.

<p>
A local printer is one which is directly connected to your computer
(as opposed to a network printer, discussed in the following section).
</p>
<p>
To setup a new local printer, plug your printer into your computer and
power it on. Most printers will automatically be detected an configured.
Once detected, a printer icon will appear in the notification area and
after waiting a few moments, you should get a popup with the text
<em class="guilabel">Printer is ready for printing</em>.
</p>
<p>
If your printer was not detected after a few moments, then you will need to
follow these steps:
</p>
<div class="procedure">
<ol class="procedure" type="1">
<li class="step" title="Step 1">
<p>
Obtain the model name of your printer.
</p>
</li>
<li class="step" title="Step 2">
<p>
Ensure the printer is turned on.
</p>
</li>
<li class="step" title="Step 3">
<p>
Choose <span class="guimenu">Applications</span> → <span class="guisubmenu">System</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Printing</span>
</p>
</li>
<li class="step" title="Step 4">
<p>
Click <span class="guimenu">Server</span> → <span class="guisubmenu">New
</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Printer</span>.
</p>
</li>
<li class="step" title="Step 5">
<p>
Your printer should be automatically detected and displayed in
the <em class="guilabel">Device</em> window, click on your printer
and press <span class="guibutton"><strong>Forward</strong></span>.
</p>
</li>
<li class="step" title="Step 6">
<p>
Your computer will search for and install drivers for your printer.
</p>
</li>
<li class="step" title="Step 7">
<p>
You can enter a description and location for your printer.
</p>
</li>
<li class="step" title="Step 8">
<p>
Press <span class="guibutton"><strong>Apply</strong></span>.
</p>
</li>
<li class="step" title="Step 9">
<p>
Your printer should be properly configured at this point and you
will be prompted if you want to print a test page.
</p>
</li>
<li class="step" title="Step 10">
<p>
If you press the <span class="guibutton"><strong>Print Test Page</strong></span> button,
a test page will print and you can verify if it printed correctly,
or you can press <span class="guibutton"><strong>Cancel</strong></span>. Either way, your
printer is ready to print.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
If your printer was not automatically detected, you can try to select the
port and printer driver manually. Some printers need further setup. Search
the databases at
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting" target="_top">The Linux Foundation</a> or
check the
<a class="ulink" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters" target="_top">
Xubuntu Wiki Printer page</a> for information on your printer.

You can also configure your Xubuntu system to send print jobs to a remote
print server. Remote printers are hosted somewhere on a network. To
configure a remote printer:
</p>
<div class="procedure">

To find out how much ink is left in your printer, follow the instructions which
apply to your printer:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem">
<p>
<span class="strong"><strong>Hewlett-Packard (HP) printers:</strong></span>

<span class="keycap"><strong>Alt</strong></span>+<span class="keycap"><strong>F2</strong></span>, type
<span class="command"><strong>hp-toolbox</strong></span> and press <span class="guibutton"><strong>Run</strong></span>.
Select the <em class="guilabel">Supplies</em> tab in the HP Device Manager
window which appears to view a summary of ink levels.

to check your ink levels.
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>
<span class="strong"><strong>Some other Epson and Canon printers:</strong></span>
Install the <a class="ulink" href="apt:inkblot" target="_top">inkblot</a> package, press

<span class="command"><strong>inkblot</strong></span> and press <span class="guibutton"><strong>Run</strong></span>. A

For printers from other manufacturers, the best chance of viewing ink
levels for your printer in Xubuntu is to install an official Linux printer
driver from your manufacturer if one exists.
