<title>Set up a local printer</title>
<p>Your system can recognize many types of printers automatically once they're
connected. Most printers are connected with a USB cable that attaches to your
computer.</p>
<note style="tip">
<p>You do not need to select whether you want to install network or local
printer now. They are listed in one window.</p>

<p>Do we have anything on what to do when your printer isn't found? 3.0.1?</p>

<steps>
<item><p>Make sure the printer is turned on.</p>
</item>
<item><p>Connect the printer to your system via the appropriate cable. You
may see activity on the screen as the system searches for drivers, and you may
be asked to authenticate to install them.</p>
</item>
<item><p>A message will appear when the system is finished installing the
printer. Select <gui>Print Test Page</gui> to print a test page, or
<gui>Options</gui> to make additional changes in the printer setup.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>If your printer was not set up automatically, you can add it in
the printer settings.</p>
<steps>
<item><p>Click the icon at the far right of the <gui>menu bar</gui> and select
<gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
<item><p>Open <gui>Printers</gui>.</p></item>
<item><p>Click <gui>Add</gui> and select the printer from the Devices window.</p></item>
<item><p>Click <gui>Forward</gui> and wait while it searches for drivers.</p></item>
<item><p>You can customize the printer's name, description, and location if you like.
When finished, click <gui>Apply</gui>.</p></item>
<item><p>You can now print a test page or click <gui>Cancel</gui> to skip that step.</p></item>
</steps>
<note>
<p>If there are multiple drivers available for your computer, you may be
asked to select a driver. To use the recommended driver, just click Forward
on the make and model screens.</p>
