Printen

Most printers will be automatically supported by Xubuntu. Printers can be added and configured using the Xubuntu Settings Manager.

Lokaal printen

Een lokale printer is een printer die rechtstreeks met uw computer is verbonden (dit in tegenstelling tot een netwerkprinter, die besproken wordt in de volgende sectie). Om een nieuwe lokale printer in te stellen:

  1. Zoek de modelnaam van uw printer.

  2. Verzeker u ervan dat de printer aanstaat.

  3. Choose ApplicationsSettingsPrinting.

  4. Now choose New Printer.

  5. Enter a name, description and location for your printer. Then click Forward.

  6. Your printer should be automatically detected and should appear at the top of the list of devices on the left. If so, make sure it is selected and click Forward.

  7. If you have a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for you printer, select Provide PPD File then click the icon next to None and select the file you wish to use. Otherwise, make sure Select Printer From Database is selected and select the manufacturer of your printer from the list. After you have finished, click Forward.

  8. Now select your printer model and the driver you wish you use from the lists. If your printer was automatically detected the best choices should already be selected for you. Once you have done this click Forward then click Apply.

[Opmerking]

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 LinuxPrinting.org or check the Printer page on the Ubuntu Wiki for possible information on your printer.

Netwerkprinters

You can also configure your Xubuntu system to send print jobs to a remote print server. Remote printers are hosted somewhere on a network.

This will allow you to easily set up your network printer.

  1. Choose ApplicationsSettingsPrinting

  2. Select New Printer, and then select the appropriate connection.

  3. Voer de details van de netwerkprinter in en klik op Verder.

[Opmerking]

Als u het protocol of de details van uw netwerkprinter niet kent, neem dan contact op met uw netwerkbeheerder.

Een printer testen

Om te testen of een lokale printer of een printer op afstand correct werkt:

  1. Choose ApplicationsSettingsPrinting.

  2. Select the printer you would like to test from the list on the left.

  3. Click Print Test Page. A page should then be sent for printing.
