View Full Version : [ubuntu] Manually configure a printer/ driver??

If I were to have a situation where I had installed the driver for a printer but when I went into printing on the control pannel to "add" the printer the driver didn't show up - could I or should I consider manually editing some configuration file to get the printer recognized/ installed on the machine?

If that were a good solution, how would I do it? What file would I look for? What would I edit in it?

I know that first sentence is probably hard to read but I don't know how else to say it.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks

If I were you I would try to find a writeup on your specific make and model printer.
