CUPS support includes a GUI, system-config-printer, which is accessible from the GNOME Desktop and the command line. Because CUPS is the default print service, detection of directly attached printers is automatic. CUPS can also automatically discover other CUPS printers on a network, if those printers have sharing enabled. For more information, see Configuring a CUPS Print Server (Task Map). CUPS can also be configured to browse the network for Windows-hosted printers.
There are two ways to start the CUPS Print Manager GUI:
From the command line, type the following command:
$ system-config-printer
From the GNOME Desktop's Main Menubar, choose System -> Administration -> Print Manager.
Note - If your default print service is the LP print service, Print Manager for LP is started. For information about switching to the LP print service, see Switching From CUPS to the LP Print Service.
Note that when using CUPS Print Manager to perform a privileged action, such as creating a new print queue, modifying print queue properties, or deleting an existing print queue, you are prompted for the root password.
