## Inleiding

De module Printerinstellingen van &systemsettings; stelt u in staat om printers toe te voegen en te beheren met de &CUPS; printserver, alsook de server zelf te configureren.

De Common &UNIX; Printing System of &CUPS;, is printserversoftware ontwikkelt door Apple, Inc. en gebruikt door de meeste moderne &Linux; distributions en andere op &UNIX; gebaseerde besturingssystemen. Voor meer informatie, kijk op de &CUPS; website.

## Een nieuwe printer of klasse toevoegen

De meeste USB-printers zullen worden gedetecteerd en automatisch geconfigureerd door de Printerapplet wanneer ze ingeplugd worden. Er is geen noodzaak ze handmatig toe te voegen.

Deze module alleen gebruiken bij een netwerkprinter, een printer die een oude lokale verbindingsmethode gebruikt zoals parallelle of seriële poorten of als de automatische USB-detectie mislukt.

Om een nieuwe printer toe te voegen of een printerklasse (groep printers), selecteert u de node Niewe printer uit het linker paneel.

Een nieuwe printer of klasse toevoegen

U zult daar twee opties vinden:

### Nieuwe printer

To add a new printer which is connected to your local computer, home network or on the Internet, select the New Printer button. A new window will open where you can specify your printer configuration.

Choose the type of connection your printer uses from the left pane, then input the required details for the connection type in the right pane, and then click the Forward to proceed.

The following connection types are available:

AppSocket/HP JetDirect

  AppSocket and JetDirect are two similar technologies that permit printers to receive print jobs over a network. If your printer or print server supports these technologies, you may use this option to connect to the printer.

  You will need to know the hostname and port of the print server over the network to use this type of connection.

Internet Printing Protocol

  The Internet Printing Protocol, or IPP permits sending print jobs and managing print jobs over a local network or the Internet. There are three entries for IPP: secure HTTP (https), unsecure IPP (ipp), and secure IPP (ipps).

  You will need to know the printer's URI to configure this type of connection.

LPD/LPR Host or Printer

  The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) or Line Printer Remote (LPR) is a standard protocol for accessing printers over a network that was commonly used by older &UNIX; print servers and continues to be supported by newer ones like &CUPS;.

  You will need to know the host of the print server and the name of the Queue that represents the printer in order to use this type of connection.

Overig

  If none of the listed connection types are appropriate for the printer you wish to add, you may select this connection type and enter any URI that is accepted by &CUPS;.

On the next page, you will see a list of printers present in the class on the left, and all other printers configured on your system on the right. To add a printer to the class, select it from the right and click the Left Arrow button. To remove a printer from the class, select it from the left and click the Right Arrow button.
