+ +
+ + The Install Freezes + + + If the system appeared to freeze during the installation, this + may be a problem with hardware detection.

This option may also be + combined with other options as necessary. +
+ +
+ + Kernel Options + + + These will rarely be needed, but in some cases the hardware may + report the available RAM incorrectly. To specify this manually, you + can use the mem=xxxM parameter, where xxx is the correct + amount of RAM. e.g. mem=256M would specify 256MB of + RAM. +

+ + + + + + Install and configure a + printer + + system-config-printer + + + + + + + + +
+ Introduction + + Printing is managed on Mageia by a server named CUPS. It has its own + configuration + interface which is accessible via an Internet browser, but Mageia + offers its own tool for installing printers called system-config-printer + which is shared with other distributions such as Fedora, Mandriva, Ubuntu + and openSUSE. + + You should enable the non-free repository before proceeding with the + installation, because some drivers may only be available in this + way. + + Printer installation is carried out in the + Hardware section of the Mageia Control Centre. Select + the Configure printing and scanning tool + You can start this tool from the command line, by typing + system-config-printer. The root password will be + asked for. + . + + MCC will ask for the installation two packages: + +
+ task-printing-server + + task-printing-hp +
+ + It is necessary to accept this installation to continue. Up to 230MB + of dependencies are needed. + + To add a printer, choose the "Add" printer button. The system will + try to detect any printers and the ports available. The screenshot + displays a printer connected to a parallel port. If a printer is detected, + such as a printer on a USB port, it will be displayed on the first line. + The window will also attempt to configure a network printer. +
+ +
+ Automatically detected printer + + This usually refers to USB printers. The utility automatically finds + the name of the printer and displays it. Select the printer and then click + "Next". If there is a known driver associated for the printer, it will be + automatically installed. If there is more than one driver or no known + drivers, a window will ask you to select or furnish one, as explained in + the next paragraph. Continue with +
+ +
+ No automatically detected printer + + + + + + + + When you select a port, the system loads a driver list and displays + a window to select a driver. The choice can be made through one of the + following options. + + + + Select printer from database + + + + + + provide PPD file + + + + + + search for a driver to download + + + + By selecting from the database, the window suggests a printer + manufacturer first, and then a device and a driver associated with it. If + more than one driver is suggested, select one which is recommended, unless + you have encountered some problems with that one before, in this case + select the one which know to work. +
+ +
+ Complete the installation process + + After the driver selection, a window requests some information which + will allow the system to designate and discover the printer. The first + line is the name under which the device will appear in applications in the + list of available printers. The installer then suggests printing a test + page. After this step, the printer is added and appears in the list of + available printers. +
+ +
+ Network printer + + Network printers are printers that are attached directly to a wired + or wireless network, that are attached to a printserver or that are + attached to another workstation that serves as printserver. + + + Often, it is better to configure the DHCP server to always + associate a fixed IP address with the printer's MAC-address. Of course + that should be the same as the IP address the printer of printserver is + set to, if it has a fixed one. + + + The printer's Mac-address is a serial number given to the printer or + printserver or computer it is attached to, that can be obtained from a + configuration page printed by the printer or which may be written on a + label on the printer or printserver. If your shared printer is attached to + a Mageia system, you can run ifconfig on + it as root to find the MAC-address. It is the sequence of numbers and + letters after "HWaddr". + + You can add your network printer by choosing the protocol it uses to + talk to your computer over the network. If you don't know which protocol + to choose, you can try the Network Printer - + Find Network Printer option in the + Devices menu and give the IP address of the printer + in the box on the right, where it says "host". + + If the tool recognises your printer or printserver, it will propose + a protocol and a queue, but you can choose a more appropriate one from the + list below it or give the correct queue name if it isn't in the + list. + + Look in the documentation that came with your printer or printserver + to find which protocol(s) it supports and for possible specific queue + names. +
+ +
+ Network printing protocols + + One current technique is one developed by Hewlett-Packard and known + as JetDirect. It allows access to a printer directly connected to the + network via an Ethernet port. You must know the IP-address at which the + printer is known on the network. This technique is also used inside some + ADSL-routers which contain an USB port to connect the printer. In this + case, the IP-address is that of the router. Note that the tool "Hp Device + manager" can manage dynamically configured IP-adress, setting an URI like + hp:/net/<name-of-the-printer> . In this case, + fixed IP-adress is not required. + + Choose the option AppSocket/HP JetDirect as the + protocol and set the address in Host:, do not change + the Port Number, unless you know that it needs to be + changed. After the selection of the protocol, the selection of the driver + is the same as above. + + + + + + + + The other protocols are: + + + + Internet Printing Protocol (ipp): a printer + which can be accessed on a TCP/IP network via the IPP protocol, for + example a printer connected to a station using CUPS. This protocol may + also be used also by some ADSL-routers. + + + + + + Internet Printing Protocol (https): the + same as ipp, but using http transport and with TLS secured protocol. + The port has to be defined. By default, the port 631 is used. + + + + + + Internet Printing Protocol (ipps): the same + as ipp, but with TLS secured protocol. + + + + + + LPD/LPR host or Printer: a printer which + can be accessed on a TCP/IP network via the LPD protocol, for example + a printer connected to a station using LPD. + + + + + + Windows printer via SAMBA: a printer + connected to a station running Windows or a SMB server and + shared. + + + + The URI can also be added directly. Here are some examples on how to + form the URI: + + + + Appsocket + + socket://ip-address-or-hostname:port + + + + Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) + + ipp://ip-address-or-hostname:port-number/resource + + http://ip-address-or-hostname:port-number/resource + + + + Line Printer Daemon (LPD) Protocol + + lpd://username@ip-address-or-hostname/queue + + + + Additional information can be found in the CUPS + documentation. +
+ +
+ Device Properties + + You can access the properties of the device. The menu allows access + to parameters for the CUPS server. By default a CUPS server is launched on + your system, but you can specify a different one with the + Server | Connect... menu, + another window which gives access to the tuning of other specific + parameters of the server, following Server | + Settings. +
+ +
+ Troubleshoot + + You can find some information on occurring errors during printing by + inspecting /var/log/cups/error_log + + You can also access to a tool to diagnose problems using the + Help | Troubleshoot menu. +
+ +
+ Specifics + + It is possible that some drivers for specific printers are not + available in Mageia or are not functional. In this case, have a look at + the openprinting + site to check if a driver for your device is available. If yes, check if + the package is already present in Mageia and in this case install it + manually. Then, redo the installation process to configure the printer. In + all cases, report the problem in bugzilla or on the forum if you are + comfortable with this tool and furnish the model and driver information + and whether the printer works or not after installation. Here are some + sources to find other up-to-date drivers or for more recent + devices. + + Brother printers + + This + page give a list of drivers provided by Brother. Search the driver + for your device, download the rpm(s) and install. + + You should install Brother drivers before running the configuration + utility. + + Hewlett-Packard printers and All in one + devices + + These devices use the hplip tool.
