Howto print

---

hi,

i want use my printer per usb.
What to do? Is it a haveto to go over cups or is there another way? I asume cups is made for network-printing?

Hi atergo !

That printer is brand ?

brand?! did you mean the name? Brother HL 2140

Til now: System control, print management, log into cups/management (in browser) with “root” and PW, i’m able to search for printer but if i select cups don’t safe the settings.

I’m working with plasma5.

system-config-printer in any terminal

when the gui appears, click unlock and when prompted enter your password for sudo user

click add printer

select from the list.

thanx Lizzi, well done, works.

(i had to add brother-hl2140 2.0.2_1-3 driver from aur, otherwise i got a blanc paper by printing)
