Setting up a printer

The program "Cups" is used in Chakra to configure your printer. Please go to Kickoff > Applications > System > Manage Printing. This will start your browser at http://localhost:631/ , the cups start page. Select "Adding Printers & Classes". You'll need to login with a username and password. Do not use your own username, the username here is root, password is your own password. Follow the instructions.

If you have a HP printer you can use the software HPlip instead, included in the LiveCD, just press F12 to show Yakuake and do: sudo hp-setup (remember: in live mode the password is "live")
