Open terminal type in pcc [Enter]. Type in root password and click OK. Go to Hardware tab. Find and click Setup Printer. If on the hardware tab there is no Setup Printer button - open synaptic package manager and install printerdrake package.

Hope this helps.

brjoon1021 . After following the advice from AndrzejL and you find that your printer isn't supported then post the printer details.

Based on the limited information you have provided, I have to ask if you have fully updated your system? If not then open Synaptic, click on reload then click mark all updates and apply..

Can you also reply with what printer you have so that someone can assist you better.
