Configuring Printers

Printing services in linux are managed by a package called CUPS which is an abbreviation for "common unix printing system". If it's not already emerged, emerge cups.
$ sudo emerge -av cups
After the emerge completes, start the cups daemon, and add it to startup.
$ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsd start $ sudo rc-update add cupsd default
CUPS administration is now done via a web interface. In order to finish configuring your printer, you'll need to emerge a browser. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:631/.
