An Add Print Queue window opens.

2.

A window requests the name and description for the printer. Type a short name that you can remember. Add a description with more information if you have more than one print queue, so you can identify which is which.

3.

A Queue Type window opens. Select the appropriate item from the "Select a queue type" drop-down list at the top. If your printer is connected to your computer, select Locally-connected. Other choices might be Networked Windows (the printer is connected to a Windows computer on the same network as your computer) or Networked CUPS (the printer is connected directly to the network, rather than to a specific computer).

The list box shows the printer connections found of the type selected. For instance, if Locally-connected is chosen, you might see /dev/lp0.

4.

The next windows allow you to select your printer manufacturer and model. Generic is selected by default. Click Generic to see a drop-down list of manufacturers. Select your manufacturer and a list of models is provided, as shown in Figure 14-2. Find and select your model.

5.

In the next window, click Finish to create the new print queue.

You are asked whether you want to print a test page. It's best to click Yes. You are then asked whether the test page printed correctly. Wait until the page prints and click Yes or No. If you answer no, you are given information to help you determine and correct the problem, usually an incorrect manufacturer or model. If you answer yes, your new printer is added, as shown in Figure 14-3.
