Add Network Printer to CentOS/Ubuntu

 Before adding printer you need have the printer IP address: you can print it out from the printer configuration


1. make sure CUPS is running in your system

[sourcecode language="bash"]
sudo /etc/init.d/cups start
[/sourcecode]


2. Launch add printer wizard from command line

[sourcecode language="bash"]
sudo su -
system-config-printer
[/sourcecode]


3. New printer >> Give a name for the printer you want to add >>choose APPSocket/HP JetDirect in select connection >> put down the printer ip address in hostname field and leave port number at 9100 >> choose your printer type.

4. select printer from database (HP)

5. model: since there is no support for my printer model HP4700 I choose Laserjet 4350 and Postscript as Driver option
