This article will show you how to set up printing in the residence-halls for computers running Linux-based operating systems. The manual procedure should apply to any recent Linux distribution that uses system-config-printer. Such distributions include Fedora 9, Ubuntu 8.04, and later distributions running the GNOME desktop. All 鶹Ƶ residence halls have HP Laserjet 4350 printers, so any reasonably modern Linux distribution should have the drivers installed already.

If your distribution does not use system-config-printer, the procedure will differ from the above instructions. It should be close, though.
