printer driver help

[LackeyLad]

i recently installed a printer driver using a FAQ. The last part of the process i dotn understand. i downloaded the driver, installed the rpms, and now i must do the following, but have no idea what it means

here is what i am given to do

> >Once successfully installed the rpm files, the system now has the z600 
printer 
> driver.  You need to add manually a printer queue using 'lpadmin' command or 
in 
> the CUPS web server (http://localhost:631).

what does that mean?

Basically, that is a web page running off your computer. If you have Apache running as a service thay address in a browser will take you to that web page. Click on the link you made and it will take you there. (if Apache is running that is)

If it is not, you will get an error something like: Failure to connect.

If that is the case, then Applications>Systems Settings>Server Settings>Services will take you to a tool to tell FC2 to start httpd. Check that box and reboot and you should be good to go.

when we say applications>system settings or applications>***anything*** it is the Red Hat on you panel at the bottom
Bill Gates calles it START

Anyway, to install your printer: applications>system settings>printers.
Click NEW and the wizard takes you the rest of the way.
