1.10 Printing
Before you can install a printer, you need to know the root password and
have your printer information ready. Depending on how you connect to the
printer, you might also need the printer URI, TCP/IP address or host, and
the driver for the printer. A number of common printer drivers ship with
openSUSE. If you cannot find a driver for the printer, check the
printer manufacturer's Web site.
You can also use YaST to configure your printers, as described in
Section 2.5, Setting Up a Printer, (↑ Start-Up ).
