Configure Linux printing via web browser
One of the issues surrounding Linux is the fact that, because there are so many distributions, there are so many ways to configure various aspects of the operating system. One such aspect is printing. Each distribution has its own way of configuring a printer. However, because of CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) you have a standardized method of configuring your printer built right in.
The CUPS web administration tool is easy to work with and can be used on any distribution that has CUPS installed. In this article you will see how simple it is to add a printer to a Linux system via the CUPS web interface.
