Choosing a printer for Linux
======
Linux offers widespread support for printers. Learn how to take advantage of it.
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/lead-images/email_paper_envelope_document.png?itok=uPj_kouJ)
We've made significant strides toward the long-rumored paperless society, but we still need to print hard copies of documents from time to time. If you're a Linux user and have a printer without a Linux installation disk or you're in the market for a new device, you're in luck. That's because most Linux distributions (as well as MacOS) use the Common Unix Printing System ([CUPS][1]), which contains drivers for most printers available today. This means Linux offers much wider support than Windows for printers.
### Selecting a printer
If you're buying a new printer, the best way to find out if it supports Linux is to check the documentation on the box or the manufacturer's website. You can also search the [Open Printing][2] database. It's a great resource for checking various printers' compatibility with Linux.
Here are some Open Printing results for Linux-compatible Canon printers.

The screenshot below is Open Printing's results for a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 4050—according to the database, it should work "perfectly." The recommended driver is listed along with generic instructions letting me know it works with CUPS, Line Printing Daemon (LPD), LPRng, and more.

In all cases, it's best to check the manufacturer's website and ask other Linux users before buying a printer.
### Checking your connection
There are several ways to connect a printer to a computer. If your printer is connected through USB, it's easy to check the connection by issuing **lsusb** at the Bash prompt.
```
$ lsusb
```
The command returns **Bus 002 Device 004: ID 03f0:ad2a Hewlett-Packard** —it's not much information, but I can tell the printer is connected. I can get more information about the printer by entering the following command:
```
$ dmesg | grep -i usb
```
The results are much more verbose.

If you're trying to connect your printer to a parallel port (assuming your computer has a parallel port—they're rare these days), you can check the connection with this command:
```
$ dmesg | grep -i parport
```
The information returned can help me select the right driver for my printer. I have found that if I stick to popular, name-brand printers, most of the time I get good results.
### Setting up your printer software
Both Fedora Linux and Ubuntu Linux contain easy printer setup tools. [Fedora][3] maintains an excellent wiki for answers to printing issues. The tools are easily launched from Settings in the GUI or by invoking **system-config-printer** on the command line.
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/linux-printer_4-printersetup.png)
Hewlett-Packard's [HP Linux Imaging and Printing][4] (HPLIP) software, which supports Linux printing, is probably already installed on your Linux system; if not, you can [download][5] the latest version for your distribution. Printer manufacturers [Epson][6] and [Brother][7] also have web pages with Linux printer drivers and information.
What's your favorite Linux printer? Please share your opinion in the comments.

为 Linux 选择打印机
======
Linux 为打印机提供了广泛的支持。学习如何利用它。
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/lead-images/email_paper_envelope_document.png?itok=uPj_kouJ)
我们在传闻已久的无纸化社会方面取得了重大进展，但我们仍需要不时打印文件。如果你是 Linux 用户并有一台没有 Linux 安装盘的打印机，或者你正准备在市场上购买新设备，那么你很幸运。因为大多数 Linux 发行版（以及 MacOS）都使用通用 Unix 打印系统（[CUPS][1]），它包含了当今大多数打印机的驱动程序。这意味着 Linux 为打印机提供了比 Windows 更广泛的支持。
### 选择打印机
如果你需要购买新打印机，了解它是否支持 Linux 的最佳方法是查看包装盒或制造商网站上的文档。你也可以搜索 [Open Printing][2] 数据库。它是检查各种打印机与 Linux 兼容性的绝佳资源。
以下是与 Linux 兼容的佳能打印机的一些 Open Printing 结果。
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/linux-printer_2-openprinting.png)
下面的截图是 Open Printing 的 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 4050 的结果 - 根据数据库，它应该“完美”工作。列出了建议驱动以及通用说明，让我了解它适用于 CUPS、行式打印守护程序（LPD）、LPRng 等。
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/linux-printer_3-hplaserjet.png)
在任何情况下，最好在购买打印机之前检查制造商的网站并询问其他 Linux 用户。
### 检查你的连接
有几种方法可以将打印机连接到计算机。如果你的打印机是通过 USB 连接的，那么可以在 Bash 提示符下输入 **lsusb** 来轻松检查连接。
```
$ lsusb
```
该命令返回 **Bus 002 Device 004: ID 03f0:ad2a Hewlett-Packard** - 这没有太多信息，但可以得知打印机已连接。我可以通过输入以下命令获得有关打印机的更多信息：
```
$ dmesg | grep -i usb
```
结果更加详细。
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/linux-printer_1-dmesg.png)
如果你尝试将打印机连接到并口（假设你的计算机有并口 - 如今很少见），你可以使用此命令检查连接：
```
$ dmesg | grep -i parport
```
返回的信息可以帮助我为我的打印机选择正确的驱动程序。我发现，如果我坚持使用流行的名牌打印机，大部分时间我都能获得良好的效果。
### 设置你的打印机软件
Fedora Linux 和 Ubuntu Linux 都包含简单的打印机设置工具。[Fedora][3] 为打印问题的答案维护了一个出色的 wiki。可以在 GUI 中的设置轻松启动这些工具，也可以在命令行上调用 **system-config-printer**。
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/linux-printer_4-printersetup.png)
惠普支持 Linux 打印的 [HP Linux 成像和打印][4] （HPLIP） 软件可能已安装在你的 Linux 系统上。如果没有，你可以为你的发行版[下载][5]最新版本。打印机制造商 [Epson][6] 和 [Brother][7] 也有带有 Linux 打印机驱动程序和信息的网页。
你最喜欢的 Linux 打印机是什么？请在评论中分享你的意见。
