Fedora 28 打印机配置

Fedora 28 本身是没有打印服务的。我们需要安装两个软件：

• System-Config-Printer
• Common Unix Printing System - CUPS

安装好后，启动cups 系统，然后打开 system-config-printer 软件就能进行添加打印机了。

安装：

~ sudo yum install system-config-printer.x86_64
~ sudo yum install cups （本身 fedora 已经安装了 cups 打印系统）

启动cups :

~ sudo systemctl start cups

可以使用 systemctl status  cups 命令来进行查看服务状态。

man cups :

NAME
      cups - a standards-based, open source printing system

DESCRIPTION
      CUPS  is  the  software  you use to print from applications like word processors, email readers, photo
      editors, and web browsers. It converts the page descriptions produced by your application (put a para\u2010
      graph here, draw a line there, and so forth) into something your printer can understand and then sends
      the information to the printer for printing.

      Now, since every printer manufacturer does things differently, printing can be very complicated.  CUPS
      does  its  best to hide this from you and your application so that you can concentrate on printing and
      less on how to print. Generally, the only time you need to know anything about your  printer  is  when
      you use it for the first time, and even then CUPS can often figure things out on its own.
