Network printing in Ubuntu 11.10

When you try to add network printers via System Tools -> Setting -> Printers, there's an error mentioning something about FirewallD being not activated. To workaround this, open terminal and type 'system-config-printer' this would open an alternative printer configurator that works!

Enjoy printing with your Ubuntu!

  1. Thank you! The fact that I had to look this up is ridiculous--after several previous versions of Ubuntu that could just find my printers at the click of a button--but that's 11.10 for you. Again, thank you. You've saved me some grief.
