<title>Install print drivers</title>
+<p>If you have followed the steps to <link xref="printing-setup">set up a local printer</link>
+and you do not see the printer you want to set up in either <gui>Local</gui> or
+<gui>Network</gui> you may need to install the print drivers manually.</p>
+
+<steps>
+ <item>
+ <p> First, open a web browser using the <gui>Activities</gui> menu and
+navigate to <cmd>http://localhost:631</cmd>. This is the web interface for CUPS, the
+Common Unix Printing System. (If you do not see this page, you might need to install the
+CUPS package for your distribution.)</p>
+ </item>
+
+ <item>
+ <p> Next, select the <gui>Administration</gui> tab at the top. Under the
+<gui>Printers</gui> header, click the <gui>Add Printer</gui> button. You will need
+administrative access to add a printer; log in with the username "root" and your
+administrative password to continue.
+ </item>
+
+ <item>
+ <p>On the <gui>Add Printer</gui> page, select your printer and click
+"continue". (If it is not visible, Linux is not detecting your hardware. Check
+connections and try rebooting the computer.)</p>
+ </item>
+</steps>
+
+<p>CUPS will guide you through the process of printer setup. When it is complete,
+your printer should appear in
+<guiseq><gui>Your Name</gui> <gui>System Settings</gui> <gui>Printers</gui></guiseq>.</p>
