+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>
