The freekbox uses CUPS for printing.

To add a local printer to CUPS:

  • Open a browser
  • Browse to "http://localhost:631"
  • Click on "Manage Printers"
  • Click on "Add Printer"
  • The first time you do this a dialog box will come up asking for a username and password. Use "root" and the root password.
    • Printer name - required, should be a single word (no spaces)
    • Location - optional, can be anything
    • Description - optional, can be anything
