connecting a wi-fi printer?

[mlsmith25]

How do you connect a wi-fi printer to the parallella in Ubunto?

You'd probably need a driver for Ubuntu-on-ARM (as opposed to Ubunto-on-Intel) CPU. If you can't find one, you can try printing to a PostScript file using another driver, then transfer that file to a PC and print from there.

This may depend upon which model of printer you have, but generally speaking Ubuntu uses software called CUPS, this comes with lots of drivers and can be configured for use with network printers. I'd suggest starting with the .

I kinda think this should be over in the Troubleshooting forum but whatever.

Helpful hints:
* get it to print when connected to the network via Ethernet before you try the WiFi route. it's just one less thing that could go wrong.
* If you have a Lexmark printer, forget it, they are not supported at all on Linux.
* If you have a Brother printer, you will need to get the CUPS config/driver from their website. Google should lead you there.
* If you have HP, you will need to install a specific package for for those. A simple search with the package installer will show you which package. it's named like hpjsi or something weird.
