<p>This topic explains how to make printers, windows printers in particular,
available in GNOME.</p>
<p>There is no preconfiguration needed for being able to install Samba
printers using gnome-control-center. To add a new Samba printer to your CUPS
(Common UNIX Printing System) server, simply follow the steps below.</p>
<steps>

drop-down menu, choose <gui>Settings</gui>.</p>
</item>

<p>Click on the <gui>Printers</gui> icon.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Unlock the <gui>Printers</gui> panel by clicking on the
<gui>Unlock</gui> button.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click the <key>+</key> key below the list of printers.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>If your printers are public, wait for the printers which are
available on your windows network to appear. Otherwise, type the address
of the Samba server and press <key>Enter</key>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>When asked, authenticate yourself to Samba servers which need
authentication to show their printers.</p>

for your printer.</p>
