Printer driver installation on Linux

Instructions:

1.	On your Linux system, extract the ‘*.tar.gz’ file to any folder, and then open the folder that contains the extracted files.
 
2.	To install the driver, double-click on the file ‘install.sh’ and click Run in the terminal when the message pops up.
 
NOTE: On some Linux systems, the ‘install.sh’ file may need to be run directly from the terminal. Running the shell script and using “sudo” requires a user with root privileges.
 
3.	To go to the directory of the folder that was just created and install the driver files, launch the terminal and type the following commands:
cd /path/to/directory
sudo ./install.sh

4.	After running the above command, open your web browser and type the following address to view the CUPS web interface:
http://localhost:631/admin

Local printers (connected by USB):

If you have a printer or MFP connected by USB, you may see it listed as a new device in the CUPS manager. If this occurs, click Manage Printer to verify the printer driver that CUPS has selected for you. If you do not see your device listed, click Add Printer and then enter the additional information required to complete the setup.

NOTE: If you are asked for a username and password, enter your login username and password or the "root" username and password. 

Network printers:

In the CUPS manager, click Add Printer and then enter the additional information required to complete the setup. You can find the IP address of a printer or MFP on the device home page, or by printing the configuration or status page. You can also use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to get the IP address remotely, which also happens automatically when you open the CUPS administration web page or choose an available CUPS device when adding a printer or MFP. If you install the printer or MFP by IP address, using “LPD/LPR Host or Printer” provides better printing performance. 

After the printer or MFP has been added, CUPS asks you to set the default printing options (paper size, output mode, etc.). Make any changes as needed and then click Set Printer Options to save your configuration.

Finally, click Print Test Page to print a simple test page.
