Installing a network color laser printer in Ubuntu 10.04

Installing a network printer means, that the Ubuntu desktop computer will be able to sent print jobs to a remote printer over the network.

In this example, we will install a Brother HL 4050 CDN network laser printer in the Ubuntu 10.04 operating system.

We visit the homepage for Official Ubuntu Documentation. We click Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. We click Printing and Faxing. We click Printing. We find the section for network printing. Here, we find the procedure for installing a network printer.

We open System, Administration and Printing. We click New and expand Network Printer. We follow the guide, go through the settings and print a test page. It works.

We also test printing from the browser and one of the office tools. It works.
