Chapter 11. Printing and Printers


Printing is easy to overlook. Many people dismiss it as a minor subsystem in Linux. I learned that was not the case one Friday. I received an urgent call for assistance from the payroll department. It was payday, and the payroll system was unable to print. Hundreds of people in that company were praying for the printing subsystem to be fixed. In this chapter, we discuss the major types of printer hardware, the major spooler software available, and ways to troubleshoot both.
