The hardest part is probably the “Printer Model Selection”. In former years the situation was difficult, because there were hardly any drivers to find. The difficulty now is there are too many; though some of them are very good, many are quite broken.
If you have a current “database” of available drivers
on your system, select the manufacturer in the left part of the window
first, then the device model in the right part. This split window shows
all PPDs found by CUPS in its standard repository of installable
PPDs. This repository normally is /usr/share/cups/model/
. If you want your
driver to be found automatically by CUPS and KDEPrint, place it in
there.
