Half a Page of Scribbled Linux

Setting up printers is a lot easier than it used to be. On the Fedora Gnome menu, System->Administration->Printing is all that was needed. The printer attached to the local parallel port was automatically detected. The networked HP Photosmart 8450 was easy too, provided I knew it was connected with AppSocket/HP JetDirect. All I had to enter was its host name, manufacturer and model.
