This will add the cups printing system to a existing hda installation.

Initial system setup

  1. Check to see if cups is installed already. It quite often is if you installed gnome or any other programs that might have printer support.
   su -
   rpm -qa |grep cups

If you see cups, then you don't need the next line.

   yum -y install cups
  1. Install links for local access to the Cups configuration website, or use whatever web browser you have if you have X installed.
   yum -y install links
  1. Navigate to the Links configuration page
   links http://localhost:631

Quick cheatsheet for links:

Left and Right arrows go forward and backward on pages.
Up and Down arrows move from one link to another
SpaceBar goes down 1 page.
Enter is the same as clicking a link, or puts a check in a box.
