Select the desired locally connected printer from the list in the left hand panel and click the ''Forward'' button. The printer manager will search for and install the correct driver for the selected printer. Finally a screen will appear providing the option to describe the printer in terms of name and optional description and location details. Click ''Apply'' to complete the installation. A dialog will appear providing the option to print a test page.
Once the driver is installed you are ready to try out the printer. To access the printer properties after installation, in the Printers dialog select your printer right click with the mouse to pop up the menu and select ''Properties''.
