I need to get my printer hooked up, I've been putting this off for a
while. But now I need to print up tax forms. My Linux is Ubuntu, the
Warty version. I use IceWm, it has no printer utility. Do I need to
install anything, or is this about editing config files? If I do have to
install anything, I'd prefer it to be something minimalistic. So far
I've installed all my programs with apt-get install, it's great. I think
that's why everything has gone so smooth. My printer is an Epson Stylus
Color 580.

make sure your CUPS server is running, and if it isnt im not sure about
on an ubuntu box, but make it running, if it is running, open up your
browser and type in http://localhost:631 to acess your CUPS setup, then
set up your printer from there. If you need more help feel free to email
me or post back. By the way the default place for the printer is /dev/lp0 .

Thank. I even found a CUPS package for Ubuntu, on a repository.
