Hi,

Welcome to my LUG.

First lets tackle your problems one by one.

Method of installation of new software depends on what distributions
you are using and what type of installation you are trying to do.

If you want to installed pre-compiled and pre-configured software for
your distribution from vendor (updates new packages etc.) then you can
do it using built in package manager in the application. First let me
know which distribution you are using. I'll recommend OpenSuSe 10.2.
If you want to compile a software for your system and mostly the
procedure is same for every distribution.

Secondly can you tell me the procedure you followed while installing
the printer in KDE and GNOME. Also post the output of "lpinfo -v"
(without quotes) with the printer connected at the terminal as root user.

With regards,
Rajneesh
