The LPT port is generally used to identify the parallel printer port. Now go to the appropriate section to configure (or check) the kernel. Building the kernel this way is not mandatory if desired modular support can be easily added, just be sure to remember to load the appropriate modules! In the next configuration examples, the necessary support will be added into the kernel, not as modules. Do not rely on genkernel to configure everything in the system automatically printing is an area configuration settings are difficult to automatically set. If genkernel was used to configure the kernel, these steps should still be performed to make sure nothing was missed. Navigate to /usr/src/linux and run make menuconfig to enter the kernel configuration. Of course, this depends on how the printer is going to be attached to the system, so for convenience the instructions have been separated. The next few sections explain what minimal kernel configuration is needed to get a printer connected in Gentoo.

Is it through a local port like LPT or USB, or is it networked? If it is networked, does it use the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) or the Microsoft Windows CIFS protocol (Microsoft Windows Sharing)? When a user desires to install a printer on a system the first step is knowing how the printer will be attached to the system. It will not go in too much detail since the project has great documentation available for advanced usage. In this document we will cover how to use CUPS to setup a local or networked printer. Since the beginning of the project, back in 1999, the installation and maintenance of CUPS has improved dramatically. Linux has great support for printers the right tool for the job is called CUPS ( Common Unix Printing System). Printing and Gentoo Linux Use the right tools
