On Zorin - trouble installing new printer - need help
Hi. I am new to Linux & am using Zorin on my computer. 
I had my old printer pack it in & so I had to replace it with my new printer - which is the same make & model as the old one (a newer model only). There is some code name under Printers which I presume to be the old printer. Unfortunately, the new printer, when plugged in, won't work. I had the disc to install the new printer - it did install but onto desktop & not onto printers - it also never asked the questions for setting up this new printer - it just installed direct to desktop, no questions asked. I can't find any way to get the disc to install into Printers - I also need to know how to delete the installed program off my desktop. I hope someone can help me! Please remember that I am not computer saavy & so using terms other than regular basic computer language will be over my head - please be patient - I am learning. Thanks.

lprsetup
lprsetup(8) System Manager's Manual lprsetup(8) Name lprsetup - printer spooler set up program Syntax /etc/lprsetup Description The command provides an interactive easy-to-use facility for administrating the line printers on your system. The program contains on-line help and default answers to questions about adding, deleting, or changing the characteristics of any of the line printers on your system. Whenever a question is asked, the default selection is given in ] . You can press Return in response to the question to accept the default, or enter an alternate value for the given parameter. The program knows about all of the possible symbols in the file. See for a current list. After you have entered a printer specification, and have verified that it is correct, then creates the spooling directory, links the output filter, and creates an entry for the new printer. If the printer is connected to your system, you must specify the printer device name which is in the lp printcap entry. If lp is set to nn you are prompted to choose between or If your printer is connected to a port on your system, choose the default setting, If you choose you are prompted for the baud rate, br. The default is the recommended baud rate for the printer. If you want to set up your printer to a LAT line, choose the option. At this point, proceeds only if you have chosen a valid LAT device for lp. It assumes that the LAT device has been configured for host initiated connections using If it has not, you must do this before the queue works. For information about how to set up a LAT line, see Chapter 3 of the Guide to Ethernet Communications Servers. If lp is set to another device, for example the program assumes that you are setting up a printer with a parallel port, for example, It does not prompt you for device type information, and serial port specific entries are not put into the entry.
