Installing a printer

Sometimes some models of printers might have problems or might require
proprietary drivers, I would suggest that you look up on some search
engine whether or not your model is known to have issues connecting with
Ubuntu or other distros.

If it does not, the name of the model would still prove helpful to
assist you.
