How To Set Up Your Printer In Ubuntu
Or, how to print effectively without any hassles in Ubuntu.
Step 1] Boot Ubuntu
Step 2] Make sure your printer is connected (via USB) and switched on
Step 3] Have two glasses of water
Step 4] Watch TV for five minutes
Step 5] Return to your terminal and start printing.
That’s it. No spoolsv problems, nothing. Ubuntu will notify about low-ink and out of paper problems. It also reads .pdfs and .docs, so there is no question of incompatibility anyway.

Is it really so easy? Nice
Printers and internal modem are probably two things for which Linux has always been criticised.
Dunno about internal modems, but my modem works great even with USB. In the printer set up, step 4 is very, very important. If you miss step four, you will not be able to print.
You might be having an external modems. External modems are usually not of much problems.
Your works with USB? Mine also. I have a Beetel Router which has Broadcom chipset. cdc_ether is the driver which supports wide range of chipsts for which USB works. If your router chipset can be handled by cdc_ether then the USB will work.
Step no 4?
