USB printer connected to fedora 22

Configuring local printer in fedora
----------------------------------

/etc/cups/client.conf
ServerName  localhost
 ----------------------------------


In order to see the local printers (while using system-config-printer) , the above line (ServerName  localhost) needs to be added.




restart cups like: service cups restart

Please note you may need to comment your office(OR NETWORK) printer server in this configuration. I am still figuring out how to make both to work.

BUT, with this above option you should be able to configure your local printer.

PS: Somehow test printing from the properties dialog box is NOT working. BUT I am able to print from pdf/ text documents. (File-> Print) like that.
