You can look at "edit" of this page to see how the following simple markup works:

Adding a USB Printer

You can easily add a USB printer to your core or to an MD to share over the network, even with windows PC's.

Installing the Printer on a pc

1. Connect the USB printer to the pc (in my case I chose to connect to the core so the printer would be in my server closet).
2. Using LMCE navigate to the KDE desktop.
3. Navigate to System settings and select the "Printers" icon. This should bring up the Printer System Settings menu.
4. Click on the dropdown for "Add", and select "Add Printer/Class". This will bring up the Add Printer Wizard, click "Next"
   1. you may experience a known bug with KDE here. Sometimes the radio button where you would select "Local printer(parallel,serial,USB)" will be unavailable/grayed out. If you know that your USB ports and Printer are both functioning properly try using this command from a terminal.

 cd /etc/cups
 sudo cp cupsd.conf.default cupsd.conf
 sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

1. Select the radio button for "Local Printer", then select your printer from the list.
   1. KDE has quite alot of printer drivers already available in the OS so you should be able to select your printer Brand and Model in the next screen.

Once you do so it will bring up a list of possible drivers that you can select and test to see which one works best. Once you are done click "Finish".

You have now installed your USB printer to this PC.

Third: Which can be nested by adding more equal signs

Fourth Header

The headings will be put into a table of contents at the top, but only when the page has 4 or more section headers (nested or not).

• This is an unordered (bullet) list.
  • These can also be nested

1. This is an ordered (numbered) list
   1. I think these can be nested as well
   2. They can
2. Next ordered (numbered) list
   1. Nested
   2. Nested

This will be indented

Indented more

Lines starting with a space will be "preformatted", and placed in one of those typical dotted boxes.

Italic text

bold text

italic and bold

Urls are automaticly recognized, but there are more possibilities. For example: http://some.domain/page.html shows the URL 'as is' [1] shows up as an increasing number alternative text shows up as "alternative text"

other wiki page link to other_wiki_page, shows as "other wiki page" alternative text link to other_wiki_page, shows as "alternative text"

this will stop the wiki from applying formatting, useful if you don't want url's turned into links for instance: http://some.domain/page.html

Alternatively you can also use the standard HTML tags.

Third Level: You unnest by removing one level of equal signs

You can easily add a USB printer to your core or to an MD to Samba share over the network, even with windows PC's.
