Wifi Printer CentOS 9 Installation – Step-by-step

GNU/Linux CentOS 9 Stream Installing Wi-fi Printer – QuickStart Guide

Hi! This tutorial will guide you step-by-step on How to Set up and Configure a Wireless Printer in CentOS 9 Stream GNU/Linux Desktop.

Especially relevant: to Setup Network Printer in CentOS 9 first we have to Install Printer Driver on System.

Most Network Printers support a Protocol known as Bonjour, which is a combination of zero-configuration networking (“ZeroConf”), multicast DNS (mDNS), and DNS service discovery (DNS-SD) standards.

So the first attempt for an Universal configuration is the Zeroconf Bonjour Avahi Linux Service implementation.

Else if you are principally interested to Share a Network Printer with Windows Clients you may instead follow instructions about the Samba Printing Sharing.

Moreover, to Print over Wi-fi with Apple iOS and macOS Systems on this Printer then see How to Install AirPrint support on CentOS.

Finally, this Setup is Valid also for All the others Red Hat Linux Based Distros like:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• Oracle Enterprise Linux
• Rocky Linux
• AlmaLinux
