[CentOS] How to install network Printers

[Chris Peikert]

Odd.. wget is not a recognized command. I never even herd of wget so it
doesn't surprise me. Know of any other way? I am also looking for books to
learn Linux since I have only been messing with it for...2 weeks now. I
looked at the dummy books but they don't cover Red Hat. So am I suppose to
get a dummy book for each flavor of linux or how does this work? Since I am
using CentOS do I get the Red Hat dummies or what?

I'm not sure that there is.

If you want the pages on your own computer though, you can do something
like this...

open a terminal

mkdir manuals
cd manuals
wget http://www.centos.org/docs/4/

which will download the entire set of html pages on to your computer in
the 'manuals' directory which you can then use firefox -

'File' menu => 'Open file...' 

then navigate to your manuals directory and choose 'index.html' and open
it.

If you want PDF form, you could get that from 'upstream' provider...

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/
