You can use your Phaser 3400 printer with a PC running Red Hat Linux 6.0 or higher.
You must install the Linux printer utility provided on the CD-ROM, then use the
X-Window System’s “printtool” to install and set up the printer driver. Do not use the root
user or manual installation to install the driver. The Phaser 3400 printer driver is
dependent upon the native driver shipped with your Linux RedHat OS.

Printing in the X-Window System
A majority of the X-Window System’s applications offer the standard GUI interface of
File : Print for the menu bar at the top of the active window. This will then spool the
document to the default printer — usually dev/lp — and the printer will then carry out the
job. More advanced printer controls are available via the terminal window in the
X-Window System or directly from the Linux shell.
