Whichever way you go about it, the printer will be installed with a default set of options. You may wish to change them. Open PCLinuxOS Control Center from Start -> Configuration -> PCLinuxOS Control Center. Enter your root password. When the control center is opened, click the hardware button. Next, click "Configure printers" as displayed beneath.
Clicking "Configure Printers" opens up the Printer Control Panel.
Make sure the printer's line in the list is highlighted, and click on Edit Printer. This will fetch up a list of options, you have to select one then click "Do it".
To change the Printer's name, you click on "Printer Name, Description and Location".
If you accidentally selected the wrong driver, or you want to use a manufacturer's PPD file instead of the default one, use "Printer Manufacturer, Model...". Of the options for locating the PPD file, "Other Place" really means your local hard drive!
"Printer Options" can be used to change the Paper Size (for Europe=A4), and with the "Advanced" button, printout resolution can be "enforced". So if you only ever use your printer for Photos, you can set: Printout Mode="Photo" and the Resolution="1200dpi Photo Full Bleed" (if your printer supports these settings).
