### 1.8.6.4 Printers

Linux supports the complete range of parallel printers. If you are able to access your printer via the parallel port from MS-DOS or another operating system, you should be able to access it from Linux as well. The Linux printing software consists of the UNIX standard `lp` and `lpr` software. This software also allows you to print remotely via the network, if you have one available.
