Hi, I have a fedora38 desktop install, and when I go to the main System
Settings menu, there is no option to configure printers in the Hardware
section.
What package am I missing in order to configure/detect/install new printers?
This is a complete reinstall on the same computer where I had fedora37. I
have a Brother HL-L2370DW series printer.
The printer is available when I try to print from gnome-text-editor, but
not from within Chrome. I think it must be automatically detected each time
I try to print with gedit, but it appears more is needed to be set up with
Chrome, which I would imagine starts with proper CUPS configuration.
I'm aware of the web-browser interface to CUPS, but want to use the GNOME
interface to start instead.
Thanks,
Alex

Do you mean in the main System Settings? It's not there. Even searching
shows no results.

You will need to have the CUPS package installed, and the two driver
packages from Brother.

I don't think you need the Brother packages now. I have a DCP-L2530DW
and it works fine with the builtin CUPS driver, including double-sided
printing and scanning.

I don't have that menu. I have System Settings, but then nothing about
Printers or Print Settings in that menu.

I have all the cups packages already installed. I do think I'm still
missing something, though.

Sounds like you're using KDE/Plasma (or some other DE different from
Gnome).
If it's Plasma, open System Settings and search for 'printer' in the
search box. It should appear under Hardware.

It's in the main top-level list.
Do you mean in the main System Settings? It's not there. Even searching
shows no results.
Are you using a desktop other than Gnome?

What about typing into the command line:
system-config-printer
Assuming Fedora 38 still uses the same doo-hickey, that was the control
panel that various Gnome, Mate and probably some other desktops, would
call up from their menu.

That's what needed to be installed. I had forgotten the name of it, but I'm
also surprised it wasn't installed when I installed fedora38.
I also had to install "GNOME Desktop Environment" after the install because
whichever option was chosen by default did not include that, ugh.
I believe I'm now using Cinnamon on GNOME.
Thanks,
Alex
