Hello Cathy,

okay that window what you see if you Press Alt+F2 and type gnome-terminal is called a terminal. Here you can enter commands to maintain your system. So what kind of printer should be installed and is the driver you will install via a terminal a linux driver? So a other way to install a printer is:

gnome panel ->system ->Administration ->printer ->add new printer
