2. Add/Configure the printer in the same way as one would do on any normal Linux. Be sure to allow network access from the template VM to your printer, as normally the template VM is not allowed any network access, except to the special Qubes proxy for updates installation. One can use Qubes Manager to modify firewall rules for particular VMs.
3. Test the printer by printing a test page. If it works, shut down the template VM.
4. Open an AppVM (make sure it's based on the template where you just installed the printer, normally all AppVMs are based on the default template), and test if printing works. If it doesn't then probably the AppVM doesn't have networking access to the printer -- in that case adjust the firewall settings for that AppVM in Qubes Manager. Also, make sure that the AppVM gets restarted after the template was shutdown.
5. Alternatively if you do not want to modify the firewall rules of the template VM (that have security scope) you can simply shut down the template VM without trying to print the test page (which will not work), start or restart an AppVM based on the template and test printing there.
