that is the perfect example of how NOT to ask a question

What distro are you using? what scanner? what printer?

you will sure need some ^info^ !?

read docs & FAQ at www.tldp.to get a overview about linux.

if ur working with RH linux, do make sure that cups service is enabled. There is a graphic tool to configure a new printer.
It is somewhere in systemtools or system settings. Try that.
Keep it in mind that It is not windows!!!

if you're using Redhat or Fedora use redhat-config-printer or system-config-printer to launch the utility you're looking for. Almost anything under the "control" panel has a redhat-config-something for it. Just type "redhat-config" and then tap "tab" twice. Or in fedora use "system-config"

Mandrake has "Mandrake Control Center" mcc, which is very similiar to Windows Control Panel.

Suse has Yast which is similar.

Slackware has pico which you use to edit config files.
