A print queue is the definition of a printer in your system. Each entry of a printer in the application's printing dialogs is a print queue. One calls them queue, as when you send a job while the printer is still printing, the jobs queue up and get printed in the order in which they got submitted.
"lpadmin" is a command line tool to create, modify, and remove print queues. It does not print anything. The commands which I hace supplied do the following: The first creates your print queue and the second sets the default paper size. The web interface is a printer setup tool like system-config-printer. Its special property is that it is web-based and therefore it does not need a Linux desktop to run. With a headless print server it is often the only interactive printer setup tool. Instead of using the web interface for remote administration you can also run system-config-printer on a Ubuntu client with a desktop and in the "Server" menu there is a function to connect system-config-printer to a remote server, for example your headless print server. Then you can manage your server with system-config-printer. For this or to use the server's web interface from a browser on a remote client (any operating system, can also be a cell phone) you need to allow remote administration on the server. run the command cupsctl --remote-admin on your server. The credentials you have to enter are usually the user name of the first user set up on your machine and this user's password. If you have created a root password on your server you can also use "root" and the root password. In addition, the credentials of every user who is in the "lpadmin" group can be used. If administration of your server does not work as I described, please report a separate bug. I do not know why your print queue got removed during the update. Did you get asked whether you want to keep or replace certain configuration files (especially /etc/cups/printers.conf) during the update? Perhaps your /etc/cups/printers.conf got replaced by an empty one during the update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/943527 Title: hp deskjet 920c dissapeared, cannot add To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/943527/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
