Nice. Is your dtlp a different script than that one included in programs/dtprintegrate/dtlp ? I also noticed that programs/dtprintegrate/dtprintintegrate script is not used/installed anywhere - it can be used to add a printer to the "Printers" folder in the "Application Manager". > Might want to consider something similiar moving forward. The patches I send to today are needed only to restore basic sanity to the Print Manager - right now (1) it does not crash on startup (2) I can see all my CUPS queues in the Print Manager plus my default printer is "up and running" (which is not really true, but I digress). > Yes.

Oh yes, I need to add dynamic check whether /usr/bin/lpq (traditional BSD) or /usr/local/bin/lpq (CUPS) work. Also there seems to be some demand for the I-have-no-printing-system-installed-at-all Linux systems. Didn't check for actual print jobs, removing etc. etc. but at least someone trying CDE and clicking on the print icons should get some respone :) Didn't check drag and drop, printing from file manager etc. etc. This is just a basic stuff (should be applicable to Linux as well). //Marcin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
