Per discussion on debian-gtk-gnome, I have put up a working "printconf" (unrelated to the Red Hat program of the same name) for sarge and sid (along with a new Foomatic-GUI) at:
deb http://lordsutch.dyndns.org/~quango/printconf/ ./ Just use: # apt-get install printconf Currently, it autodetects and sets up print queues for parallel and USB printers with CUPS. It goes with the default settings; if the user wants to customize, they're directed to use Foomatic-GUI or the CUPS web interface (with the URL given in the debconf question). Should we decide to use something *other* than CUPS as the default spooler, all the code is generic enough to work with any other Foomatic-supported backend too. I'd appreciate some testing of this by interested parties. Of course, to work "out of the box" and be useful to most people it'd probably have to be pulled in by tasksel in a fairly popular task. And it'll eventually want translation, etc. We'll also probably want to call it something different, so people won't think it's the same as Red Hat/Fedora/whatever's printconf. Name suggestions (debprint? autofoomatic?) welcome. Chris -- Chris Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://blog.lordsutch.com/
