Here is a quick script that switches the print spooler on RedHat:
#!/bin/sh
#
help(){
cat <<EOF 1>&2
use: $1 [-c][-l]
change spooler from CUPS to LPRng or vice versa
-c - change to CUPS
-l - change to LPRng
EOF
exit 1
}
lprng=yes;
while [ "$1" ] ; do
case "$1" in
-c ) lprng="no";;
-l ) lprng="yes";;
*) help;;
esac
shift
done
if [ "$lprng" = "yes" ] ; then
echo changing spooler to LPRng
chkconfig cups off
service cups stop
if [ -f /etc/xinetd.d/cups-lpd ] ; then
perl -spi -e 's/disable.*/disable = yes/'
/etc/xinetd.d/cups-lpd
killall -HUP xinetd
fi
sleep 2
if [ -f /etc/printcap.lpd ] ; then
cp /etc/printcap.lpd /etc/printcap
fi
chkconfig lpd on
service lpd start
else
echo changing spooler to CUPS
chkconfig lpd off
service lpd stop
if [ -f /etc/printcap ] ; then
cp /etc/printcap /etc/printcap.lpd
fi
sleep 2
chkconfig cups on
if [ -f /etc/xinetd.d/cups-lpd ] ; then
perl -spi -e 's/disable.*/disable = no/' /etc/xinetd.d/cups-lpd
killall -HUP xinetd
fi
service cups start
fi
