Hi,
I'm using Scientific Linux 5, and trying to connect to our IPP printers
(or printer server, I'm not sure). The only mechanism provided by this
distribution for Gnome printer configuration is system-config-printer.
I finally figured out how to specify a default printer (by editing
/etc/cups/client.conf
to contain one line
ServerName my_IPP_servername
But how to do this from the Gnome GUI?
The CUPS print system wants you to use its configuration through the
web browser at port 631. Assuming you have the httpd package
installed, what happens ifyou browse
http://localhost:631
The IPP protocol can be specified there as one of the options on the
second page.
The CUPS config through the web browser is the preferred method of
configuration, and the gnome or kde GUI thingies are not.
Preferred?
That does not provide different users with different defaults, they must
use their gnome or kde GUI thingies for that.
Once they've done that, the CUPS selection becomes pointless.
