[CentOS] Re: CUPS and system-config-printer question
on 7-11-2008 4:17 PM Al Sparks spake the following: I was tasked with migrating a bunch of printer entries from one box to another. What I did is I got a list of printer names along with IP addresses and using the CUPS lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v lpd://IP_ADDR/lp I loaded them onto the new machine running RHEL 4.6. Printer tests show that it works fine. And if I use the CUPS web interface at http://localhost:631 Everything shows up. But if I launch the RH (and presumably CentOS works the same way) system-config-printer interface after adding the printers the CUPS way, nothing shows up in the RH interface. Probably not a big deal, but I have a colleague that will go nuts over this. He's attached to his interfaces, but there was no way I was going to manually enter those printers in that interface. Where do I look to make that interface see the CUPS-only printers? === Al Did you try this? http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/PrinterDefinitions -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

I'm just trying to make a colleague happy. In fact, I am more of a CLI guy, and prefer to use xadmin to add, remove and configure printers. But you're right, the CUPS interface is actually more straightforward than the system-config-printer interface. === Al ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
