[Bug 905528] Re: create command to launch printer-specific print queue viewer
A little patch that allows to display the printer queue for all jobs (whatever the printer). To use it, just type : system-config-printer --show-jobs=all The patch is for Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 (system-config-printer version 1.4.3+20140219-0ubuntu2.1 RB ** Patch added: 35-show-jobs.patch https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/905528/+attachment/4116885/+files/35-show-jobs.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905528 Title: create command to launch printer-specific print queue viewer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/905528/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 905528] Re: create command to launch printer-specific print queue viewer
FYI, this feature is being used in two local open source computer labs to handle printing control through a lab monitor computer that doubles as a print server without tying up a web browser running the CUPS web interface! This implementation will be much more volunteer and user friendly as it will provide a dedicated print management interface that automatically updates as new jobs appear. thank you!!! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905528 Title: create command to launch printer-specific print queue viewer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/905528/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 905528] Re: create command to launch printer-specific print queue viewer
Unfortunately, the switch to gnome-control-center's printer panel didn't get finished this cycle. I squeezed in a small patch to system-config-printer before feature freeze yesterday that adds a command line switch --show-jobs that opens the print queue for that printer: system-config-printer --show-jobs printername ** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905528 Title: create command to launch printer-specific print queue viewer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/905528/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

hi Lars, when/where will this feature be available?? Is there also a way to view/manage system-wide queues across all printers? thank you very much, this is wonderful! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905528 Title: create command to launch printer-specific print queue viewer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/905528/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It's in Ubuntu precise since today (final release of precise will be in April). The patch is in my branch here (hit the download diff link to get a raw version): http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~larsu/system-config-printer/remove- applet/revision/214 It's a fairly simple patch that does from the command line what Ctrl+F did in the GUI. I don't think that system-config-printer can show queues across all printers right now. Adding that would be a bit more work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905528 Title: create command to launch printer-specific print queue viewer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/905528/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 905528] Re: create command to launch printer-specific print queue viewer
The functionality you added before feature freeze is exactly what i've been looking for in a dedicated user-controlled print server. I can just set up the different print queues as startup programs. thank you!!

The volunteers who monitor the lab and operate the print server (release, cancel or move print jobs) are computer and linux novices. The print queue viewer needs to autostart on login, and autorefresh, so all the monitor needs to know is whether to release, move or cancel the job. The viewer already autorefreshes. But the autostart on login capacity is missing: Currently the only way to see the queue for all jobs on a specific printer from ANY user via GUI is $ system-config-printer then I right click on the printer in question, and select View Print Queue Ctrl+F There currently appears to be no command-line hook to launch this window directly, which is a major limitation in the functionality of a Linux-based CUPS print server. Another option to add this functionality is to add an option in the system-config-printer-applet --no-tray-icon GUI to display jobs from any users (including those submitted to the server from client computers), which is what I believe the web-based interface does by default. thank you!

Ha, I just started implementing that in gnome-control-center (the UI that will eventually replace the system-config-printer ui). ** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Status: New = In Progress ** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Lars Uebernickel (larsu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905528 Title: create command to launch printer-specific print queue viewer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/905528/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
