I don't understand that. Could you elaborate ? Right now there are two situation. One situation, is that I have 1 machine that acts as a print server with the printer physically connected to it (e.g via USB port). Say I have 5 other computers on the LAN, I have to configure printer on each of those 5 computer to use the same print server, right ? How do I avoid doing "system-config-printer" five times on those machine ? A second situation is that the printer sits on the network (e.g a printer with ethernet and HP Jet Direct protocol). If I have multiple computer that tries to use that printer, how do I set it up once and just copy the configuration among those computers ? On each of the case, I use to be able to just configure printer once with system-config-printer, then do something like "printconf-tui -Xexport > settings.xml", copy around the settings.xml file, and do "printconf-tui -Ximport < settings.xml" for the other computers.
