Thanks in advance for all help. I have a current working kickstart (always room for improvement) for redhat 7.3 that requires me to manually configure the printer queues after the machine has finished installing. I would like to automate this process but my current attempts are failing. What I have tried: set up a queue called testprinter using printtool on master machine and test with lpr -P testprinter testfile works copy the information in /etc/printcap to newmachine:/etc/printcap.local use rsync (-Carve ssh) to create and copy /var/spool/lpr to newmachine:/var/spool/lpr ssh to new machine check permissions match those on original machine restart lpd - it uses /etc/printcap.local to generate a new /etc/printcap test with lpr -P testprinter testfile nothing comes out lpq -P testprinter shows the file removed right after being sent: Printer: testprinter@newmachine Queue: no printable jobs in queue Status: job 'cfA556newmachine' removed at 14:18:53.596 Once I get it right I can learn what directories to tar up and add it to my %post install. All thoughts, ideas and suggestions welcome. Sincerely, Scott
