try redhat-config-printer-tui --help -----Original Message----- From: Lambert, Eric [mailto:Eric.Lambert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2003 11:19 AM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: adding printers in kickstart Thanks for these suggestions, but we have close to 100 printers and I'm working to avoid the manual addition of all of them to any system, even once. If this is the ONLY way, I'll give in, but there must be a command line out there that the GUI uses on the back end (I hope). So, if anyone has a command line method to do what I've detailed below, I'd love to hear it. FYI, this is RH7.3 Eric Lambert -----Original Message----- From: Mehmet Soysal [mailto:soysal@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2003 1:06 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: adding printers in kickstart Lambert, Eric wrote: > Does someone know the correct command line to use in kickstart (or in > a running OS for that matter) to use to add an LPD network printer? > > I'm looking for accomplishing the same thing as what happens when I > run the "printconf-gui" tool and do the following: > > Select "New" > enter a queue name > select "Unix Printer" (LPD) as the queue type > enter a print-server name and queue name on the server > select Postscript Printer as the print driver type > Finish > hi, you can use "redhat-config-printer-tui". First you configure all your printers on a installed computer. Then you export you current setting "redhat-config-printer-tui --Xexport > filename.xml". Put the "filename.xml" somewhere you can access during the Installation for example : wget -c http://your.server/filename.xml and import the settings: "redhat-config-printer-tui --Ximport < filename.xml" Mfg M.SOYSAL _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY NOTICE This e-mail contains information that may be confidential and proprietary.
