It's sounding like the answer to my original question is NO. I don't want to use any tool except command line (like lpadmin in Solaris, which exists on RH7.3, but doesn't seem to work the same) to add over 100 printers on any host even once, but unless anyone can tell me what that is, I guess that's exactly what I'll have to do. Then export/tar/import/whatever that config to new hosts on build. I'm still holding out hope that someone knows how to do this on a command line (btw, redhat-config-printer-tui --help is useless for this purpose). Thanks.

You create the definition using printconf{t,g}ui on an installed system, then export it using printconf-tui. In your kickstart file, you import it with printconf-tui. Read the man pages for more. Don't overlook the possibility of serving up your configuration, once you have it, with your webserver. You can fetch it on your client with either lynx or wget. > > 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 > > Thanks in advance, and please let me know if there is another list I > can > Cc: which may have more specific printer expertise. > > Eric Lambert > CIG -- Please, reply only to the list.
