All of the printer config stuff is maintained by alchemist. It's nice because it allows for some portability between machines that are using CUPS and older ones that still use LPRng (I think that was somewhere between 7.2 and 8.0). So, if you were running LPRng and wanted to switch to CUPS, you could keep all of your print queues with minimal hassle. It also allows for you to deploy identical configurations across multiple hosts with the "printconf-tui --Xexport, --Ximport" options. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Scully Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 9:54 AM To: thewiz@xxxxxxxx; 'General Red Hat Linux discussion list' Subject: Wemin IS cool Tom: I like Webmin as well, but printer configuration is the one thing on RedHat you can't do with it. Somewhere about 7.1 or so, RH moved their configurations out of /etc/printcap into some proprietary files. /etc/printcap gets re-generated each time the service is started, but you can put other custom configurations in /etc/printcap.local To manage printers, you really need to use the gui printer config that Red Hat supplies. You can change the Webmin config so that it manipulates the printcap.local file instead, but then those printers don't show up if you're using RH's tool. I've never been able to find out where RH keeps those configurations. Does anyone know?
