I went through a bunch of trouble trying to get the /etc/cupsd.conf file specified so that I could browse, print to, and administer printers from across the network. (I would have thought this would be the default anyway.) Then I ran redhat-config-printer, and it blew all those customizations away. I just have an old dual-PPro for my file-and-print server, so I didn't install X on it, let alone Gnome or KDE. (Besides, unless they've suddenly put in support for 7-year-old crap video cards in the latest release of XFree, I'm pretty sure I'm still hosed as 7.3 wouldn't get a working display on it.) So I don't have the fancy-schmancy newfangled Gtk2-using redhat-config-printer-gui. No, it just runs the "-tui" version when I call the command. And that's all I wanted. (And, no, I didn't want to waste my limited disk space installing X _and_ a bunch of Gnome2 libraries _just_ for redhat-config-printer.) It seems the text version doesn't have widgets to enable printer sharing or for allowing browsing, like I see the gui version does (in the manual). Am I missing something here? Is there a way to use a redhat admin tool to administrate my printers (and allow browsing and remote printing), and NOT have to edit cupsd.conf by hand afterward? If not, then I think Red Hat needs to hit the drawing board again with redhat-config-printer-tui. I guess I'm no worse off than without Red Hat's work on redhat-config-printer-gui -- I'm back to editing flat files by hand (and that's ok) -- I just think that this helpful feature is only half-done. Thanks and regards, dk
