Hi, I'm packaging the Printer Configuration Tool (default printer config tool on RedHat/Fedora systems) for Debian. This aplication allows users to configure printers without needing to know if they're running CUPS, LPRng or whatever. To do that, the RedHat/Fedora team is using the alternatives system created by Debian and already used by us for browsers, terminals, editors, etc.
So, here goes my suggestion and a request: what do you think of using the alternatives system for printing? That would ease porting this application to run on Debian. This application would add a great facility for our users since it is impossible to know what command must be used to print a document on a Debian system. My suggestion to the name of this alternative is "print" which should point to the command used to print (ex.: /usr/bin/lpr) -- Projeto Software Livre Mulheres http://mulheres.softwarelivre.org "Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths" --Lois Wyse
