I recommend printconf-tui. It is a console utility for configuring printers. If you're running X on the Linux box, use printconf-gui. If you understand how to setup a printer, you should have no trouble with either interface to printconf. Printconf lets you setup a local printer, or a network printer that uses LPR/LPD or JetDirect, or a printer that is shared from a Windows or Netware print server. I do not recommend directly editing /etc/printcap on a Red Hat 7.x box because printconf will overwrite your changes when it is run. Use printconf instead. Besides it's easy interface(s), printconf can export print settings to an XML file that can be imported on another machine that needs to use the same printer settings. It's an easy way to setup the same printers on multiple workstations without interactivley stepping through the printconf dialogs. There is no man page. Use the help option to see how to use the export/import and other commandline options. printconf-tui --help | less Tony - -- Anthony E.
