LPRng print queue manager

PythonIcon.png Skill level: easy
The instructions on this page can be followed by a beginner.


Overview

The LPRng rpm will install a print queue manager panel in server manager.

The current download location for a sme7.x compatible rpm is

http://www.saco-support.de/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view&parentcategoryid=3&pcid=0&nav=0

and the current rpm is

smeserver-lprng-monitor-0.0.7-1.noarch.rpm


Installation

Download the rpm and install with the command

rpm -Uvh smeserver-lprng-monitor-0.0.7-1.noarch.rpm

The post upgrade event and reboot are not required.


Usage

The print queue manager will control the print queue for each installed printer. The default install only allows access by the admin user, either to the server manager panel or via web browser.

In server manager select the item Administration >> Printerqueue Admin

For web browser access use the URL

http://www.yourdomain/LPRng

In either case, you will be prompted for the admin username and password.

The usage of the panel is self explanatory.


Important.png Note:
See related wiki article that allows non admin users to gain access:

http://wiki.contribs.org/Print_queue_monitor_user_access

It is also possible to configure the user manager contrib to have access to the print queue manager using this method.



Removal

Remove (uninstall) the rpm with the command

rpm -e smeserver-lprng-monitor
