I have never needed to edit cupds.conf to admin cups. But then I always use kprinter or YaST to admin cups. Hey ken so does kprinter let you start/stop individual printers like using
A the webpage interface of cups does. I have this problem here that sometimes one of the HP printers that the server is serving will stop printing. I find that when i log into the web interface that it has been stopped for some reason an I have to restart that printer. sometimes I have to go an clear out the whole queue for all printer after stoping cupsd an then restart cupsd an it will start printing again. but sometimes all I have to do is just log onto the web interface for cups an hit the restart button for the printer that has stopped working. I would love to know why it does this an how to put a stop to it. while out on vacation week before last one of them stopped ( at same time had the network switch fail that it is hooked to) an my boss though it was problem with printer so he called tech out. we had to pay for the tech guy coming since there was not a problem with the printer it self, we have maintance on them that if we use here toner they will work on the printers for us for free an we pay for parts. well off my soapbox on that for now before I get mad again hehehehe.
Yes it does, you can even restart cups if you need to. If you are on SuSE 9.3 after starting kprinter click on the administrator mode button and you will access to all of cups functions. You can even start kprinter remotely if you use ssh -X when you login. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
