I have googled this and found many answers for how to script this in Wintendo, but not so much that's clear on how do do this in Linux (or openSUSE). I am writing this on my laptop - openSUSE 10.3/32-bit KDE 3.5 - system. I use it for work both at work in my office and at my home office. At work, I print usually to an HP LaserJet 1310 I have in my office. I also occasionaly print to a workgroup printer such as one of our color laserjets or a high speed b&w printer. At home, I print to my wife's OfficeJet, connected via Samba to her Win2K computer. I want to have the system auto-switch my default printer in KDE/CUPS based on teh IP Address of where the compuer is. Though I use DHCP at work, my first two octets are always the same - 1.2.x.x - and I have a fixed IP at home - 192.168.0.102. In googling, I see that there is a commandline to set the default printer - lpadmin -d printername - which I suppose could be added to an initrc bash file. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it. - Dee Hock -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
