[wellylug] Printing under Linux

[Sam Cannell]

I find that lprngtool / printtool are great for printer setup.  I first
used it in Redhat, but there's a Debian package for it too.  You may
find that something similar comes with Mandrake.

lprngtool -
Description: GUI frontend to LPRng based /etc/printcap
 LPRngTool is a graphical frontend to configure the /etc/printcap on
 LPRng based printing systems. It is based on Red Hat's printtool, but
 has a number of added features. It has support for configuring local,
 remote, SMB, JetDirect, and raw printers and queues. It has support for
 a number of queue management features such as: pause/resume, reprinting
 of errored jobs, ability to view remote printcaps, job removal, job
 redirection, job reordering, and the ability to stop or start queueing,
 printing, or both.

printtool -
Description: Tk-based printer configuration tool
 This is an enhanced version of the Red Hat printtool, with
 autodetection of printers and PPD support.
