Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : lpr-via-http Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Mathieu Roy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL or Web page : https://gna.org/projects/lpr-via-http/ * License : GPL Description : a web frontend for lpr queue monitoring and management.
Long Description: ----------------- "LPR via HTTP" purpose is to provide a web frontend for lpr queue monitoring and management. The point is to provide to users a simple and centralized way to monitor an lp (printer) queue information of a distant host and eventually to remove jobs. Acknowledgment: It is probably best to use desktop environment application (provided by KDE, or GNOME). But currently (February 2005), it is not easy to get these tools to work correctly, especially with a distant lpr server. LPR via HTTP depends on a web server with Perl support (mod_perl advised) and LPRng (not tested with the old LPR). It assumes that the local web server user can run lpq and lprm commands. If you want a more subtile access control policy, you are welcome to implement it; contact us to get access to the CVS. Note also that is is internationalized via gettext, so even if only French and English version are currently shipped, new translations could be easily included; do not hesitate to submit translations, there are not so many strings to translate. How does it looks like? By default, like it is shown on the following screenshot: http://download.gna.org/lpr-via-http/screenshot200502.png But it is quite easy to modify the CSS file. Packaging: ---------- A Debian package is already provided. It surely could be improved. As upstream author, while I have no further development plan for this project (which already perfectly fill my needs), I'll be there to collaborate with whoever would like to be it's debian maintainer. Also, I dont expect that package to be really time consuming for a debian maintainer.
