(I'm running snv_98.)
While working on a printing problem, I decided to use the Print Manager
to configure the printer.
I was surprised to see the old Solaris Print Manager instead of the
CUPS print manager that I see on Ubuntu.
I saw the message from Norm earlier today describing the print-service
command to switch between lp and cups print services. Shouldn't there
be a GUI to go along with that? And if I make that switch, will it
switch the Print Manager GUI as well?
What's the long term plan here? What's the need for two print services?
Also, there's two entries in the menu for Print Manager, but you probably
already know that.
When I use Print Manager to add a new network printer using the BSD
protocol, I get a printers.conf entry that looks like:
lp2:\
:printer-uri-supported=ipp\://nissan2/printers/lp2:\
:bsdaddr=nissan2,lp2,Solaris:
where "nissan2" is the machine on which I ran Print Manager, not the
name of the remote machine that I entered in the dialog.
This just seems completely broken. Is this a known problem?
