Re: [newbie] Print manager
Hi all, My desires are meet. Thanks to all who replied. Actually, you could have said why don't you look through the menus, bozzo. - I wouldn't have been offended, honestly. I am totally new to Linux, and I am amazed at the stuff I have just found while following the advice to find the print manager. I'm off to have a real look, Cheers, Chris K.

Cheers, Chris K If you are using KDE you can use kjobviewer You can access it from your KDE ControlCentrePeripheralsPrintersJobs Alternatively use menudrake to add a menu entry for it so you can access it directly. If you use Gnome or some other Window Manager then install the printman RPM and use the gnome-print-manager to monitor your jobs.

Re: [newbie] Print manager
I should have also mentioned that you can view print jobs using any browser on your local network with the CUPS administration tool simply by entering http://localhost:631 (replace localhost with IP address if using a different computer) On previous versions of Mandrake I was able to cancel jobs using the CUPS admin tool, but for some reason I cannot with 9.1 YMMV derek On Sunday 29 Jun 2003 4:10 am, Chris Knewstubb wrote: Hi All, I am using Mandarke 9.1.

Re: [newbie] Print manager
Hi, You can add an special button in the systray (i'm using KDE as my current desktop) called printing system or so (sorry, i've got the spanish KDE localized version and i don't know exactly how it's called in english). By clicking in one of the little up-arrows in the KDE task menu, select pannel menu add special button printing system. A menu-button (button that expands a menu) with a printer in it will be placed in the kde bar, and you can easily administrate your printer jobs clicking in the menu entry with your printer name --and even configure it through preferences or printing administration. You can also start the printer jobs administrator by typing kjobviewer in the console. You can access, as derek says, to a web browser interface using the URI he posted. But using Konqueror -and only Konqueror- just type print:/ to access to different printer related services, or print:/jobs to see your printer jobs status, although you're using LDP instead of CUPS. Personally, I don't like web interfaces very much -- it's slower (Sorry for my bad english... :) El sáb, 28 de 06 de 2003 a las 14:34, Derek Jennings escribió: I should have also mentioned that you can view print jobs using any browser on your local network with the CUPS administration tool simply by entering http://localhost:631 (replace localhost with IP address if using a different computer) On previous versions of Mandrake I was able to cancel jobs using the CUPS admin tool, but for some reason I cannot with 9.1 YMMV derek On Sunday 29 Jun 2003 4:10 am, Chris Knewstubb wrote: Hi All, I am using Mandarke 9.1.
