Remote printer administration
by Andreas Heinlein
Hello,
is it possible to do remote printer administration (like with the CUPS
web interface) using system-config-printer? I mean seeing the complete
queue of a remote printer and deleting/purging jobs - provided you have
permissions, of course.
I read that since system-config-printer uses the CUPS API, that should
theoretically work. Is it or will it be implemented?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi,
I've just released pycups-1.9.57. This fixes the rpm provides script
which generates postscriptdriver tags, necessary for automatic package
installation via PackageKit.
