not have the X Window System installed, or you just prefer the text
based interface. To run it, log in as root (or use the command
to temporarily change to the root user), and type the command
/usr/sbin/printconf -tui
Five types of print queues can be configured with
Red Hat distribution:

• Local Printer

• Unix Printer (lpd Spool)
• Windows Printer (SMB)
• Novell Printer (NCP Queue)
• JetDirect Printer
• Do not edit the /etc/printcap file. Each time the printer deamon (lpd) is started
/restarted, a new /etc/printcap file is dynamically created.
• If you want to add a printer without using printconf, edit the
/etc/printcap.local file. The entries in /etc/printcap.local are not displayed in
printconf but are read by the printer daemon.
• If you upgrade your system from a previous version of Red Hat Linux, your
existing configuration file is converted to the new format used by printconf.
Each time a new configuration file is generated by printconf, the old file is
saved as /etc/printcap.old.
• If you add a new print queue or modify an existing one, you need to restart the
printer daemon (lpd) for the changes to take effect.
• Clicking the Apply button saves any changes that you have made and restarts
the printer daemon. The changes are not written to the /etc/printcap
configuration file until the printer daemon (lpd) is restarted. Alternatively, you
can choose File => Save Changes and then choose File => Restart lpd to save
your changes and then restart the printer daemon.
• If a printer appears in the main printer list with the Queue Type set to INVALID,
the printer configuration is missing options that are required for the printer to
function properly. To remove this printer from the list, select it from the list
and click the Delete button.
