Wemin IS cool

[Rigler, Steve]

All of the printer config stuff is maintained by alchemist.  It's nice
because it allows for some portability between machines that are using
CUPS and older ones that still use LPRng (I think that was somewhere
between 7.2 and 8.0).  So, if you were running LPRng and wanted to
switch to CUPS, you could keep all of your print queues with minimal
hassle.  It also allows for you to deploy identical configurations
across multiple hosts with the "printconf-tui --Xexport, --Ximport"
options.

Tom:

	I like Webmin as well, but printer configuration is the one
thing on
RedHat you can't do with it.  Somewhere about 7.1 or so, RH moved their
configurations out of /etc/printcap into some proprietary files.
/etc/printcap gets re-generated each time the service is started, but
you
can put other custom configurations in /etc/printcap.local  To manage
printers, you really need to use the gui printer config that Red Hat
supplies.

	You can change the Webmin config so that it manipulates the
printcap.local file instead, but then those printers don't show up if
you're
using RH's tool.

	I've never been able to find out where RH keeps those
configurations.  Does anyone know?

Same experieince. Webmin is cool for everything, especially the
backup.pl
script that it generates.
