The printconf system now provides a printconf-tui program, for text-mode printer configuration.
The printconf-tui program provides command line import and export capabilities. The import can merge printer definitions with those that are already present, or it can override them (the default). For example:
printconf-tui --Xexport > settings.xml printconf-tui --Ximport < settings.xml |
or:
printconf-tui --Ximport --merge < settings.xml |
Combined with redirection — such as bash's 'here documents' (see the bash man page for more information) — it is now easy to put printer setups into kickstart files.
The printconf-tui program can clear settings completely. For example:
printconf-tui --Xclear |
The printconf tools now provide limited printer auto-detection.
redhat-config-printer-tui and redhat-config-printer-gui alias printconf-tui and printconf-gui, respectively.
Ghostscript has been updated to 6.51, and supports many additional drivers, as well as encrypted PDF files.
Support has been added for Hewlett Packard's hpijs ghostscript print drivers. Though they are not shipped with the distribution, due to license restrictions, they can be downloaded from the project site at: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net, and should work as drop-in components.
