Automatically generate printer lists at login
Authored by: AtomicMonkey on Jul 31, '06 08:59:49AM

We have almost 100 printer in this building. Every teacher doesn't want every printer. Not to mention every printer from every building they visit. In a smaller workgroup environment a CUPS server setup would be ideal, because I wouldn't have to maintain a script at all.

Automatically generate printer lists at login

Users do not need to directly see all the 100 CUPS printers. They can just select the printers they want to use from the "shared printers" menu. These printers then will stay in the short list of printers they see first.

See our readme about Printing with CUPS (MacOS X) for example. Even if the pictures are in German and from OS X 10.3 (10.4 looks similar). Currently we have around 130 printers in CUPS, see the printer overview for the complete list. ;)

bye
Fabian
