PRINTER
Configure (all) / Configure (local)
These two programs pop-up a window displaying all the currently
configured printers, as shown below.
The "Configure (local)" option is similar to the "Configure (all)"
selection, except only local printer destinations are reported.
Network printers are not displayed in the Configure (local) option.
This can be useful to gain a better overview of printer resources.
From the Configure Printers window, you have the option to:
+ Add - Add a printer
+ Delete - Delete a printer
+ Enable - Enable a printer
+ Disable - Disable a printer
+ Jobs - View and modify print jobs
Add
In Enlighten, you can define a printer as a print server or a print
client. Altogether, there are three options for configuring a
printer when you click on the Add button: as a Print Client, a Local
Print Server, or a Network Print Server.
Each of these windows contain buttons and fields which are common to
both print client and print server configurations.
Delete
This button will delete a printer from the system. From the
Configure Printers window, highlight the printers to be deleted from
the system. Enlighten will prompt you to confirm your choice, to
ensure the selection was correct.
Note: Enlighten cannot delete a printer configuration if there are
pending print requests. Use the `Printer --> Queue' menu item to
cancel all pending print requests on the printer you wish to delete.
Enable
This button will enable a printer which is disabled. The Enable
command is similar to physically turning the printer on; it tells
the print queue administrator daemon that the printer is now
available for printing. Any print jobs which might have been waiting
in that print queue will now begin to print.
Disable
This button will stop the highlighted printers from receiving print
requests from the spooler. Any job which is currently printing will
be added back to the print queue to be reprinted once the printer is
enabled. This command does not stop users from sending print jobs to
the disabled printer; those print requests will be added to the
print queue.
Jobs
This button will display all print jobs currently printing or
waiting to be printed for the highlighted printer destinations. A
pop-up window will notify you if there are no jobs. If there are
print jobs, the Printer Queue window will appear.
