RE: [webmin-l] Printer administration Slown

[John S. <js...@co...>]

Jamie,
Would it be possible to read the printer names from /etc/printers.conf =
(Solaris) rather than issuing lpstat -v ?

Thanks,
John

That's as good as it gets unfortunately - webmin runs the command=20
lpstat -v  to get the names of all printers, so if it is slow the module
will be too..
