Has anyone been able to get lpadmin or a similar module to work on SCO = Openserver 5? I'm not a big SCO person but I now have to manage a large = number of print queues on SCO. I also have some first line techs that = could manage (start / stop / cancel) the queues but I'd need to give = them Webmin type access. Anyone know of a good way I could do that, = hopefully with Webmin? Thanks! Mark |

It may be relatively easy to port the module to OpenServer, if it uses a print system similar to one of the operating systems that is already supported. Does it use the standard Unix LPR system, which stores printers in /etc/printcap? Or does OpenServer use something like the Solaris or CUPS print systems, which manage printers with the lpadmin and lpstat commands? - Jamie |

From what I can find, the systsem generally uses lpstat, lpadmin to manage the print subsystem. Is there a way I can try out the lpadmin module for Solaris or CUPS and see if that works?

You could have the module use the same print system as Unixware (which also uses the lp* commands) by doing the following : 1) Go to the lpadmin directory under the webmin-1.110 root directory. 2) Edit the module.info file and add openserver to the end of the os_support= line. 3) Copy config-unixware to /etc/webmin/lpadmin/config 4) Delete /etc/webmin/module.infos.cache Once this is done, the module should be visible and usable. I'd be interested to hear if it actually works properly, so that OpenServer can be added to the supported operating systems list.. - Jamie Mark wrote: >>From what I can find, the systsem generally uses lpstat, lpadmin to manage > the print subsystem.
