Public bug reported:
This is a feature request:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11540606
I am using a Linux computer as a print server for a computer lab. The
volunteers who monitor the lab and operate the print server (release,
cancel or move print jobs) are computer and linux novices. The print
queue viewer needs to autostart on login, and autorefresh, so all the
monitor needs to know is whether to release, move or cancel the job.
The viewer already autorefreshes. But the autostart on login capacity
is missing:
Currently the only way to see the queue for all jobs on a specific
printer from ANY user via GUI is
$ system-config-printer
then I right click on the printer in question, and select "View Print Queue
Ctrl+F"
There currently appears to be no command-line hook to launch this window
directly, which is a major limitation in the functionality of a Linux-
based CUPS print server.
Another option to add this functionality is to add an option in the
system-config-printer-applet --no-tray-icon GUI to display jobs from any
users (including those submitted to the server from client computers),
which is what I believe the web-based interface does by default.
thank you!
