27.14. Switching Print Systems
To switch printing systems, run the
Printer System Switcher application. Start it by
selecting the (on the Panel) =>
=>
=>
, or type the command
redhat-switch-printer at a shell prompt (for example, in
an XTerm or GNOME terminal).
The program automatically detects if the X Window System is running. If it
is running, the program starts in graphical mode as shown in Figure 27-20. If X is not detected, it starts in a
text-based mode. To force it to run in as a text-based application, use
the command redhat-switch-printer-nox.
Select either the LPRng or the
CUPS printing system. In Red Hat Linux 9, CUPS is the
default. If you only have one printing system installed, it is the only
option shown.
If you select OK to change the printing system, the
selected print daemon is enabled to start at boot time, and the unselected
print daemon is disabled so that it does not start at boot time. The
selected print daemon is started, and the other print daemon is stopped;
thus making the changes take place immediately.
