Hi louis,

1. lpstat -a
2. You could install (web)jetadmin or use SAM to configure printers.

Hi Louis,

1. "lpstat -t" command(not including the quotes) will show you what printers are configured and what is the status on those printers. It will also list if it's connected through a remote server.

2. You can use lpadmin command to configure a network printer. Also you can use SAM to configure a network printer. Will require admin priviledges for that.

3. Same goes here. Local & network printers can be configured through lpadmin or SAM.

Let me know if this helps.

Regards,
Anil

hello gideon,

with lpstat -a command we won't be able to know whether it is network or a directly attached printer

Hi Louis,

I think Anils answer lpstat -t is better.
I am at home and not able to check the syntaxs, I thought the -a gave all info.

Does the link help you?
