Printer Question in RHAS 4.0 Linux

Greetings,

I used the GUI interface to setup my printers. How or where I can find out if I'm using CUPS printing protocol or something else?

Thanks,

Jorge

By default you use CUPS. CUPS uses the IPP protocol.

If you want to be sure that you use cups you can run:

alternatives --display print
Por que hacerlo dificil si es posible hacerlo facil? - Why do it the hard way, when you can do it the easy way?

#man cancel

#cancel qname
may work

(in HP-UX it is cancel -e qname)
