GUI frontend to LPRng based /etc/printcap

## NAME

lprngtool - GUI frontend to LPRng based /etc/printcap

## SYNOPSIS

**lprngtool &**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **lprngtool** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**lprngtool** is a graphical frontend to configure the */etc/printcap* on LPRng based printing systems. It is based on Red Hat's printtool, but has a number of added features. It has support for configuring local, remote, SMB, JetDirect, and raw printers and queues. It has support for a number of queue management features such as: pause/resume, reprinting of errored jobs, ability to view remote printcaps, job removal, job redirection, job reordering, and the ability to stop or start queueing, printing, or both.

## OPTIONS

This program does not have any options.
