printconf1
Automatically configure attached usb and parallel printers
Usage
printconf [--dry-run]
[--verbose]
Overview
This manual page briefly documents the printconf command.
printconf automatically detects and optionally configures printers attached to Linux-based systems using the Foomatic printing system.
Options
-
-n, --dry-run, --no-action -
Detect printers, but don't actually configure them. This option is useful for testing purposes.
-
-v, --verbose -
Show additional progress information, including notification of devices for which no autodetection data was found.
Notes
Autodetection of parallel printers may require your computer's parallel port to be in "bidirectional," "EPP," or "ECP/EPP" mode; this is a setting in your computer's BIOS.
