Kickstart installations and printer pre-configuration in Fedora 13

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello:

In my department, we have a lot of Linux (CentOS and Fedora) workstations.  I set them up using Red Hat's kickstart method.  With CentOS and earlier versions of Fedora, my kickstart post-install script used a bunch of lpadmin commands to preconfigure the printer queues for my users.  With Fedora 13's new "automated" printer setup system, my lpadmin commands no longer work.  I believe it's because the printer drivers are not installed by default, so the lpadmin commands fail due to missing drivers.

I was wondering if someone could describe the correct way of preconfiguring network printer queues via a script.  I don't want my users to have to set up their own printers.  Thanks in advance for your help.
