Topic: PrinterQueAdmin Knocked Out My Service Control Contrib

[Chris Buechler]

Help!   I just installed the printerqueadmin contrib for my 6.0.1  --  it works fine, but it knocked out my service control contrib that I just installed (can't see it on the menu now)...  

#1 - I did this

[root@linux1 files]# rpm -Uvh smeserver-lprng-monitor-0.0.6-1.noarch.rpm

#2 -  After noticing it wiped out the service control panel -- i tried to re-install or  uninstall/re-install and neither one would work...

[root@linux1 files]# rpm -e e-smith-service-control-1.1.0-06.noarch.rpm
error: package e-smith-service-control-1.1.0-06.noarch.rpm is not installed
[root@linux1 files]# rpm -ivh e-smith-service-control-1.1.0-06.noarch.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
package e-smith-service-control-1.1.0-06 is already installed
[root@linux1 files]#


Thanks,

Nevermind...  I just noticed that it moved.  When I first installed it, it was in the UNKNOWN section, now it jumped up to the CONFIGURATION section..

Sorry!

Just a note for you, if you wish to remove a rpm do...


rpm -e e-smith-service-control

that will remove it, as the way you done it showed you an error.

That goes for all rpms no need to type the 1.1.0-06....rpm

As for the UNKNOWN section you would have needed to run /etc/e-smith/events/actions/navigation-conf

and ignore errors that will sort out any unkown into the correct place

Thanks for the input -- I appreciate it -- still new the the linux/unix world..  loving it more every day.

Just my quick two cents' worth; everyone  and I mean EVERYONE who uses a SME server should immediately remove LPRng and install CUPS.  It couldn't be easier to do and I've NEVER had CUPS fail me.  LPRng has failed me in 5.5, 5.6 and 6.0 in keeping print jobs from various computers straight and in printing in mixed Mac/PC/Linux environments.

CUPS?  Calmly and Uninterruptedly Prints; Smooth!

I never had any luck with the SME printing system. But i'm lucky having dug through CUPS, which is always working. They should deprecate the default printing system and take CUPS into the distro.
