Topic: Printers disappear from server-manager menu and LPRng k.o.

[aecc]

Before upgrading to v.7 from v.6, I didn't remove LPRng rpm. In v.7 I installed the new version of LPRng, but didn't work. (It appears "page not found" when clicking on "Printerqueue Admin"). Now I've removed with yum both LPRng I installed and the printers option in server-manager's menu has disappeared. I installed LPRng again, with no result. I don't know what to do to recover printers in the menu, and to get LPRng working again. I need some help. Thanks.

Solved.

I've removed LPRng an then install cups:

--------------------------
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/rvandenaker/testing/smeserver-cups/repositories/7.0/RPMS/noarch/smeserver-cups-0.0.1-02.noarch.rpm
 
yum localinstall smeserver-cups-0.0.1-02.noarch.rpm --enablerepo=*


signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

 
db configuration setprop cupsd TCPPort 631 access public

 
signal-event remoteaccess-update

There is no "Printerqueue Admin' page in SME server software. Perhaps you have installed a contrib and found a bug in it. You should report all possible bugs via the Bug Tracker - for add-on packages - in the Contribs section.

Configuring access to your printers from any host on the Internet is probably not necessary, and probably not a good idea.

"Printerqueue Admin" appeared when I installed LPRng and has not disappeared thouh I've removed the rpm.

LPRng does not include any SME server server-manager panel code or configuration. The "Printerqueue Admin" link you are seeing was created by some other package.

I don't know why or how you would have installed LPRng since it is already included in the standard install.

I've a terrible memory, but I'm sure that the "Printerqueue Admin" option  in server-manager is pointing to http://localhost:980/server-manager/cgi-bin/LPRng.

I installed it in an older version: sme 6.0, and forgot removing it before upgrading to sme 7.0. If sme 6.0 had that utility t6o admin printers queues, I didn't know it, so I installed it.

By the way, now that I have installed CUPS, I'm having some problems with the printers. One of them is that Windows applications take a long time to select a network printer configured by CUPS when you click on it in the printer panel, however, printing tests are ok.

That may be true, but that still is not installed by the LPRng package/rpm. A search here shows that that is installed by the saco-mitel-lprng-monitor contrib:
