LPRngInfo Description

The LPRngInfo application was designed to be a small utility that will allow you to view and slightly manage your Unix based print queues. This program assumes you are using LPRng for your print system. Geared mainly for our helpdesk, this program presents a easy to use GUI environment to display the print activity on our Unix system. The main window (shown below) allows you to see at a quick glance a summary of print queues. The LPRng print queues listed can come from multiple hosts if desired. Viewing the Queue By double-clicking on a queue entry, or selecting an entry and pressing the Show Jobs button, the program will bring up the list of jobs in the specified queue as well as some LPRng Status information. From this window, you can delete print jobs. The program will obtain the NT user name of the person logged into the machine and send that name in the request to LPRng to delete a job. The user must have rights on the remote system to be able to delete a job. If they don't, you will get an error. Support for HP Printers One version of the program has support for getting status information from HP printers via SNMP. This version requires two additional DLLs (see Obtaining LPRngInfo for details). When enabled, the program will query the specified printers via SNMP and obtain the status information (Out of paper, Toner Low, Paper Jam, etc). This process has been placed into the background as it can take a long time to refresh the display if the list of printers is long. Once the background thread polls all the printers, it will pause for a configurable amount of time before starting to poll all the printers again.
