Hi all,
I got no answers to my last post so I try one more time. I really can't find the info on the Centos mailing list archive. I'm sure that it is an easy question....
I want to use the gnome print manager (in order to manage the print queue) but the icon is not available in : Main menu -> System tools.
Does anybody knows in which package it is contained or how to launch it from a terminal?
Thanks,
Jean

It is /usr/bin/printconf-gui and it is:
Menu -> System Settings -> Printing

Thank you for your answer,
I already know this application, but I can't abort a current job with it. Is there a way to do it with another application ?
Thanks,

Hmmm, maybe I misread things because it seems he answered the question you asked. Anyway, you can delete print jobs via the console with lprm, and iirc cups will allow you to do it via their web interface/gui on port 631. I'm not sure about how to do it with cups, as I do most things via command line.

FWIW, I think that the program you are looking for is eggcups. It is included in CentOS 4 and should be active by default. It is a panel applet. When you print, a printer icon should appear in the panel notification area. (So make sure you have the panel notification applet on one of your panels.) By default its next to the rhn-gui checkmark thing.
Click on that printer and you will be able to control print jobs. The printer icon only appears when you have a job in the queue.
Hope this helps.

That thing sucks - many times I can't cancel jobs with it. When it does actually work, I can't tell because it won't update.
As another poster mentioned, you can cancel jobs via CUPS web interface and the console. However, another console option is the "cancel" command. If you know the job id of your print job, just do this:
$ cancel [job ID]
