I was tasked with migrating a bunch of printer entries from one box to another.
What I did is I got a list of printer names along with IP addresses and using the CUPS lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v lpd://IP_ADDR/lp
I loaded them onto the new machine running RHEL 4.6.
Printer tests show that it works fine. And if I use the CUPS web interface at http://localhost:631 Everything shows up.
But if I launch the RH (and presumably CentOS works the same way) system-config-printer interface after adding the printers the CUPS way, nothing shows up in the RH interface.
Probably not a big deal, but I have a colleague that will go nuts over this. He's attached to his interfaces, but there was no way I was going to manually enter those printers in that interface.
Where do I look to make that interface "see" the CUPS-only printers? === Al

As a matter of interest, why do you want to use system-config-printer?
I've always found this completely useless, while the CUPS web interface seems quite straightforward.
I completely agree. I'm just trying to make a colleague happy.
In fact, I am more of a CLI guy, and prefer to use xadmin to add, remove and configure printers.
But you're right, the CUPS interface is actually more straightforward than the system-config-printer interface. === Al

If I'm not mistaken, the printconf command has been deprecated and is no longer available in CentOS-5 ??

But poster did mention CentOS 4.6 as the new box, so I assumed the old box was at least that.

Ah, I missed the original post. Then, it's just ... ahem ... the wiki page needs some update with a note for CentOS-5 users.
