administering canon printers
 

Hi,
I have an ubuntu workstation 8.10 and wanted to know if I could monitor Canon printer queues , ( see jobs, start/stop queues) etc. etc. similar to what my xp workstation does with the canon fiery sw.

is there anything out there?

thx

Presuming it's cups, http://localhost/631/jobs

how would I know if its cups or not ?
what is the 631 for ?

You'd know, because you're the one who set up the print queue
The port # that the service is listening on.

But, it would help if you said what kind of Canon print queue. If you're talking about a little, consumer-grade printer, a CUPS monitoring solution that the one you were recommended, is the best bet. If you're talking about a big ImageRunner device, you can load the software from Codehost, which gives you a good look into the queue, and all the features.

Typo! That should be: http://localhost:631/jobs or just http://localhost:631/ for CUPS management, in general.
