Setting up user printers.
Looking for the best way to do it.
I have remote printers that I add to the system with lpadmin. They don't show up as options for end users, unless the users go into gnome-printinfo and "show" the printers (default is that new printers are hidden).
This is not good. I need newly added printers to automatically become available to all users. Trying to find all the users and then step them through the process is not something I want to try to do every time there's a change!
I've found that each user's ".printers" file has a list of available printers. Modifying that file does indeed change the printers available in the print dialogs for applications. However, that doesn't appear to be a complete solution. Changes made there are NOT reflected in gnome-printinfo (but gnome-printinfo DOES update/overwrite that file when changes are made)! What all DOES gnome-printinfo update, and can I easily script it for "all users"?
