NAME

lprngtool - configuration and Graphics User Interface for LPRng

SYNOPSIS

lprngtool [ -V ]

DESCRIPTION

The lprngtool is a Tcl/Tk GUI which allows you to add/delete/modify local printers, and monitor and manage local and remote print queues using LPRng. LPRngTool does NOT work with Berkeley or Sys V style printing! You must have LPRng installed to make use of LPRngTool. If you want to control Berkeley lpd spools, use Red Hat's Printtool.
