NAME

ppr-web - Open PPR's Web-based Control Panel


SYNOPSIS

ppr-web [-d destname] [filename] ... ]


DESCRIPTION

This command attempts to open the PPR web interface in a web browser. If it is running under X-Windows and Mozilla is available, that is what will be used since it is the browser which best displays the PPR web interface. It X-Windows is not available, Links will be used in text mode.

Control Panel

If no arguments are supplied, then the PPR control panel will be opened.

Queue Display

To skip the PPR control panel and open a queue display window, use -d destname. For example:

        $ ppr-web -d myprn

Job Submission

If -d queuenname is used and additional arguments follow, then they are understood to be the names of files to be printed on the indicated printer. There will be no GUI manifestation of this operation, though a print dialog is planned for the future.

Desktop Icons

If this command is used as the action command of a KDE icon, you will be able to double click on it to open a queue window or drop files onto it to print them. To create such an icon, click on the queue's icon in the Control Panel and choose the Client Configuration item. You will be able to choose to create an KDE icon. You can save the icon on your desktop (or anywhere else for that matter).
