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?

Maybe copy the Printer Definitions....
