Printer Operation
Modifying Options
YaST allows certain options to be activated by default during the installa-
tion. These options can be modified for every print job (depending on the
print tool used) or specified later (e.g., with YaST).
Using command-line tools, this can be done as follows:
1. First, list all options:
lpoptions -p <queue> -l
Example:
Resolution/Output Resolution: 150dpi *300dpi 600dpi 1200dpi
2. The activated default option is evident from the preceding asterisk
(*).
3. Change the option with lpadmin:
lpadmin -p <queue> -o Resolution=600dpi
4. Check the new setting:
lpoptions -p <queue> -l
Resolution/Output Resolution: 150dpi 300dpi *600dpi 1200dpi
13.6 Special Features in SUSE LINUX
13.6.1 Administration with the Web Front-End (CUPS)
To use the administration with the web front-end (CUPS) or the printer ad-
ministration tool (KDE), the user root must be set up as CUPS administra-
tor with the CUPS administration group sys and a CUPS password. This
can be done as root with the following command:
lppasswd -g sys -a root
If this is not done, administration with the web interface or with the ad-
ministration tool is not possible, because the authentication fails if no CUPS
administrator has been configured. Instead of root, any other user can also
be appointed as CUPS administrator (see Section 13.6.2 on the following
page).
