NAME

system-config-printer-applet - print job manager  

SYNOPSIS

system-config-printer-applet [--no-tray-icon]
 

DESCRIPTION

system-config-printer-applet

is a print job manager for CUPS. Normally it will display a printer icon in the notification area, greyed out when there are no print jobs for the current user. Clicking on the icon displays a simple print job manager for cancelling or reprinting jobs.

To save memory, the applet waits first of all until the user has printed a job before putting the icon in the notification area. To invoke the print job manager before a job has been printed, run the applet with the --no-tray-icon option: a desktop file is provided for this, so that it should appear in the system menu.

As well as displaying a printer icon in the notification area, the applet also provides a D-BUS server for the com.redhat.PrintDriverSelection interface, to help configure a new printer when it is plugged in.  

OPTIONS

--help

Display a short usage message.

--version

Display the version of the applet.

--no-tray-icon

Do not display an icon in the notification area. Quit when the job manager window is closed.
