The Printer Administration module may behave somewhat differently under different operating systems, as printer driver details and configuration often varies between systems, and even between Linux distributions. Nonetheless, Webmin minimizes the differences between systems, and these directions work more or less unchanged.
Clicking the Add a new printer link opens a page where you can configure a new printer. TheNa me field is an arbitrary name for the printer. Conventionally, lp or lp0 are often used for the first printer, but you can name it anything. TheDescrip tion can be a longer description of the printer. Accepting requests simply sets whether the printer should be available, and Printing enabled defines whether it is enabled for printing (the queue can still receive requests with this turned off if the previous option is still on).Max
The next section is Print Destination, where you define the device type (Local, file, remote Unix, or remote Windows). Many standalone network printers support standard Unix LP functionality in addition to Windows printer sharing. If your printer is local, choose the port to use, and if it is a remote printer, enter the IP or Hostname for the host
Finally, the third section of the page is for configuring the driver for your printer. If your printer is a simple text printer, or a Postscript printer, the top selection is probably right for you. The second option is for a program to handle printer control. This could be a custom print driver for your printer, or one of a couple of competing commercial and non-commercial printer packages. Finally, if your system provides them, there will be a list of available drivers. This section, on Red Hat systems, is a frontend to the GhostScript printer drivers that come standard with Red Hat. It's quite likely that your system will have its own set of drivers, or a front end, much like that of Red Hat.
The Send EOF option is for some printers that require an explicit EOF to be sent after every page before they will print. If your printer acts as though it is preparing to print, but never does (for example, if the busy light flashes), try turning this option on.Pa per
allows you to conserve paper by printing multiple pages on a single page of paper. This option will arrange the text in rows and columns. These rows and columns can be further configured, as well as numerous other options (too many to begin to discuss here), in the next field, Additional GS options. You may wish to consult themanpagesfor GhostScript, as well as those forlp,lpd, andlpr, to find out more about the printer capabilties of your system. You can, of course, view these man pages in the Webmin
Opentracker.net provides the ability to share your statistics with other people. You can do this by creating extra users within your account. After you create new users, you can manage them by giving every user unique privileges in the form of access to individual site stats.
As well as setting staff privileges, User Management allows you the possibility to give temporary or permanent access to potential clients, consultants, colleagues who tele-commute, etc.
There are three types of Opentracker user-status; Adminstrators, super users and normal users.Adminstrators can create or delete users, create tracked sites and administer priveledges on a per site basis. Super users can create or delete users for sites they have priveledge to. Normal users can only view site statistics.
At the moment there is no limit to how many users you can create, but Opentracker.net reserves the right to set a limit if we deem this necessary. If you are the owner of a major sports club and you want to create used id's for all your fans, please ccontact us prior to doing so.
