PM Printer Manager

PM Printer Manager Version 0.81 Printer Manager is a new graphical printer management tool designed to replace several older, separate programs by integrating their functions in one, centralized utility: - INSTPDR.EXE (done) - ECSPRINT.EXE (done) - CUPSWIZ.EXE (not yet implemented) INSTALLATION Requirements: - VROBJ.DLL (widely available) - WPTOOLS.DLL (widely available) - PR1UTIL.DLL (widely available) - VROBJEX.DLL (available from http://trac.netlabs.org/vxapps) - RXPRTUTL.DLL (included here) This program also uses a number of CUPS tools if CUPS is installed. It may work on systems without CUPS (or it may not); this has not been tested. Place the contents of the ZIP file into any directory, and create a program object for PRINTMAN.EXE. Make sure the first three DLLs listed above are installed on your system (via the LIBPATH). KNOWN PROBLEMS/LIMITATIONS At the moment, choosing to create a printer causes Printer Manager to just launch the appropriate external printer wizard and then exit. Eventually this should all be handled by Printer Manager itself. If the CUPS server (local or remote) requires password authentication for the use of commands like lpadmin, lpinfo, etc. then these programs will block waiting for a password during various operations. (There doesn't seem to be any way to fix this other than replacing the programs entirely... I'm still looking at possible solutions.) There is no help file.
