27.14. Switching Print Systems

To switch printing systems, run the Printer System Switcher application. Start it by selecting the Main Menu Button (on the Panel) => System Settings => More System Settings => Printer System Switcher, or type the command redhat-switch-printer at a shell prompt (for example, in an XTerm or GNOME terminal).

Figure 27-20. If X is not detected, it starts in a text-based mode. To force it to run in as a text-based application, use the command redhat-switch-printer-nox.

Select either the LPRng or the CUPS printing system. In Red Hat Linux 9, CUPS is the default. If you only have one printing system installed, it is the only option shown.

If you select OK selected print daemon is started, and the other print daemon is stopped; thus making the changes take place immediately.
