This is the README-file from tixlpq 0.3.11 !
Hello, this is my first programm that i wrote in Tcl/Tk and Tix. Don't be strict with me, the code is a little bit ugly (i think it).
My english is verry bad, i work on this, SORRY.
WHAT IS TIXLPQ ?
This program should be a simple interface for lpq and lpc.
- INSTALL
Please read INSTALL!
-if you use SPAIN in the $LANG look at the file BUGS !!!!!!
Last I fixed a "bigbug" if you use tixlpq on slowly machines with short updatetime. There is the time whitch the System need for updating of all printers bigger then the default autoupdatetime. The bug was, that the updatefunction call the updatefunction, call the ...., and the system gets more and more jobs. So i made a lock for this. BUT be CAREFULLY, when you use a slowly machine with many printerentrys in printcap (e.g. >25).
Make the update with hand by button "update" or set the autoudate-time not to small.
Therefore the applicationsdefaults:
-autoupdatetime is 20s
-autoupdate: off
-default printer: first entry in the printcap
Hint: If there are not all entries form the spooler displayed, look in the
source from lpr. In the file lpr/common_source/displayq.c are defined
three lines:
#define JOBCOL 40 /* column for job # in -l format */
#define OWNCOL 7 /* start of Owner column in normal */
#define SIZCOL 62 /* start of Size column in normal */
Change the value (if you like it) and recompile lpr.
