Hi all,

I posted this to the CUPS forums, but no-one had an answer unfortunately.
Hopefully I may have more luck here!

I am guessing this is quite an easy one, but my Googling has resulted
unfavourably.

Basically, I have CUPS on an old Mandrake Linux system, which when accessing
the printer list from the HTML front-end, displays all the system printers
on one page. Also displaying in a small font size.

On a new RedHat system I have began using, the HTML pages display only 10
printers per page, and in a larger font.

Can someone guide me to which config files I can edit to configure the
RedHat CUPS HTML to look more similar to my old Mandrake box? The
/etc/cups/* files doen't seem to hold the info.

Thanks in advance.

EJ

I trust the Mandrake system is not accessible from the net.

Mandrake was renamed Mandriva. See

Without digging through the source for cups, I appears to be using the
files from /usr/share/cups/templates (at least, in Mandriva).

Font size is normally handled by your desktop configuration tools,
KDE or GNOME. One more place to look if you don't find what you want
in a cups/ subdirectory.

Thanks guys,

I will have a nose around.

There isn't a desktop installed onto the Mandrake box that I know of, as
it's just a business system server, and in answer to David W.Hodgins
question, it is indeed hidden from the internet, behind two separate
firewalls.

Thanks again for your input.

Best Regards,

EJ
