>Anyone use any lp que management software.  

If you find any decent queue management software let me know,  I've looked for
*YEARS*.

All I want is a nice GTK (M$-Windows-esque) application that lets be pick a
queue, see the jobs, and cancel, hold, or release.  Promotion would be nice, but
I don't much care.  And works with stock RH LPRng.

It's looking like I'm going to have to write something myself, ick....

The bugger is how you do such a thing securely (minus kerberos).  The web server
runs as nobody or httpd,  does nobody o httpd have privilages to cancel, hold,
release, or promote print jobs?
