Description Opher Shachar 2009-01-12 10:23:49 UTC

Description of problem:
Hello,
I would like to suggest adding to 'lpadmin' the option to remove a printer attribute.
For example, as documented I can add a server side default page-top option:

   lpadmin -p MyPrinter -opage-top-default=24

But there is no way to remove this option with lpadmin.

To do that I have to use 'system-config-printer' GUI utility on our RHEL 5 box and this is far from convenient as we have (to date) 1712 printers (growing daily) and the tool takes 25 seconds to load.

Thanks,
Opher Shachar.

I've asked for this feature upstream.  If we add this feature it will need to be done in the same way as upstream i.e. same option name and behaviour.

RHEL-5.10 (the next RHEL-5 minor release) is going to be the first production phase 2 [1] release of RHEL-5.
Since phase 2 we'll be addressing only security and critical issues.
I'm closing this ticket as WONTFIX because this problem is neither security nor critical.
