The printtool allows you to configure a direct connection to a printer on your local network. However in the script installed in the printer pool directory it calls a script from rhs-printfilters called direct which is not present. Therefore this type of printer connection fails.
No. It calls a script called 'directprint' which is present, unless of course you upgrade to something that doesn't have it, like the new printconf.
From Email: I am confused. I do not find a rpm on the rh 6.5 distribution with the directprint script. I don't see any rpm's named "printconf" either. I see printtool-3.44-1 which does not contain a directprint script. It calls directprint. ie what rpm is directprint contained in ???? Larry K. Brown
My mistake. Yes, 7.0 is the first time we actually shipped the directprint file. It was a bug found last summer. You could upgrade to the newest release, or, baring that, download the srpm package for rhs-printfilters for 7.1 and pull the directprint file out of it.
