Default Manage printers on AIX 5.2

I'm running AIX 5.2 ML-3 and SAP R/3 4.6C / BW 3.1 and DB2 on my RS/6000
systems.
I have 186 print-queues on my system and I want to be able to manage these
queques on an easy way.
I tried PrintPro, but that does not work right with my SAP R/3 or BW
applications.
Anyone any ideas?
I tried to build a web-based tool using PHP, but I can't get PHP to list and
modify print-jobs and queques.


Thank you.

R. Boers

Define what you mean by "manage these queues in an easy way". Do you
mean using a character based interface? GUI? Web Based? Certainly all
these things exist.

See websm (/usr/websm/bin/wsm) for the standard AIX methods, or you may
want to look into the CUPS administration module for webmin for a
different web based printer management tool (requires minimal tweeking
for AIX).

Try looking at CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) and if you want
something commercial take a look a USpool at www.unicomp.com
