Comments on: Printer Applet and KStatusNotifierItem http://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/2010/02/02/printer-applet-and-kstatusnotifieritem/ My blog about Kubuntu and KDE-ish things Mon, 20 May 2013 12:49:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: David http://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/2010/02/02/printer-applet-and-kstatusnotifieritem/#comment-2492 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 19:55:02 +0000 http://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/?p=151#comment-2492 I hope this is the proper place for my comment.

The printer applet in Kubuntu 11.04 has columns for showing User, Document, and Printer.

On my systems it shows “Unknown” for user and “Document.”

The Printer column is blank, (empty).

I wish to set it so that jobs are kept and I can view the completed ones and re-print when needed.

But unless I can at least get the Document name to dismay, the printer-applet isn’t gonna cut the mustard. It would be nice if is showed the user and printer names.

I have Kubuntu in a small office I am expanding at home on 5 machines.

I will be doing print shop type printing, anticipating lots of reprinting.

I have come from a Windows/Corel Draw/Illustrator type world with Roland Cutters and printers.

Can’t afford Windows….Adobe….Illustator….Roland.

So its gonna be inkscape, sk1 gimp, tc cutters and Chinese printers.

But goodness what a leap.

Suggestions? Words of Wisdom? Curse words?

Suggestions for a WYSIWYP type app, or something with side by side previews in the KDE world or just some make like easier printer tools?

How do I prevent the printer applet to start on login?

Thanks

Is it possible to only start this applet when I print something? Because every time I login, this applet loads and it uses ~20 MB memory. With Karmic and KDE 4.3 it only started when I printed something.

I’ve been talking to Ridell cause I’m working on a C++ version of these things, it adds less than 1mb to kded process and is quite nice, as soon as kded 4.4 is out I want to create the systray icon with the new notification icon, I’ll put this code on playground and if you are interested in porting your changes to there it will be very nice :D
