printtool

Tk-based printer configuration tool with auto detection.

printconf

This is a command line tool for printer auto detection and configuring with CUPS. I like to mention it because it is a great command based tool. This package detects printers attached to the parallel or USB ports and automatically establishes printer queues using Foomatic for those printers. These queues can be managed using the CUPS web interface at http://localhost:631/
