8 | <filename>pkhint</filename> is an experimental command designed with the goal to |
---|
9 | help you find the best <application>PyKota</application> settings for each of your |
---|
10 | printers. |

13 | <para> |
---|
14 | Currently <filename>pkhint</filename> only recognizes <application>CUPS</application>' <filename>printers.conf</filename> |
---|
15 | file format, but <application>LPRng</application>' <filename>printcap</filename> file format support will be added |
---|
16 | in the future. |

19 | <para> |
---|
20 | <filename>pkhint</filename> accepts optional printers names as its arguments, and reads your printing system's |
---|
21 | printers configuration file from stdin. Then it launches different tests to see if your printers supports |
---|
22 | some special features which would allow you to use either hardware or software accounting on them, with |
---|
23 | a preference for hardware since it's more reliable. If it can help you, it will print some text which |
---|
24 | you will be able to copy and paste into <filename>~pykota/pykota.conf</filename>. |

---|
30 | Because <filename>pkhint</filename> is still a work in progress, don't expect it to allow you |
---|
31 | to fully configure <application>PyKota</application> for you. You'll still have to double |
---|
32 | check that your configuration is correct. |
