| 198 | | Installing Psyco is not mandatory, but it will speedup PCL5 parsing |
| 199 | | by almost 3 times. PostScript and PDF parsing can also benefit, |
| 200 | | but in an almost unnoticeable manner since this part of the code |
| 201 | | is already optimal. For PCL5 this is a completely different matter, |
| 202 | | and if you install Psyco you will never regret it ! |
| 203 | | Same remark applies for PCL6 (aka PCLXL) : the parser is completely |
| 204 | | different, but the performance gain with Psyco is impressive. |
| 205 | | |
| 206 | | You may also benefit from having the following tools installed to |
| 207 | | deal with some printers : |
| 208 | | |
| 209 | | - npadmin |
| 210 | | - netcat |
| 211 | | - ghostscript |
| | 197 | Installing Psyco is not mandatory, but may really speed the parsing |
| | 198 | of some print jobs. |
| 518 | | Additionnal tools : |
| 519 | | ------------------- |
| 520 | | |
| 521 | | Some people have developped tools around PyKota, and make |
| 522 | | them available under the GNU General Public License : |
| 523 | | |
| 524 | | - Kanakorn Horsiritham developped phpPykotaAdmin which is |
| 525 | | a web based database independant administrative GUI, |
| 526 | | written in PHP. |
| 527 | | |
| 528 | | http://opensource.psu.ac.th/~kanakorn/mambo/ |
| 529 | | |
| 530 | | He was also kind enough to write an installation guide |
| 531 | | in english for CUPS and PyKota with phpPykotaAdmin on Fedora |
| 532 | | Core 3. You'll find this document on the same website. |
| 533 | | |
| 534 | | This great software currently at version 0.3 is a wonderful |
| 535 | | basis for an administrative GUI since it only depends on |
| 536 | | PyKota commands to be present to successfully manage |
| 537 | | PyKota's database. |
| 538 | | |
| 539 | | However this tool is very old now and doesn't work |
| 540 | | with more recent versions of PyKota. It could be |
| 541 | | a good starting point if you planned to develop such |
| 542 | | a web user interface though. |
| 543 | | |
| 544 | | Additionnal software will be listed here when they will be |
| 545 | | ready. |
