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. |
