Printer applet for the taskbar?

Post by xmanore »

Howdy,

I've been happily running LXLE/LXDE for a few months now. In the course of tweaking, tweaking, tweaking, one thing I miss is some kind of print manager and/or printer job status/notification on my task bar.

I've searched high and low, found things similar to:

https://github.com/linux-man/cinnamon-printers

[img]<blockquote%20class="imgur-embed-pub"%20lang="en"%20data-id="a/NCWLqs3"><a%20href="//imgur.com/a/NCWLqs3"></a></blockquote><script%20async%20src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js"%20charset="utf-8"></script>[/img]

...but apparently that isn't available for this desktop.

Would anyone out in the Ether know of a similar applet available for LXDE?

Many thanks.

Of course you need to install CUPS first, then one of the three tools listed.
I do not recommend the KDE tool, it will pull in too many dependencies.
I have no personal experience with this, so will have to figure out how these applications work.
I hope one of them provides a systray applet.
