Printer Management Page / List All Printers

[Joe Gill]

Is their a way to suppress what’s shown on the “List All Printers” management page? The character strings for the path and the name are huge in my case. The most useful thing for us is the IP and name. I can look at individual printers to see what inf files have been installed. Thanks!!

Cheers,

Joe

That is the path for the inf file and the model name not name of printer…

I don’t understand the question.

If it’s what I read, it sounds like you’re wanting to show a lesser number of fields on the printer list? I’m pretty sure that it shows all information, so what you’re asking is a little odd, at least in how I’m reading it.

In either case, here’s a good time to learn about hooks and how they work. You can suppress information almost how you see fit, where you see fit.

@Tom-Elliott

Tom you are exactly right. I’m looking to suppress some fields. So if hooks is the way to do it, than I need to learn more.

Is their a config file where this information is stored? Or can I do it from the web interface?

Thanks!

@Joe-Gill It’s likely in multiple php files, spread out somewhat in /var/www/html/fog somewhere.

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman nope. It is in a single file. printermanagementpage.class.php but hooks are very simple

Thanks! I’ll take a look see. I found the Wiki on Hooks. I’ve worked with PHP before in the past but it’s been many many versions ago.
