           Summary: add action for enable/disable a printer
           Product: kdeprint
           Version: 0.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kjobviewer
        AssignedTo: kde-print-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: m.koller surfeu at


Version:           0.1 (using KDE 3.4.91 (beta1, >= 20050910), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.3
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.7

There should be a menu option etc. to allow one to enable or disable a printer.

I have the common case that if the USB printer is not switched on when the PC boots, cups disables this printer.

A normal user (in this case the PC is a server for a network of only 2 users) has no chance to see that the printer is in fact disabled, nor can he solve the problem via kjobviewer.

So a possibility to let the user enable the printer again from within the nice GUI of kjobviewer is highly necessary.
