Does anyone know of a good module...or, has anyone actually written a script that I can gleen from...to be able to print reports to a printer, query/set the printer for information (like maybe the loaded stock or portrait/landscape, etc...) and query the queue for certain information (like job status, etc...)? I really just need this on a Linux system...but, anything cross-platform would be even better!

Thanks in advance!!!
 
Have you searched CPAN?

Yes, I did. I found a couple things that might work...I was just wondering if others used the ones on CPAN (and, if so, how useful was it), or if they just wrote their own "printer management system".
