I was wondering if anyone knows of any PD software out there for con-
trolling the UNIX print spooler, that has a friendly user interface.
What I need is a piece of software that can be run on a spare terminal
that will allow users that cannot log in to the UNIX system, but can
print jobs on the UNIX printer via a network, to see what's currently
in the print queue, cancel a job that's in the print queue, and enable
or disable the print spooler.  I'm looking for something a little more
than just a simple menuing system providing access to lpstat, cancel,
enable, etc.

Does such a beast exist?????

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

PS: running ISC2.2 SVR3.2
