I had to reinstall my Linux OS (Mint) after some issues.
I have backups of my home folder, but when I reinstated that TurboPrint does not read the 'turboprint.cfg' file. I had to add my printer again, and the custom profiles I had painfully set up do not appear.
Apart from home>user>.turboprint where else should I look to recover my settings?
Thanks

How do I recover my configs from a previous install?

Hello,
the print queue definitions are stored in the file /etc/turboprint/turboprint.cfg, the profiles and page size definitions are located in the directory /usr/share/turboprint/profiles.
You can backup "turboprint.cfg" and the contents of the directory "profiles" and restore on your new system.
Then execute from a command line
sudo tpsetup --restore
to restore the CUPS print queues.
You might have to adjust the printer port configuration in TurboPrint Control (dialog "Edit") - select the printer again in the list "Choose port".

OK thanks
so not in the home folder (because that is the one I have a backup for).
Thanks
Feature request: allow the user to specify where the configs get saved, or have a config export button to allow a snapshot

OK, apologies I was a little angry there...
I found an old backup and restored according you your instructions... thank you.
I will ensure I have my root filesystem also backed up.
I am having some color issues - saturation is very low (not nozzles, as nozzle check is good). So I will troubleshoot and report back if I still have problems
