As a Guide can we start with something like the Questions. 1. Do you have a Printer attached to your PC that you alone print to> 2. Do you have a Printer attached to your PC AND others also use that Printer> 2. Do you have a Printer attached to another PC, which you want to Print to> 3.

The previously configured IP Printer and its printer name is not shown on the final blank printer configuration screen. However my IP Printer on the Network appears on all File/Print commands in all applications and the printers name also appears as was originally configured. The Printer functions perfectly! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

As no user of Opensuse 11.0 is running the correct time, and many like me, have significant clock drift message treading is out of the question. My clock drift is so bad I just get abused for top loading.

I have changed to use KDE3 Network Manager because of an outstanding bug makes it impossible to assign a static IP via IFUP. As I am using KDE3 Network Manager, Yast>Network Devices becomes inaccessible and so does any changes to hostnames. The only way to change Hostnames when Network Manager is used is via Yast>Network Services>Hostnames. I think at this point the /etc/hosts file will then corrupt as the Hostname is still a present in Yast>Network Devices but also remains inaccessible. If I wanted to change the Hostname the only way I can now do this is via Yast>Network Services>Hostnames. I did add another Hostname alias via this method, however the original Hostname is retained in Yast>Network Devices. The Hostname does not dynamically change to equal the Hostname in Yast>Network Devices if you use Yast>Network Services>Hostnames. The use of Network Manager, may prove to be a bigger issue in respect to Hostname than we ever thought when we decided to disabled Yast>Network Devices and thus lock the original Hostname we used at setup. In essence, if we use Network Manager, changing Hostnames via Network Services is a bit like a subservient authority trying to update Network Devices rather than the other way around. Our decision to lock Network Devices if Network Manager is used may prove to be very costly to system stability rather than just retaining Network Devices if Network Manager is used. When we get KDE4 Network Manager to work, I hope this Hostname issue will disappear but I dont think it will. With KDE4 Network Manager we will probably retain this hostname conflict - well that's when we get KDE4 Network Manager to actually work. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
