Hi people,

I'd like to announce improved (I hope ;-)) UI in yast2-printer module. You probably know old interface. Many options was accessible via several clicks and for new users some of them wasn't easy to understand. I wrote some screenshots here: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Printer and now is mostly implemented in yast2-printer version >= 2.16.4

So this mail is a "call for testing", but also your comments or other kind of feedback is important for me. When you check rpm from factory does it work for you with all functionality? Do you like this UI or would you like to change something? From the screenshots I like it a lot more than the old one. But looking at http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/3/3c/Printer_module03.png I am wondering how to use the "reset to default"?

Why is it a radiobox? I would expect a button ...

greetings Felix Möller

Ah, in fact this one tab is not implemented yet ;-) Instead of it there is "CUPS server" configuration dialog, but in future it will be changed. This new tab will be probably compatible with similar CUPS webinterface page (sorry, can't find screenshot) On that screenshot you can't see usual "Finish" button which write all configuration. Also when you leave tab or press "Edit cupsd.conf", any change is write into memory.

if you plan to rewrite the oprinter ui, be aware (if not yet :-) that the options are very criptic - nearly unintelligible. for example, the menu in cups server gives for first choice recommended a choice that prevent using a local printer. Many people have an inkjet copor printer *and* a net laser hardcopy printer, so this option won't work as serching for the server usually don't work (I have seen it work only for a hp jetdirect server, not for any opensuse box!), it's quite confusing. but probably it's just a vocabulary problem... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2007/10/27/127022-Claire-Dodin-une-Toulousai... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

It's partly done, submited in factory, but not build yet. And this is also reason why I rewrote it - to be intuitive as possible and clean to understand.

I see you're right person to test that new design ;-) and comment it when it will be available in factory.

as serching for the server usually don't work (I have seen it work only for a hp jetdirect server, not for any opensuse box!), it's quite confusing.

Maybe our CUPS experts can solve that ... Bye, Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

If you are looking for a "screenshot" of the CUPS webinterface, use http://localhost:631/admin/ and see the "Basic Server Settings:" ;-)

Michal, couldn't you use the openSUSE build service to make it available even for openSUSE 10.3 (i.e. so that it matches exactly to the YaST base system in openSUSE 10.3) which could result much more people who like to try it out?

It's available in factory, so you can test it now. Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
