I'm just about to upgrade a 10.1 system to 10.3, this system runs LTSP and each terminal has it's own printer. With 10.1 it is possible to choose a name for the printers, therefore they can be described by their location. With 10.3 yast uses the name of the driver and there is no way within Yast to change the name.

I see the same dialog in YaST as ever??

OK, Yes you're right, forgot I was calling up printer config from control center and not yast. Oh well just goes to show that we are succeeding in aping M$, multiple ways of doing something but each does it in it's own way. dhc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Then don't use yast, use cups.

Well really I'd prefer to use vi and edit the configs directly, but normal users may not be aware that the first "Printers" icon they see in control center is not the one they really want but they must move down the page click on "yast" and become root and voila another "Printers" icon.

I was not refering to the command line, but to http://localhost:631/

by the way, in the pre-cups times I always used command line, but cups config files are not that friendly it's a general evolution of linux, hal files are not friendly neither jdd -- Jean-Daniel Dodin Président du CULTe www.culte.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you set up the system properly in the first place, the users have no business doing that sort of thing. That's a super user (admin) responsibility, not a user responsibility(*) ....even in Windows. (*) Especially in a "public-usage" set up like LTSP. The last thing you need is one user screwing everything up for the others. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
