If we want to support print-servers with lots of connected printers then a more reasonable solution could be one list, but with optional filters for local/remote/any/whatever (which would be even more flexible for admins).
Yes, we also thought about that. The point why we dropped it: * as you can't add/edit/delete a remote queue there would be different buttons needed for each queue type. This might potentially confuse the user
I'm confused, why I'm not able to delete a remote queue? Meaning, I must have added it before, right?
* if you want to add a new queue you therefore would have click on a local queue to get an add button. This seemed quite unlogical to me.
Well, the current solution might be OK, having Add/Configure/Delete where Add would popup a list with possibilities.
Moreover, as I have few local printers and few remote I'd still like to see them all at one place, to have a nice overview.
Yes, I agree with you. The point is, that we don't know whether the user has only a few printer or whether he uses the module in a SLES environment.
I might be insane but I'd like to have a possibility to see everything at once :-) Filters might help here ("limit view to only" Local etc), but it's just an idea, let's see what others think.
And in addition, I could then reasonably select the Default printer, which I'm not sure is easily doable in multi-list/tab design :)
:-) Is it technically possible to select a remote queue as "default printer"?
I believe yes. Thanks, Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
