https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=378248 Summary: let yast2-printer always use the hp backend for HP devices Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Alpha 3 Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: mzugec@novell.com ReportedBy: jsmeix@novell.com QAContact: jsmeix@novell.com Found By: Development Since hplip version 2.8.4 there are no longer any daemons. The hp backend is just a normal backend. Therefoere there is no longer any reason not to use it if the hp backend has autodetected the device. This condition makes sure that the hplip package is installed (otherwise there is no hp backend) and additionally it makes sure the hp backend works for the device (otherwise it would not autodetect it). yast2-printer can now ignore data/hp_all_in_one_model_list and use the hp backend for any device which it autodetects. By the way: yast2-printer could also use "hp-probe -busb" and "hp-probe -bpar" to autodetect HP USB and parallel port devices and "hp-probe -bnet" to autodetect HP network printers and network all-in-one devices. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
