I hope it's not the case or the Leap one is not this, because it's a big mess.
This machine is on 42.1. I configured my Brother IP printer using YaST2 without incident, as I had with 13.1. Today I tried to do the same thing, exactly, but on a different machine, also 42.1, but with Plasma5 instead of KDE3. Everything seems to go normally, but nothing happens trying to print a test page.
Well, that's exactly why I configure Printers via CUPS directly for years now. CUPS is the backend, and it has its own GUI. The YaST printer module was very useful in the old days, when lpd (which had no config help other than the man page) was used, but nowadays it's quite superfluous, I think.
So, I deleted the printer in YaST2, and tried to use CUPS to add a printer. In the KDE menu there are two menu options for CUPS, both labeled "Manage Printing", but both generate "KDEInit could no launch 'deskop-launch': Cannot load library /usr/lib64/libkdeinit5_desktop-launch.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory." How does one use cups to add a printer in Plasma 5? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
