Hi Benji,

Looks quite tiny :-)
But seriously: the mock up is copies exactly the design we want to get
rid of. That is that CUPS settings are hidden behind an "Other" button.

Not yet. The point is that this needs to/should be decided by involving
others (e.g. docu, product management,...) So at first we want to make a
nice design and then we can discuss the wording.

If means that there is a sentence which explains possible actions to the
user. The possible actions are highlighted by buttons.
In fact it is a mesh up of buttons and help text :-)


Cu,
