YAST2 will NOT find the queue name because the 'named' printer is on a
different machine....... Are you expecting it to give you a list of
printers on your network? Won't happen. It wouldn't even find a networked
printer if it was next to your desk. It doesn't work that way.
For any printer that is not directly connected to your machine (par. port,
usb, etc) YAST2 isn't going to know a thing about it. You are going to
have to tell YAST2 where and what the printer is and tell it how to connect
to it. See previous emails as to how to do that.
