Since openSUSE 10.3 we have the new RPM "cups-autoconfig" which contains a utility for auto-configuring USB printers which is triggered by udev/HAL device events.
... Ok, I see two problems. 1) my original question, how to avoid the nuisance of being asked to configure the printer many times can be solved by removing the rpm. That's doable in my case. 2) The program itself segfault. As it is not part of the updgraded packages, then I see no problem reporting it in bugzilla so that whoever packages it (desktop team?) can check it. I think I will not remove the package till some time after I report, in case they want me to do some testing.
By default it disables/enables print queues when udev/HAL events appear that a USB printer is disconnected/connected. Its /etc/cups-autoconfig.conf contains by default:
Yes, I found that file. AFAIK, it is a global enable/disable, not just "such printer".
Debugging output is in /var/log/cups-autoconfig.log
Emtpy.
In openSUSE 10.3 it caused problems in particular for HP printers, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334166 but this should be fixed for openSUSE 11.0.
As I'm using 11.0, no, that's not my case.
In your case it loks more like the usual unreliability of the USB/HAL/whatever system.
Could be.
If you don't like what cups-autoconfig does (i.e. if you prefer that you control the print queues and not whatever automatism), uninstall the cups-autoconfig package and reboot (or restart HAL) to make HAL aware of its changed config files, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218393#c28
For some background information, see http://code.google.com/p/cups-autoconfig/
On the end, I will remove the rpm, probably. But meanwhile, I think it is better I keep it to report on problems ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
