And even if I accept all those packages (without I actually know what the packages do), it would have no harm...?
My printer Samsung ML-1610, was not detected (still not getting detected) and I am not able to take the prints.. What should I do? When to Yast and tried for detection but that doesn't help..
Like any number of time/life management books will tell you, deal with one thing at a time. Get your updates working and the necessary repositories set up. There's no point complaining abut what can't be done if you don't have the up to date software. As for printers, you need to get CUPS working and you need the definition package for your printer. You should have this in a CD that came with the printer; that was the case for my printers. -- Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth, more than ruin, more even than death. . . .
