Comment # 3 on bug 1220520 from Stefan Hundhammer
We do not maintain this module.

It has a very special structure of its own, relying mostly on very long
pipelines of shell commands (including for things that have better counterparts
in all interpreted languages; like 'grep' or 'sed' and whatnot). Because of
that, it was always hard to maintain and very difficult to debug.

If this would be really needed by any paying customer with a maintenance
contract, we'd have to rewrite it from scratch; anything else would be just
burying new landmines.

But in this day and age, there is really no need for a YaST module for printing
anymore anyway. Every single one of the major desktops has much simpler and
more intuitive tools for setting up a printer; be it KDE Plasma, GNOME or Xfce,
or all their derivatives.

In addition to that, there is the CUPS web UI. And in a corporate environment
printers are administered centrally.

YaST printer has been factually dead for a long time. May it rest in peace.
