Additionally a generic solution can also not be implemented because it is not possible to test on the local host if remote access via port 631 TCP/UDP would be allowed (there is no replacement for "ipchains --check"). Finally any kind of firewall check would not make much sense because the user could first set up printing with firewall settings which allow printing so that the check would have a positive result but later he may change the firewall so that printing does no longer work. Therefore in the end all I could do was to add at least generic static notification texts regarding firewall directly in the dialogs and I added also explanatory help texts regarding firewall so that the users are at least informed what to do manually regarding firewall. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
