https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441416 Summary: new YaST printer module totally broken Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta4 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: danielstefanmader@web.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- When a new YaST printer module was announced for 11.1, I was extraordinary happy about that: the new KDE4 has close to zero support for printing in the current status and thus the only way to set up printers for KDE users would be a corresponding YaST module. Yet, I find this new dialog very confusing and I am unable to configure something as simple as an IPP or TCP network printer. This has been horrible enough with the old YaST module, to the point that it was unusable for non-sophisticated users — and it seems to me it is now even more confusing. Seriously, the wizard is a joke! Please provide a convenient scan function or the like, and don't let the user have to worry about the syntax of the printer URL, plus, a reasonalbe preselection of drivers for the found printer model (yes, they really do answer with a description of what printer type they are, those thingies in year 2008). Sorry for the rant, but I think that new tool does not justify any minute put into it. We would be better of with the old one, imho. -- 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.
