I assume you talk about that dialog: http://en.opensuse.org/File:Printer_mschmidkunz_connectionwizard_tcp.png I am afraid, if I knew better names I would have used them. In general in yast2-printer dialogs, the topmost listed choice is what "usually should work" because the topmost listed choice is preselected by default in YaST dialogs so that when users do not know what to select, it "usually should work" to use the preselected choice, cf. "Manual Printer Configuration with the YaST Printer Module" at http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Printer The whole "printing in the network" setup is currently not well designed to work in a really end-user friendly way. The user is currently on his own to "somehow know what he must set up" and then he can do this setup with the YaST printer module using the so called "Connection Wizard" (which can of course not do any magic to help the user), cf. http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Printer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If a network printer cannot be autodetected by CUPS or when you like to print via a print server machine (e.g. when printing via a Windows or Samba server or when printing via a traditional Unix server), you have to specify the connection manually via the "Connection Wizard". Unfortunately its name is somehow inappropriate because there are neither "wizards" nor any other kind of obscure "magic" in the YaST printer module ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The issue is known and there is the open feature request "Fundamental re-design how to set up the whole printing stuff" https://features.opensuse.org/316789 and the other feature requests listed therein, in particular https://features.opensuse.org/313282 Accordingly I close your enhancement request as a known feature. -- 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.
