This is built-in in CUPS via the snmp backend, see http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.4/ref-snmp-conf.html The default content of snmp.conf is -------------------------------------------------------------- Address @LOCAL Community public -------------------------------------------------------------- so that all network printers in the local network which can be detected via a "public" SNMP community are autodetected by CUPS. All connections of autodetected printers are available in YaST without using complicated stuff like the "Connection Wizard". Initially only connections for locally connected autodetected printers are shown in YaST. To show also connections for autodetected network printers you would have to click just [More Connections]. Unfortunately network printer autodetection in CUPS does currently not work because of bug #449570. As a workaround do chown root:lp /etc/cups/snmp.conf For the rest of all those complaints here without useful information for us how to reproduce your issues so that we can of course not fix it, see in particular bug #446432 how to make a really useful and helpful bug report for us which we can of course fix. Additionally see bug #442247 and bug #440903, in particular https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440903#c16 I close this bunch of complaint as invalid bug report. I appreciate if you test yast2-printer 2.17.46 see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440903#c16 and make useful bug reports like bug #446432 to help me to make yast2-printer as good as possible. -- 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.
