[Bug 424151] New: Instead of installing hplip YaST tells me that my HP Laserjet 1018 is not supported
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=424151 Summary: Instead of installing hplip YaST tells me that my HP Laserjet 1018 is not supported Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: jsmeix@novell.com ReportedBy: sven.burmeister@gmx.net QAContact: jsmeix@novell.com Found By: --- When I plug-in my Laser Jet 1018 nothing happens, I'd expect something like "so you want to configure your printer". If I open YaST's printer module and try to configure the printer, the module is not chosen automatically. If I want to select it manually I am told: "Dieser Drucker wird von openSUSE nicht unterstützt. Informationen zu unterstützten und nicht unterstützten Druckern finden Sie in der jeweiligen Produktdokumentation. Wenn der Drucker so eingestellt werden kann, dass er eine Standarddruckersprache (PostScript, PCL oder ESC/P) unterstützt, kann er als ein solcher Druckertyp konfiguriert werden. Erkundigen Sie sich beim Druckerhersteller, ob dieses Modell eine Standarddruckersprache direkt verarbeiten kann (nicht über Treiberemulation) und wie Sie den Drucker in den Modus für die Standarddruckersprache versetzen können, beispielsweise mithilfe eines zusätzlichen PostScript-Moduls." Translated this basically means that my printer is not supported, which is of course true, because hplip is not installed, just hpijs-standalone. Hence I have to install hplip manually, which should not be necessary. After installing it the printer-module still does not pick the correct model, neither does it pick or offer the correct connection (hplip). [BTW, the pop-up foor selecting the connection is far too small] Clicking on the "connection wizard" does not do anything either. I will use the command-line tools provided by hp-lip to install the printer, yet I wonder how users that do not know what to look for are supposed to set-up their printer. -- 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.

Hence YaST tells the user that there is a dependecy conflict and asks what to do. I guess that setting the hplip package to replace the hpijs-standalone one makes more sense. This is e.g. done for some packages from packman, installing one, automatically removes the other (xine-lib <-> libxine1). -- 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.
