YaST only shows what CUPS detects. CUPS can finds only those network printers which are accessible in the local network and which respond to the usual SNMP queries. Those printers are listed when you run as root the CUPS snmp backend directly, e.g. on my workstion I get something like -------------------------------------------------------------------- root@host# /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp network socket://192.168.100.10 "HP Color LaserJet CP3505" ... network socket://192.168.100.20 "hp LaserJet 1320 series" ... -------------------------------------------------------------------- in short only those printers which are -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If it find NO CUPS then the assumption is there are no printers. Under the following conditions there are NO CPUS Servers, so hardware detection cannot find a Printer in any examples below 1. If I had 1 PC and 1 Printer Attached(NO LAN) - CUPS is *not* involved.The Print Driver supplies all the required info(PCL/Postscript) 2. If I have many PC's and the Printer has an IP for every other PC's to use, CUPS is also *not* involved as all Print Jobs are sent directly to the Printers IP. 3. CPUS Should only be involved when a printer is attached to a PC and that PC is running Print Servers that everyone can use via their PC. In this instance CUPS is involved 4. In the case where a LAN can print directly to a Printers IP address there is NO logic in sharing the device as every PC on the LAN can connect directly to the LAN Printers IP. 5. The 'Local Filtering' is very unclear in all text information. In cases 1,4 above the only use for local filtering is to allow/deny users access and its even muddier in 1 above. If a Single PC has a Physical Printer Attached, NO LAN, why is there a need for local filtering or sharing the connection - The PC in question is not part of a LAN. The Print Driver has been established and the printer requires no further information. (PCL/Postscript) If a Network Printer has its own IP and PC's can all print to that IP, there is nothing to be gained by sharing this connection, nor performing local filtering as ever PC that initiated a Print has the print driver defined (I.E PCL6) etc. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
