See the comments in /usr/share/YaST2/modules/Printer.ycp --------------------------------------------------------------------------- // The cups-client RPM is the minimum requirement // for accessing remote CUPS servers via a "client-only" config. // Therefore abort (return false) if cups-client is not installed: .. // The cups RPM ist the default requirement // for accessing remote CUPS servers via CUPS Browsing // and it is the minimum requirement for local print queues. // Therefore try to install cups but because for a "client-only" config // only cups-client is required, proceed even if cups is not installed: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For background information see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell in particular the section about "Intrinsic design of CUPS for printing in the network" yast2-printer is first of all intended for non-expert users. Therefore it guides the user to the usual CUPS installation. But it does not inforce it so that an expert user who knows what he does can nevertheless work through all of the pop-ups and eventually set up a so called "client-only" configuration, see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell "Configuration of the clients" -> "Special cases" In your special case I recommend not to use yast2-printer but simply call only its helper script as root /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/cups_client_only remote_cups_server which sets "ServerName remote_cups_server" in /etc/cups/client.conf or you enter this manually in /etc/cups/client.conf so that you could also remove the yast2-printer RPM from your client systems. -- 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.
