The question with such a minimal printing locally stack on a LiveCD is that the drivers in cups-drivers - provide only basic support for many printers - many current inkjet printer models are not explicitely listed via PPDs in cups-drivers so that the user must manually find and select a compatible model - for several current inkjet printer models there is no driver in cups-drivers so that it cannot work to find and select a compatible model in cups-drivers which may lead to long and frustrating and hopeless attempts by the user to find and select a compatible model in cups-drivers until the user finally gives up In the end the printing experience might be poor or annoying so that the user might pubish a negative statement like "openSUSE sucks because it doesn't print". Additionally yast2-printer might be nice to have ;-) see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492690#c3 --------------------------------------------------------------- I just tried to add the printer again from YaST. It offered me the Omni driver, so I clicked on "add driver", removed Omni, and added Gutenprint plus the normal PostSript driver. Eventually it said that PostScript was the recommended one; I chose that one and printing works now. --------------------------------------------------------------- -- 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.
