[Bug 1220520] Configure remote printer: does not disable local cups entirely
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1220520 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1220520#c3 --- Comment #3 from Stefan Hundhammer <shundhammer@suse.com> --- We do not maintain this module. It has a very special structure of its own, relying mostly on very long pipelines of shell commands (including for things that have better counterparts in all interpreted languages; like 'grep' or 'sed' and whatnot). Because of that, it was always hard to maintain and very difficult to debug. If this would be really needed by any paying customer with a maintenance contract, we'd have to rewrite it from scratch; anything else would be just burying new landmines. But in this day and age, there is really no need for a YaST module for printing anymore anyway. Every single one of the major desktops has much simpler and more intuitive tools for setting up a printer; be it KDE Plasma, GNOME or Xfce, or all their derivatives. In addition to that, there is the CUPS web UI. And in a corporate environment printers are administered centrally. YaST printer has been factually dead for a long time. May it rest in peace. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
