The "hp-setup" stuff is available intentionally regardless of what is autodetected or selected in yast2-printer. Reason: Assume there is a non-HP USB printer connected and there is a WiFi network printer from HP. USB printers are autodetected but WiFi network printers are usually not autodetected. The first autodetected printer is selected by default so that the USB printer would be selected in yast2-printer. Because the WiFi network printer from HP is not autodetected it does not exist from CUPS' and yast2-printer's point of view. There is no way in yast2-printer to get HP's WiFi network printer selected (with reasonable effort - there is a complicated manual way how an expert could achieve it - practically it is useless). But HP's own hp-setup tool can be used to setup even WiFi network printers from HP. See the help text for the "Add New Printer Configuration" dialog: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- An alternative way to set up HP devices is to 'run hp-setup'. HP's own tool 'hp-setup' provides setup support in particular for HP printers and HP all-in-one devices which require a proprietary driver plugin to be downloaded from HP and installed in the right way on a particular end-user's system. Furthermore 'hp-setup' can provide better setup support for HP network printers and HP all-in-one network devices because HP's own tool can implement special handling for special HP network devices. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Therefore "hp-setup" must be available to be run in any case regardless of what is autodetected or selected in yast2-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.
