But there is no guarantee that it finds any printers. It is only a best effor attempt which depends on the particular network if and what it finds. Not that we cannot use tools like "nmap" to scan in the network because unfortunately many customers and users think that nmap is an evil network-intrusion-hacker-tool. Therefore when it does not work in your particular network, you can only enter the data manually (or use some "evil network-intrusion-hacker-tools" on your own ;-) FYI: In this case YaST runs the following code in /usr/share/YaST2/include/printer/connectionwizard.ycp with port=9100 by default: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- void scanForServers( symbol selected, boolean all ) .. if( all ) { ... hosts = (list<string>)SCR::Read(.net.hostnames); ... } else { ... switch(selected) { case(`tcp): ... hosts = (list<string>)SCR::Read(.net.hostnames, tointeger(port)); ... } } ... if( size( hosts ) < 1 ) { Popup::Message( ... _("Scanning in the network did not find any host...)") ); } --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The crucial function call therein is SCR::Read(.net.hostnames,...). I am not a YaST-internal expert so that currently I don't know what exactly SCR::Read(.net.hostnames,...) does. Unfortunately this function seems not to show any messages in /var/log/YaST2/y2log - at least not for me where it works. I get only those messages (hostnames and IPs garbled by me): ---------------------------------------------------------------------- .. connectionwizard.ycp:2473 scanForServers selected = '`tcp' .. .. connectionwizard.ycp:2541 scanForServers hosts = '["XXX.suse.de", "YYY.suse.de", "11.22.33.44", "ZZZ.suse.de"]' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps in your case there are (error)-messages in /var/log/YaST2/y2log regarding this stuff which might help you to find out what the root cause is in your particular network? -- 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.
