[Bug 488655] New: yast2 fails to set up local serial printer (no control of baud rate and filters).

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488655 Summary: yast2 fails to set up local serial printer (no control of baud rate and filters). Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ulrich.deiters@uni-koeln.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009022800 SUSE/3.0.7-1.1.6 Firefox/3.0.7 I am trying to connect a label printer to a serial port (either backplane serial oport or USB->serial converter). Yast detected something and assigned a transfer rate of 230400 baud. I do not see any way to change this to 9600. It took me some time to find out that I had to set the printer driver to "raw", if I do not want one. Yast does not give help. When I tried to modify the printer settings, I still could not modify the baud rate or other serial ports characteristics. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect something to the serial port 2. run yast2, go to hardware->printers->add new printer 3. Actual Results: see "details" Expected Results: I was expecting a screen that lets me select between parallel, serial, and USB-connected printers; then another screen that lets me set serial port characteristics -- 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.

It will not be fixed/implemented for openSUSE 11.1 Depending on our available resources it might (hopefully) be implemented for openSUSE 11.2 in the "Connection Wizard". -- 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.

If you have more than one connection shown in the "Add" or "Modify" dialog, select the right connection for your printer (you may have to use "More Connections"). Then the selected connection is preset as value for "Specify arbitrary Device URI" so that you only need to modify it or add missing parameters. Regarding setting serial port characteristics for the "serial" backend see http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.1/sam.html -------------------------------------------------------------------- .. serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=9600+size=8+parity=none+flow=soft ... Here you specify the serial port (e.g. S0,S1, d0, d1), baud rate (e.g. 9600, 19200, 38400, 115200, etc.), number of bits, parity, and flow control. If you do not need flow control, delete the "+flow=soft" portion. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 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.
