Should we not move from the yast printer setup as default to the desktop tools and make that experience as flawless as possible? Then the yast printer module does not to be installed by default and we remove one element that can complicate things?
Right. That should have happened a longer time ago. But "something" in openSUSE or SUSE didn't or couldn't make the decision to let the YaST printer module RIP (regardless what developers tell who know its code ;-) I think on a default Gnome desktop the default printer setup tool is the one from Gnome i.e. the system-config-printer RPMs together with udev-configure-printer. In general regarding the YaST printer module see https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1175341#c1 and follow the links therein (as far as possible). Regarding nowadays printer devices: I do not have an IPP Everywhere printer. So all I know about things like IPP Everywhere and "driverless" is basically only from hearsay. See also https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1169817 which contains some links to documentation about "driverless" and related things. I have only a traditional PostScript color laser USB printer. I hope it will continue to print reliably for some more years as it did all the time. I don't print from Linux desktop applications enough to know how they behave in detail. E.g. printing from Firefox works sufficiently well for me (after one learned to avoid this or that minor UX issue) and otherwise I use mostly the plain 'lp' command when I print every now and then.
