Your info is too terse for me. I still do not understand the end-user's situation. Please do not misunderstand me - I don't want to do nitpicking. But I need to understand the whole picture from the end-user's point of view - otherwise whatever nice-looking implementation may not solve the actual end-user problem.
The situtation is the end user doesn't want to type in a password to do simple operations.
Frommy point of viwe it seems from mail to mail you change the issue (it started with USB printers, became network printers, now it is about typing passwords) and it seems you still don't tell the whole story.
No, the user should not need root to include any printers, I just didn't explicitly call out network printers to begin with and I should have.
Why do you want to implement Windows-stlye printing when we use CUPS on Linux?
Because its what most users expect and want, even many linux ones.
I am afraid but it seems now we are at a dead end.
Why exactly are we at a dead end? We agreed in the dist meeting not needing root to configure a printer was a valid use case. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
