Hi, For various reasons, I'm seriously considering parts of our print stack that nobody else uses (namely cups-autoconfig) and adopt hal-cups-utils (used in Fedora & Ubuntu, at least). Okay, I guess I can list a few reasons: + actually maintained + used by other distros, so probably easier to get fixes for "free" + (related to the previous items: use the exact same stack as others, which is better for everybody in the long term) + seems to cover the exact same role + integrates with system-config-printer to display a notification bubble when a new printer is added (we have a patch for gnome-volume-manager to do the same thing with cups-autoconfig) + makes it possible to completely drop gnome-volume-manager (we can discuss this in another thread) I've made some packages in home:vuntz:factory-playground. So if you add this repo, you can install the cups-backends and hal-cups-utils packages and see how it goes. Now, I'd really need people who have a local printer that they can plug in the computer to test all this. Does this work? Does this work well? Some things to check: + if you plug a new printer, does it add it? + if you unplug it, does the printer get disabled? + if you plug it again, does the printer get enabled (and no new printer should be created)? + etc. That's really easy to test, and I'd need some feedback quickly if possible so I can try to push this in 11.1 (it's already a bit late, so I might need to bribe a few people).
