printer module

Hi, I made some thoughts about the printer module. The results can be shown on the wiki page, which had to be moved to another location (due to some reorganizational stuff which I do not have many clues off :-)). The printer module redesign stuff is now available on: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Development/Printer_Enhancement I tried to avoid the term "queue" as I got some feedback on the ux-list and in personal discussions and benchmarking, that this term is not familiar to many users. For the sake of consistency with other modules I also sacrificed Johannes' sentences with included buttons, which I personally like a lot. The CUPS settings also became a more semantic description. I used the settings and wording of the CUPS browser UI and gave the user the possibility to make detailed settings for some entries. Open questions: * Did I understand this correctly: I can either use default settings of the remote CUPS server (which means the default queue of the remote computer) or do I choose another queue Missing stuff: * select default queue (maybe this will be covered by a button at the right bottom side of the local queue list) * firewall settings (which I would put into the check boxes of the local CUPS settings * CUPS USB device settings (big question mark for me: do we really need that? In case we do, it can become another check box in the local CUPS settings Did I miss anything else? What do you think about these mockups?

Hi, I wish all merry and recreative Christmas holidays and a successful, healthy and lucky new year! Thanks for all the comments and discussions! Although I wasn't always able to join all of them it is very nice to see that there are some people around who like to give feedback about usability and design issues!

printer module

Hi everybody, Johannes came up with some additional ideas how to redesign the add dialog and the printer module. I put the screenshots on: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Printer Please note, that they contain some experimental stuff like semantic buttons. Although I find this idea very interesting and cool (as it brings in the thoughts of hyperlinks) it will be most likely that they will not survive the whole design process :-) Cu, Martin -- Martin Schmidkunz User Experience Specialist martin.schmidkunz(a)novell.com +49 (0) 911 740 53-346 ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Novell, Inc.
