In my opinion, users are interested in printing, not configuring anything :) Having known the Johaness' opinion still didn't persuade me to accept it. Why "meaningless"?
It has something to do with that, that technically there are no printers in the printing system. But before I gossip around some half-truths, maybe Johannes should explain that to you.
Still no idea what "Remote Access" is and why should I click on that tab :( How would you name it?
Is that about sharing my local printers as network printers? In that case, I'd rather define it for every single local printer.
* Select a printer * Click [Edit] * Go to 'Sharing'
That is exactly how our model works. Remote Access -> general access settings (yes/no) Sharing (in edit dialog) -> allow users/host access to this special queue. Remote Access is the dialog shown in: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Printer_mschmidkunz_printer_remoteaccess.png And sharing is the dialog shown in: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Printer_mschmidkunz_printer_sharing.png Do you have any other naming suggestion for the "Remote Access" tab?
Still very confused with "Print via Network" and still no clue why should I click on that tab :( How would you name it?
In my opinion, configuration should be transparent for users. They needn't have four or five tabs to configure their printer/s. Windows XP does this job much better with a single window.
Again: Windows XP is clearly defined for home/desktop users. AFAIK this module should work for SLES as well. Windows Server 2003 for example uses more than a single window :-) Do you have any other naming suggestion for the "Print Via Network" tab?
Buttons [Add] -> [Add Printer]? / [New Printer]? [Edit] -> [Configure]? / [Reconfigure]? [Delete] -> [Remove]? Because of the YaST style guide :-)
Oh, style-guide can be changed :) It's not a definite set of rules written into stone ;)
Should we first try to have at least one style guide, which is applied before thinking of rewriting it again? :-) Cu, Martin -- Martin Schmidkunz User Experience Specialist martin.schmidkunz@novell.com +49 (0) 911 740 53-346 ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Novell, Inc.
