I think you hit the nail on the head there.
Guess what: I hit this nail since several years now and what is the result? Set up several printers which are locally conected to a computer (e.g. via parellel port or via USB) is no problem. In some cases it may fail (=> Bugzilla) but there is no real problem behind. Set up the "printing in the network" stuff is the problem. It is still our key problem how to display the basics of the real printing model to the user so that he gets a basic understanding what this weird and confusing printing stuff is all about. I think it cannot work well when only printing experts and YaST programmes try to solve such a key problem. A usability expert who is really interested in printing is needed. I mean someone who is willing to learn the real printing model so that we could add real value and not only "yet another setup tool user interface beautification" ( YaST -> YaSTUIB ;-) By the way: It seems we are back to a "syntax versus semantics" problem, see the "syntax versus semantics in UI" thread, http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-ux/2007-05/msg00075.html Our key problem seems to be related how to display at least semantics to the user. Perhaps it is even more: "Pragmatics"?.
