--- Comment #5 from Johannes Meixner 2008-11-27 01:13:26 MST ---
Regarding comment #0 "scan function or the like"
for network printers.
This is built-in in CUPS via the snmp backend, see
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.4/ref-snmp-conf.html
The default content of snmp.conf is
--------------------------------------------------------------
Address @LOCAL
Community public
--------------------------------------------------------------
so that all network printers in the local network
which can be detected via a "public" SNMP community
are autodetected by CUPS.
All connections of autodetected printers are available in YaST
without using complicated stuff like the "Connection Wizard".
Initially only connections for locally connected autodetected
printers are shown in YaST.
To show also connections for autodetected network printers
you would have to click just [More Connections].
Unfortunately network printer autodetection in CUPS does
currently not work because of bug #449570.
As a workaround do
chown root:lp /etc/cups/snmp.conf
For the rest of all those complaints here without useful
information for us how to reproduce your issues so that
we can of course not fix it, see in particular bug #446432
how to make a really useful and helpful bug report for us
which we can of course fix.
Additionally see bug #442247 and bug #440903, in particular
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440903#c16
I close this bunch of complaint as invalid bug report.
I appreciate if you test yast2-printer 2.17.46 see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440903#c16
and make useful bug reports like bug #446432
to help me to make yast2-printer as good as possible.
