When system-config-printer-applet is installed but system-config-printer is not installed (which is probably the default)

That is actually an error in the .spec file... the requires are wrong (fixed in my branch).

then system-config-printer-applet makes an unexpected setup to print to a remote CUPS queue:

That's then understandable. The applet is basically missing entry points and starts 'guessing'..

In contrast when system-config-printer is installed, the behaviour is very different:

The dialogs look different and what gets set up in the end is a local "raw" print queue (i.e. a local queue without a PPD file) that forwards application's print data "as is" to the remote CUPS queue.

And this is how it should be, right? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
