--- Comment #1 from Johannes Meixner ---
A typo in comment#0:
3. Use "Find More", load PPD from local file system
must be
3. Use "Driver Packages", load PPD from local file system
I think I can confirm it basically but for me
the behaviour is a bit different:
"Printer Configurations": click [Add] results
"Add New Printer Configuration": click [Connection Wizard] results
"Connection Wizard": select "TCP Port (Appsocket/JetDirect) results
"Connection Settings": sppecify connection (socket, <IP>, port 9100),
test it (= OK),
choose any printer manufacturer,
click [OK] goes back to
"Add New Printer Configuration": click [Driver Packages] results
"Driver Packages": click [Browse],
select the locally stored printer description file
click [OK] results
"Restart locally running CUPS daemon": click [Yes] results
"wating half a minute ... to get ready ..." (just wait) goes back to
"Add New Printer Configuration":
But now in the "Add New Printer Configuration" screen the previously
specified connection is lost. This is a bug.
But the new printer description file is now available.
On can [Search for] it.
Because the previously specified connection is lost,
the workaround in YaST is to specify it again as shown above:
In "Add New Printer Configuration" click [Connection Wizard] results
"Connection Wizard": select "TCP Port (Appsocket/JetDirect) results
"Connection Settings": sppecify connection (socket, <IP>, port 9100),
test it (= OK),
choose any printer manufacturer,
click [OK] goes back to
"Add New Printer Configuration": [Search for] matching driver,
select matching driver,
select default paper size,
specify print queue name,
click [OK] results
"Creating New Printer Setup" (just wait) goes back to
"Printer Configurations": click [Print Test Page]
It works when one first uses [Driver Packages] to make a locally stored
PPD file available and then specifies the connection via [Connection Wizard].
Thomas Schmid,
can you confirm my observation?
Does it also work for you when you first uses [Driver Packages]
and then specify the connection via [Connection Wizard]?
If not, please provide YaST logs as described at
