Description Johannes Meixner 2005-08-16 07:44:34 UTC
I installed beta1 on x86_64 (on caps.suse.de) and both printers
HP DeskJet 990C and HP LaserJet 1220 which had been connected to USB
had been autoconfigured during installation (test-page printed well).

Today I tested parallel port.
I connected the HP DeskJet 990C to the parallel port.
The HP LaserJet 1220 is still connected to USB.

Both are autodetected in the new YaST printer main dialog
(the model and the connection/device are autodetected)
but none of them can be well configured because
neither the connection/device is used after I clicked [Edit]
nor is a matching model and/or PPD file found after I clicked [Edit].

Manual configuration via [Add] and then manual selection of the
connection type and the printer model worked - except see bug 104874.

You can verify it using "ssh -X root@caps.suse.de".
I have yast2-printer-2.12.1-3 installed on caps.suse.de
This is what is available on /work/CDs/all/full-x86_64/suse/x86_64/
Comment 1 Johannes Meixner 2005-08-17 13:44:43 UTC
Now there is beta2 installed on caps.suse.de

There is another problem when a non-YaST queue exists:
Now there is a queue which I set up using

root@caps: lpadmin -p hp1220 -v hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1220?device=/dev/usb/lp0 \
-P /usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/HP-LaserJet_1220-hpijs.ppd.gz \
-E

In this case YaST cannot show the connection (i.e. the DeviceURI)
in the Rich-text box. In this case it is shown as

hp1220
Connected As
With Spool hp1220

Either don't show the "Connected As" line at all if there is no value
or better use the "Device" value from the table above as fallback
because here there is the value "/usb/HP_LaserJet_1220".

By the way:
What does "With Spool" mean?
Does it mean the queue name?
If yes then please use "Queue name".
