Description Martin Jost 2009-01-17 18:56:58 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); de; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5

I tried to install my Kyocera FS1020-D laser printer (connected by USB) on Suse 11.1 - but failed to by big surprise. (This worked without any problem on 10.3 and the printer supports PCL6 and postscript)

I tried this using yast. yast detected the printer, but then failed, because no driver could be found. All possible driver types (gutenprint, hp, ...) are checked on the page in yast.
In a second try, I used the PPD file from the vendor CD. yast seemed to accept and parse the PPD, but no reaction was visible in yast. Clicking "Continue" in yast, made yast complain about missing driver (as before)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to install Kyocera FS-1020D using yast
2. Fails, when yast needs to find the driver

Actual Results:  
Printer not installed

Expected Results:  
Printer should be installed

I finaly got it installed, using the web interface of cups.
There has been one quirk:
cups also only knew about the newer FS1030D by default.
But cups accepted the ppd file, I got from www.OpenPrinting.org

Hope I got the right section.
This is from the start of the file up until the first line of the next yast session

When I enter "1020" as the model info in YaST
and then press [Show matching frivers],
I get a drivers for the Kyocera Mita FS-1020D.

Note that a longer time ago "Kyocera" renamed
itself to "Kyocera Mita" which was some time
ago re-renamed back to "Kyocera" which of course
results confusion about their printer names.
