Package: gnome-cups-manager Version: 0.31-1.1 Severity: normal Selecting printer connection URI's for network printers is pretty painful in gnome-cups-manager. Apparently, for a remote cups printer (in the Properties/Connection tab), it want me to input something like "http://printserver:631/printers/spinhp";. However, there's no indication of the format the URI should be in, nor a help page describing what exactly should be entered.
Furthermore, ordinary users can't be expected to know uri's like this: there should be a "scan for print servers" options (plus the possibility to enter a print server manually), and an option to scan for printers on the host, so that the user will simply be able to choose from a list. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-rc6 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages gnome-cups-manager depends on: ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.10.1-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.10.1-2 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.6-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcupsys2 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libgconf2-4 2.12.1-9 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.5.1-2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 0.4.6-2 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.12.0.1-5 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.12.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomecups1.0-1 0.2.2-1 GNOME library for CUPS interaction ii libgnomecupsui1.0-1c2a 0.31-1.1 UI extensions to libgnomecups ii libgnomeui-0 2.12.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.12.2-6 GNOME virtual file-system (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.12-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liborbit2 1:2.12.4-1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.10.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxml2 2.6.23.dfsg.1-0.1 GNOME XML library ii xlibs 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gnome-cups-manager recommends: ii gksu 1.3.6-1 graphical frontend to su -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
