I also have the problem + that I am no longer able to find the printer I would need in the whole + series of other unwanted printers. It would be easier if I only had to + use the default printer, but unfortunately this is not the case. - On VM in the company I have Problems, becuase after Systemstart masses of Printermessages appear and annoy me. Also I have the Problem that I'm not anymore able to detect the Printer I need in the whole bunch of other unwanted Printers. It would be more easy if I had to use only the standard Printer but that's not the case. + Another problem is adding a printer: + It is easy to obtain the IP address of the printer. In the Add dialog there is a text in the search bar that says that I could insert an IP address. But that doesn't work. I need to go to "additional printer settings". Here I can add an IP address, but it must be an address starting with "ipp://"? Why do I have to do this? IP address is IP address, The program should find the protocol that it needs itself! - Also the Problem is to add a Printer: - It's easy to get the Printer IP address. But in the add Dialog there is a text in the search bar which says I could insert an IP addres. But this do not work. I have to go to Additional Printer settings. there could I add an IP address but it has to bee an address starting with "ipp://" ?? Why do I have to do something like that. IP-Adrress is IP-Address, detect your protocol and what ever yourself! - After that I have to descide for HPLIB and two AppSocket what ever. - For a Prnter which was not suported I had to enter at first the Printer details and scroll through a shitty long list of printers and had to research that a "Cannon iR" is a "Cannon Image Runner". - At the End i had to download a ppd File from canon. (That was an adventure on it's own that has nothing to do with Linux). Now I have a Printer that work and renamed with Special text to get it at the top of the Big list of unwanted Printers in the system. + Then I have to choose HPLIB and two AppSocket. + For a printer that wasn't supported, I first had to enter the printer details and scroll through a shitty long list of printers and research that a Cannon iR is a Cannon Image Runner. + In the end I had to download a ppd file from canon.
