Hello,
asking for some printing advice on openmandriva 6 gnome
i have a brother printer (connected via wifi) that is perfectly working but i first need to unlock it, and for doing that i need to open the scanner app, that will trigger me a password prompt, then will unlock the printer also in system settings
if i open the gnome printer settings directly it says it couldn’t unlock some things so it does not appear (unless ofc i unlock that via the scanning application)
i have another installation with fedora on, on which i just need to turn the printer on and no unlocking is required
could it be made like that?
i also noticed there is an openmandriva printing utility but i didn’t understood much of that…
ah wait a second, i was glad you replied me, i was just saying that probably if system settings can do everything for you, there’s no need to open another app or a browser to do it
but i was glad you gave me useful infos, now i know something i didn’t know before
It’s the real deal. Everything you need to manage a printer or print server is right there. I find it much easier to setup an IPP Everywhere printer from here, because nothing is missing. It’s awesome!
You’re right. Most people don’t even know it exists. When you install CUPS, it’s there.
Over on the SAMBA documentation for setting up a network printer, the posted link for CUPS is https://localhost:631/admin. That doesn’t work, as I found out. Yours is the correct link.
