Title:
Place an "Add Printer" button on print dialog
Status in GTK+:
Expired
Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When I print a document (by choosing File then Print) I am able to
select any installed printer But, sometimes I want to use a printer
on the network and I have not installed it yet. I really wish there
was a button on the print dialog box (from File/Print) that would be
labeled "Add Printer" that would take me to the printers/add a printer
dialog box. That way, I could add the printer I want and have it
listed in the list of printers without me having to leave the
application, go to the printers application, add a printer, return to
the original application and choose File and Print then choose the new
printer.
This is like when you save a document and you realize the folder you
want does not exist, you don't have to exit and go to Nautilus, create
the folder, then return to the application to save the file in the new
folder. You just select the Create a New folder button when you save
the file. Same idea with the printer - when you print and the printer
does not exist click on a button that allows you to add it right then.
Note, I am not suggesting that network printers be automatically
installed. Just add a button on the File/Print dialog box that takes
you to Printer/Add New Printer box. No other OS makes it this easy to
allow you to add a printer at the time when you print a document so
this would be helpful. Also helpful for the new person who wants to
print something to a network printer and when they don't see it in the
list of installed printers, they wouldn't have to ask "where do I go
to add a printer" since the button would be right there.
Thanks
