Bug ID: 468889
Summary: way to force printer to use drivers
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.27.4
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_printer_manager
Assignee: dantt...@gmail.com
Reporter: dchme...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Systemsettings sets up so-called 'driverless' printers, sometimes (if removed)
multiple times, which I've found lack quality/settings that drivers have, and
seems there's no way to get rid of.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add printer drivers.
2. Watch users assume printer is set right or select one.
OBSERVED RESULT
Printer drivers are sometimes better than so-called 'driverless' which seems
there's no way to get rid of. When users accidentally selected the driverless
(not default) option we've had whole sections omitted within documents when
printed, regardless of text editor or word processor.
EXPECTED RESULT
If one wants to use drivers, allow that and for it to be the only choice if
desired.
