I tried to use an USB printer, and while it was detected ->
task-printing installed, it was not automaticaly added, as it is in MGA1.
Trying to add it manually, only a LPT (parallel) printer is shown in MCC.
Before I report a bug, has anyone else tried to use an USB printer?
I found out that usblp blocks cups USB detection in Arch Wiki :
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS#USB_printers
Blacklisting it worked for me. I no one steps out, I will add this
blacklist file to cups package.
Note that it is needed for some printers
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2240
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2264
so if blacklisting by default is enabled, that should at least be
pointed out in a README.urpmi file, so users of those printers will
know how to un-blacklist it.
