Setting up a network printer, printerdrake says my
net isn't configured, do I want to configure it now?
Saying yes gets me the same question, in a loop.
[1] add a new printer
[2] leave all 3 autodetect ceckboxes selected.
resize the window so teh Cancel and Next buttons are visible,
and press next
[3] a message appears in its own window:
You are going to configure a remote printer. This needs working
network access, but your network is not configured yet. If you go
on without network configuration, you will not be able to use the
printer which you are configuring now. How do you want to proceed?
[x] confiure the network now
[ ] go on without configuring the network
(ok) (cancel)
[4] choose OK, you instantly get exactly the same message, in a different
place on the screen
[5] choose OK, you instantly get exactly the same message, in a different
place on the screen
[6] Go on without configuring the network, get "No printer found!"
The same loop happens if only "[x] Auto-detect printers connected to
the local network" is selected.
[7] if you don't select any autodetecting you are asked if the port is
on parallel port #0 #1 or #2, or USB printer #0 #1 or #2, no
mention of network printers.
It's possible to add a networked printer by IP address (what I needed to do)
in Advanced mode, though.
