Bug ID: 418563
Summary: "Share this printer" checkbox enables for a short time
via "System preferences": Show inline message instead
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.17.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org

Screen recording
SUMMARY
The "share this printer" checkbox is deactivated. However, it is possible to
choose
"System preferences" -> "Share printers connected to this system".
This will result in enabling the checkbox "share this printer" for a half a
second, then it
becomes deactivated again.
The terminal output may explain why, but for the average user, there's no hint
why settings
behave like they do.
I think the checkbox should not be activated in the first place and a hint
should be displayed,
explaining why it's not possible to share the printer.
