First I want to say that printer installation has really improved since I last got a new printer a few years ago. In fact, I would even say that installing my new HP 8610 on Mageia and Raspberry PI (Raspbian) was even faster and easier than on Windows.
But I did encounter something strange on the PI. After installing system-config-printer and cups, I used the GUI to detect the printer. The printer was located - including the printer driver, but then I got an authentication window saying: "privileges are required to add/remove/edit a remote printer". The pi user and password were not accepted. But here's the weird thing - I hit cancel, but the printer was installed and WORKS PERFECTLY. If I try to edit the printer's properties, I also get the same authorization message, but again am able to change properties as needed. -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by Claws Mail 3.11.1 - KDE 4.12.15 - LINUX Mageia 4 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
