I can confirm the same problem for Canon Pixma IP 4000. I had to manually edit the driver search field to see some matching drivers. I have the same problem with Canon Pixma ip3000 and minolta 1350w. Was the need to manually edit the name in the field: Assing Driver. Please provide y2log. More info on http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST Created attachment 263047 [details]
Yast2 log
Here is the log from the Yast2...
Reassign to yast2-maintainers. Reassigning to yast2-printer maintainer. In attachment #261642 [details] the upper table shows
in the "Model" column the value what the printer
hardware itself reports via the USB.
Only this value can be used by YaST to find a matching driver.
When there is another model value used in the printer
description files (PPD files), YaST cannot find a matching
driver and all you can do is to manually search
for a matching driver.
YaST cannot fix such kind of non-matching values.
It could only be fixed by those who make the driver
with its associated PPDs (here the Gutenprint project)
but very likely the Gutenprint driver developers do not know
the printer hardware USB model strings of all those Hundreds
of models which are supported by the Gutenprint driver
so that such kind of non-matching values just happen.
This issue also occurs with the Canon Pixma ip3000. I've updated the HCL for this printer. Not Autodetected: Need to change the printer name from "Canon iP3000" to "Canon PIXMA iP3000" http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Printers#PIXMA_iP3000 Has anyone taken this to Gutenprint yet? Actually this bug is a duplicate of bug #468046 which is solved for openSUSE 11.2 with a [More Drivers] button. |
