Summary:	Cannot configure remote printer using Yast2
Product:	[openSUSE] openSUSE 11.4	Reporter:	Richard Gray <richard>
Component:	YaST2	Assignee:	Johannes Meixner <jsmeix>

Description Richard Gray 2011-05-29 20:59:11 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110420 SUSE/3.6.17-0.2.1 Firefox/3.6.17

On a freshly installed system (not an upgrade), clicking the printer icon in Yast2 brings up a page showing no printers configured (as one would expect), however it is impossible to progress any further than this. Clicking the "Connection Wizard" button brings up a screen with the various possibilities one might choose for a remote printer, but one cannot continue from there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click printers Icon in Yast2
2. Click Connection Wizard - one cannot progress any further than this
Actual Results:  
Stuck. The only solution will be to have a look at an old OpenSuse install and try to figure out what underlying files need to be changed to configure a printer "the old fashioned way". I have not yet found a workaround.

Expected Results:  
Should be able to configure a remote printer - as in previous versions.

I neglected to say (step 1.5), click <add>.
