Bugzilla – Bug 828859
AutoYaST documentation regarding "Printer" is outdated for openSUSE
Last modified: 2014-04-04 12:24:22 UTC
Rick Salevsky found the following documentaion: http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/configuration.html I don't know for what exact openSUSE version that documentation is nor do I know from what sources that documentation is generated. Therein section "4.21.1 Printer" contains mostly the right text except some minor adjustments. I will attach later a corrected text for current openSUSE versions. But below the "Example 4.37: Printer configuration" is plain wrong for current openSUSE versions. It is the outdated XML that was valid for SLE11 which is no longer valid since something like openSUSE 11.3 when I made the AutoYaST "Printer" stuff completely anew, (see bnc#588679 and bnc#582680 if you like all details ;-) Regarding "the new AutoYaST control file structure" see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=588679#c10 ----------------------------------------------------------- <printer> <client_conf_content> <file_contents><![CDATA[ ... verbatim content of /etc/cups/client.conf ... ]]></file_contents> </client_conf_content> <cupsd_conf_content> <file_contents><![CDATA[ ... verbatim content of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf ... ]]></file_contents> </cupsd_conf_content> </printer> ----------------------------------------------------------- Therefore the "Example 4.37: Printer configuration" should be exchanged by "the new AutoYaST control file structure" above.
* http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/configuration.html applies to openSUSE 12.3 as is stated on the web page * The AutoYaST documentation sources are hosted on svn.opensuse.org
Thomas, is this an update you can do?
I have no idea about printer setup neither in YaST nor in autoyast. This is done via clients from printer module which autoyast code calls. So it would make most sense if Johannes tells you directly what should be changed printer chapter in of autoyast documentation. I do not see much to gain if I would play man-in-the middle.
Created attachment 548494 [details] autoyast-printer-docu-bnc828859.txt Updated text plus updated XML.
Fixed for openSUSE 13.1
FYI: The AutoYaST documentation regarding "Printer" must be updated again for openSUSE 13.2, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404#c51
The AutoYaST documentation at http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/configuration.html#CreateProfile.Hardware.Printer is still wrong. As far as I see it is exactly the same as it was at the time of comment#0 - i.e. nothing seems to have been fixed at that public accessible URL. As a result I get bug reports because the users still use the old syntax, see bnc#871677
(In reply to comment #9) > The AutoYaST documentation at > > http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/configuration.html#CreateProfile.Hardware.Printer > > is still wrong. > I don't expect that location to be updated anymore because http://doc.opensuse.org has following notice: "Since openSUSE 13.1 all openSUSE related documentation moved to our community editing server ActiveDoc.opensuse.org and the links below are only retained here for reference.".
I cannot find the AutoYaST documentation at http://activedoc.opensuse.org/
Sorry, I forgot to update doc.opensuse.org way back when applying the patch from comment #6. http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/ should be up-to-date now.
Very many thanks for that! From comment#10 I thought the AutoYaST documentation might be left unmaintained on http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/ Hereby I confirm that section "4.21.1 Printer" in now correct at http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/configuration.html#CreateProfile.Hardware
