The design of gnome-cups-manager was really pretty good. In fact I have no specific complaints about it (that it's slow maybe).
One thing I particularly liked about it was that gnome-cups-add would give you first a list of detected printers, then suggest a driver, then suggest a name. system-config-printer asks for a name, then asks for a transport (not detecting any for me), then asks for a driver class, then a model, etc.. In the former the best case is that the user doesn't need to know anything and they've got a good chance of getting a working printer. In the latter the best case is that the user must know the correct answer to all questions and might get a working printer in the end. There also appears to be no validity checking in s-c-p - I was able to create a printer with no device URI, for instance. -- Bad UI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132227 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
