The following issue has been ASSIGNED. ====================================================================== https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=4532 ====================================================================== Reported By: phil Assigned To: maciej ====================================================================== Project: cupsclient Issue ID: 4532 Category: packaging Reproducibility: always Severity: major Priority: normal Status: assigned ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2010-08-27 19:18 CEST Last Modified: 2011-06-12 21:42 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: cupsclient lacks docs Description: I decided to try switching to using "cupsclient" for printing. Installed the package... and was left scratching my head. the postinstall mentions "/etc/opt/csw/cups". Which only contents "client.conf.CSW". Which mentioned "man client.conf". Which is similarly unhelpful. Looked in /opt/csw/share/doc/cupsclient. Only thing there is the license file.
Please add some level of documentation to address, "here's what you do if you actually want to print to something". What would be helpful, would be two things: 1. mention of "how do I set up a printer"? 2. mention of "what do I do instead of the usual 'lp' ?" ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0009112) phil (developer) - 2011-06-12 19:25 https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=4532#c9112 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm afraid I dont find a "documentation" file that says "go read the REAL documentation" to be very helpful. It's "better than nothing", but I thought cups was supposed to be so wonderfully easy to use? (I dont use it, which is why I found myself in need of documentation.. and then said "the heck with this" when I did not fight straightforward docs for it) If it's so wonderfully easy, shouldnt it be "easy" for you to throw together a couple of lines saying, "here are the steps you need to do to point your cupsclient at a working cupsd back end" ? I dunno whether it is or not, I still havent figured out a simple way to use it :p (and as a reply to your last comment: I vaguely recall lpadmin not functioning as normal, which is why I tore the packages off my workstation, after giving it an initial try. but that was some time ago.) _______________________________________________ bug-notifications mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-notifications
