Hi!
I did a base (default) install from i686 DVD onto my netbook.
it's
working fine, but...
it doesn't have any tools to configure any printers. so using
"add/remove software" I searched for "printing" and it came
up
with an item "Printing Support"
and installed it.
but I still don't have any items in any of the menus to allow
printer
configuration.
there is a package installed named
system-config-printer-libs-1.3.9-1.fc17.i686
but it doesn't seem to contain anything obviously designed as
an end-user UI
for configuring printers.
how is one supposed to set up a printer on F17?
(I suppose I could fall back on browsing to port 630...)
thanks!
Fred

If using an HP printer, go to the "Add/remove software", search for
"hplip" and mark the two that are not installed for installation. I
don't know if yum will work on this one. I have this challenge all the
time when upgrading to the next version; I love the challenge knowing
that, in Linux, the solution is relatively simple.
Look, system-config-printer does have the facilities to configure
printers. I have done this twice in the last 2 weeks. A short cutto the
program is found under the user name menu under:System Setup -> Printer.
Alternately you can open your browser and go to: localhost:631
