It's not 2 time, KIND is the driver, the above is the printer description. (In reply to comment #1) > It's not 2 time, KIND is the driver, the above is the printer description. > Aha, ... and you want to keep it like that? No, that UI indeed misses the printer name, the reason is that this doesn't happen if you have more than one printer because then side list is shown (with the printer name)..

Yes, I noticed this too now. Also with one printer you see the status (Idle, printing, paused, etc.) in the main view. But with several printers it is only shown in the left pane, but not (anymore) in the main view. I think this should be consistent, too (i.e. status should be always visible in main view). Can you fix it also? :-) this is master since it adds a new "Name:" string,

It's hidden because you would have it duplicated otherwise.
they don't work, it isn't expected and you need root password to change it.(In reply to comment #6) >> Also with one printer you see the status (Idle, printing, paused, etc.) in the main view. >> But with several printers it is only shown in the left pane, but not (anymore) in the main view. > It's hidden because you would have it duplicated otherwise. Well, yeah but one is only the overview, also I think it is strange that the interface changes whether there is one or multiple printers... And while I'am it (I hope this is OK, here otherwise tell me if I should fill new bug or else): - I'm missing a button to pause/resume the printer in print-manager, now one always needs to open print-queue for this. Issues when adding new printers: - status is always "paused" this is bad because: you cannot print with printer, it isn't expected and you need root password to change it. - checkmark "Reject Print jobs", is always enabled, this is bad because: you cannot print with printer, it isn't expected and you need root password to change it. This means after adding a printer you have to enter two times the root password to actually print with it. Also if you don't expect it, you can spent quit some time looking around. I would suggest to set printer as unpaused and don't set the reject mark as default. hey Daniel, do you have any thoughts on my last comment? Shall I open a report for it? Cheers All the last issues (but the missing pause button on KCM) are already fixed in KDE 4.10 branch. |
Created attachment 78962 [details] Screenshot of Print Manager which shows the problem In the Printer Manager the name of the printer isn't shown, but instead description two times. One of the descriptions-text should be replaced by the name, see also attached screenshot.
