Bug#389565: kcontrol: Printers module does not have an option to change CUPS server
Package: kcontrol
Version: 4:3.5.4-2+b1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line *** In the KDE Control Center, under "Peripherals" then "Printers", I
choose CUPS as my "Print system currently used". Default server is localhost:631. I wish to use an external CUPS
server, but cannot change the server here. If I do not have a local CUPS server running, or have no rights on the
remote CUPS server, I cannot use "configure server". However, I can use the "What is this?" (Shift+F1) help function on
the Server: localhost:631 entry on the bottom of te screen. It tells me "To switch to a different CUPS server, click
"System options" etc. " This was in fact helpful as via google I found I could use the kprinter program to change the
server.
To summarize: there should be an option to change the CUPS server.
Thanks,
Mathijs
