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.
