I’m very surprised!I just opened Gnome Settings and click on the Mouse & Touchpad icon and… where’s the box for disabling tapping and the one for disabling the touch pad while typing (or was it while using an external mouse?).
Many thanks!
AFAIK Gnome 3.20 changed some defaults and the settings interface. Anyway any touchpad setting should still be available through the gsettings command.
To disable tap-to click you should type in a terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-to-click 'false'
Are the gnome developers insane?
I mean I’m rational Gnome fan boy, but this one…

I may think that maybe something hasn’t been picked up during installation.
Do you think that if during installation I plug in a wireless (Logitech) mouse by any chance the driver won’t configure it self properly?
I’ll try also by installing fedora if the trackopad gets recognised properly.
So annoying this tapping function 
Something changed in the Gnome 3.20 design, see https://blogs.gnome.org/felipeborges/new-mouse-panel/ or https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.20/more.html.en for instance.
If yours is an upgrade rather than a fresh install, chances are that the old Gnome 3.18 schema may interfere with some new settings.
Then I noticed that some older Synaptics touchpads are not recognized properly (or not properly setup anyway…), maybe because the new default settings are modeled after the newer clickpads (which were properly recognized in my limited testing so far).
Anyway gsettings (or maybe dconf editor) still can access every setting.
Sorry, I can’t test any further right now; I will update if I find anything useful in the next few days…
Also worth noting if yours was an update rather than a clean install:
maybe uninstalling
xorg-x11-driver-input
xf86-input-synaptics
xf86-input-evdev
and installing instead
xf86-input-libinput (plus dependencies if needed)
might help restoring things as you like.
It’s weird because it was a fresh install done with a fresh TW iso download about a month ago.
I wiping and reinstalling with the latest iso.
Maybe during last install /home wasn’t wiped and some preferences were left in there? But I don’t think it’s a matter preferences/config_files.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
Cheers for now
Done a fresh install with the latest TW image (and left the mouse disconnected).
Again no tap-to-click switch in Gnome Settings.
I also tried Fedora 23, no problem at all with that one.
Any other hint?
Also before I couldn’t simply add a printer… and Fedora could.
I’d really like to pick OpenSuse for my computers (so brave with their BTRFS choice and setup, first reason why I chose it) but make things a bit harder to achieve (and also look cluncky with that broken plymouth).
But love the community here.
Thanks
You’re best advised to start another thread in the hardware forum for that. I’m sure someone can help you with printer configuration.
Ah, and I see that I replied there with advice already 
Understanding what your hardware really is might help… we cannot browse over your shoulder!
Is it a clickpad, a touchpad or whatever? Which make? Posting the result of
hwinfo --mouse
might help here.
Also, as already written, please check that you have EITHER:
xf86-input-libinput
OR:
xorg-x11-driver-input
xf86-input-synaptics
xf86-input-evdev
installed, but NOT BOTH options since they may interfere with each other.
