Is network printer discovery as bad as it appears to be, at first glance?
I’ve used desktop Linux for 20 years. Mandrake, Debian, Fedora, Kubuntu/Neon, and others. I’ve never had so much trouble installing LAN printers as I have on OpenSUSE. I finally gave-up; I turned-off the firewall, and used KDE tools to discover & install the printers–along with their PPD files.
Is there a good tutorial somewhere, or is YAST network printer discovery unusable?
Printer discovery is achieved using various methods. CUPS can use Avahi (Bonjour) and IPP for discovery… https://www.cups.org/doc/network.htmlThis may also be of value to you…
