Everybody who uses something like that, will not be able to set up their printer from MCC, until they un-blacklist usblp. And from where would they know? A README.urpmi will not be displayed for initial Mageia installations, so people doing a fresh mga2 install will not even notice this change. So it also has to be put in release notes, if blacklisted. </PRE> <!--endarticle--> <HR> <P><UL> <!--threads--> <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="013816.html">[Mageia-dev] usb printers </A></li> <LI>Next message: <A HREF="013818.html">[Mageia-dev] usb printers </A></li> <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> <a href="date.html#13817">[ date ]</a> <a href="thread.html#13817">[ thread ]</a> <a href="subject.html#13817">[ subject ]</a> <a href="author.html#13817">[ author ]</a> </LI> </UL> <hr> <a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev mailing list</a><br> </body></html>
