Description

The page to configure a new printer via Cups is quite hard to remember (http://localhost:631)

A bookmark should be added to Iceweasel. If nobody riseup against this idea, I will submit a patch in the next days.

The preferred way to configure a printer in a GNOME desktop environment is to use the graphical interface one may find in the System > Administration> Printing menu. Doesn’t that work well enough for you? Any bugs or missing features?

Generally, I’m wary about actively supporting several interfaces to do the same thing: users may be confused as to which one is the best suited for their needs (and in this case, the general case is quite clearly, I believe, the GUI).

You’re right. I was just used to Cups, and never gave a chance to the GUI. I will, and reopen this ticket if I see that something is missing. closing
