Hi!<br>
<br>
I did a base (default) install from i686 DVD onto my netbook. it's<br>
working fine, but...<br>
<br>
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"<br>
and installed it.<br>
<br>
but I still don't have any items in any of the menus to allow printer<br>
configuration.<br>
<br>
there is a package installed named system-config-printer-libs-1.3.9-1.fc17.i686<br>
but it doesn't seem to contain anything obviously designed as an end-user UI<br>
for configuring printers.<br>
<br>
how is one supposed to set up a printer on F17?<br>
<br>
(I suppose I could fall back on browsing to port 630...)<br>
<br>
thanks!<br>
<br>
Fred<br>

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.</div>
