I recently looked at a bug where somebody wanted to know how to
make lpr printers show up in the print dialogs, since in his
environment, lpr is used (bug 232009, if you are interested).
Our default printing configuration uses cups and we don't want to show
two printing systems in the print dialog by default, since that would
be confusing. It is however pretty easy to configure GTK+ to show
lpr instead of cups (or both, if you want) - if you know how to.
I wonder if we have a good place to put this kind of non-default
configuration information, maybe a howto section in the wiki, or
something like that ?
And what (if any) are the steps I should take to make sure that
useful information like this finds its way there ?
A couple ideas:
1.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Printing - seems self-explanatory, but
on the other hand I can't tell whether it was intended to hold user help
content. That's what I'd search for if I were a new user.
2.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ - catchall for some common
problems, but again, this may be too "weedy" for that page.
3.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/FC6Common - in the area called
"Less Common Issues," possibly? There is also a "F7Common" page for
the
upcoming release.
Does a knowledge base system get easier to implement with Plone as the
engine for our web site? I'm pretty sure it does, which would make
one-off issues much easier for users to enter and docs people to edit
into publication shape in small, bite-sized chunks that could entice new
Docs contributors to help out.
