Any additional printers have to be manually added, except PDF (for file storage). I can set up same printer with same IP but different ID name if I list it as 'spare printer' it then appears in drop down box of printers when I chose to print with always the default printer pre-selected at top of list unless I change it. The PDF printer (always added by openSUSE)for saving as a file is under list at bottom when printing from LibreOffice. This allows me to always get at printer as default or as 'spare' -- regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dcglug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
