[Printing-architecture] [Gimp-print-devel] Printer setup tools: Automatically choose the correct backend

[Klaus Singvogel]

Hello,
SUSE is using "cups-autoconfig" for automatic configuration of
printers when a plug-in event in hal occurs. It's not
"hal-cups-utils", it's a new tool, which got developed in-house.

I didn't get the full thread on this mailing-list, so I don't
know, if already answered. So I hope nobody minds if I repeat
the same answer.

Regards,
	Klaus.
