Hi
I would rather not have to learn the CUPS web interface just to
configure my printer. Do we have a way to do this yet from config.scm? I
think we should abstract away everything CUPS.
Maybe we could make a guix printer importer?
The idea is to extract information about the printer via Guile and print
what the user need to add to the config.scm.
Something like this:
$ guix printer
"Found 1 USB printer: HP DeskJet 4330
(cups-configuration
(printer
(name "HP DeskJet 4330"
(connection "usb://34234556"
(settings
(paper "a4"
(source "default"
..."
When the user adds this to their config.scm and reconfigures the printer
JUST WORKS.
Thoughts?
