Hi, I'm on a fresh openSUSE installation and I want to add my network printer.
So I open Systemsettings -> Printers, then click on Add..., but no printer are
found!
After a little investigation I found this is due to openSUSE's restrictive
firewall policies
(https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/tumbleweed/printersetc/): by (e.g.)
disabling temporarily the firewall do the magic!
Since the wizard in the Systemsettings works generally very well (no problem
e.g. in Fedora and KDE Linux with the same printer), I wonder if it worth to
add a firewall warning in the (not so friendly, to be honest) window that shows
up at the end to inform users it fails to discover any printers...
