Comment(by laplace):
It actually makes more sense to store the installed printers in the common
settings folder. In a multi-user environment you probably want the
printers to be shared by all users and not to be user specific.
Therefore I propose to move the printers folder from user settings to
common settings folder and update the print_server, preflet and Haiku
printer add-ons to search in the common settings folder only. If it turns
out that 3rd party printer drivers search in the user settings folder, we
could create a symbolic link in the user settings folder to the printers
folder in the common settings folder for backwards compatibility.
BTW a workaround for this ticket is also to create a symbol link to the
printers folder in the common settings folder. [[BR]]
In Terminal type:
{{{
cd /boot/common/settings
ln -s /boot/home/config/settings/printers printers
}}}
