>I will attach the pictures and write up to the ticket and I will try to
include as many common router interfaces as I can. Is there anyway to
insert the tutorial into the setup dialog so that people can see how to
find the IP adress of the printer ?
That is currently not possible. Shouldn't the information be part of the
user guide?
>Another nice feature would be to have the IP adress setting come up when
selecting the printer ,not when you go to start a print job.
That is also currently not possible but could be changed. However I don't
know how much effort that would require.
>Also is it possiable to include a test print page to verify printer
setup? Similar to the microsoft way of doing it ?This way when you done
with the setup you know the printer actually works.
That could also be added easily for example to the Printers preflet.
>I think this could be done as a html document in webpositive to make it
fairly easy. Plus there are only a handful of router home adress's so that
should make it fiarly simple to make a html guide to printer setup
functional.
>
>Whats your take ? I can do the html parts etc.
I would prefer the tutorial to be a part of the Haiku user guide. Maybe
with a link from Printers preflet so it can be opened from there.
