Description Marja Van Waes 2012-08-22 19:15:51 CEST

When you go to MCC --> Hardware --> Configure printing and scanning --> Set up the printer(s), the print job queues, ...

and you click on "Help" in the menu bar, the only available options are:
Troubleshoot F1
*About

However, there is no link to the help. That is a shame, because we have a really nice help for that screen
http://docteam.mageia.nl/en/MCC/content/system-config-printer.html

In Mandriva 2010.2, the link was missing too, btw.

That's actually a system-config-printer bug

That's not a bug but a feature request (and still valid)

If you go to "Set up a scanner" or "Set up the KB" or Set up the mouse" next entries, you have the help. That doesn't make sense. Whoever seeing that thinks it is a bug.
My two cents

@ Anyone reading this:

* If this bug is valid for you in cauldron, then please test whether updating your system-config-printer packages to version 1.5.7-5.mga6 fixes the problem and report back in this bug report.

* If you do not have this bug in cauldron, but you do run cauldron, then please update those packages, too, and report in bug 18367 whether they work as expected.

Comment 8 Morgan Leijström 2018-04-18 11:05:14 CEST

Still valid current mga6, but it is hard to implement a link directly to the exact documentation, as it is in several languages: i.e going to 
https://www.mageia.org/doc/ redirects in my case to
https://www.mageia.org/sv/doc/
...And there i click the link to help for control panel
https://doc.mageia.org/mcc/6/sv/content/index.html
...then go to chapter
https://doc.mageia.org/mcc/6/sv/content/system-config-printer.html

So the easy and reliable way is to simply link to https://www.mageia.org/doc/
that will automatically select language and user have choice of html or pdf too.

( For many years https://wiki.mageia.org/en/MCC have not been finished, and IMO should be linking to above main doc page which documents are kept updated. )
