Theme name: Adwaita Kernel version = 5.10.27-desktop-1.mga8 Distribution=Mageia release 8 (Official) for x86_64 CPU=Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3632QM CPU @ 2.20GHz I'm not sure this bug is related to this package anyway after a fresh Mageia 8 installation I wanted to add an HP printer. I used the Mageia Control Center to add printer. Packages install successfully, unfortunately I was not able to see my wifi printer and to add it. I restarted cups service without success, I reboot the computer then the HP logo appears, I tried throw that way but without more success anyway a more explicit message appears the suggest to look at the firewall configuration. Enabling to discover printer and scanner solved the problem. I would suggest - to display this message when user want to add printer or - to ask user to disable firewall for printer or scanner.
Thank you for reporting. Something like this have crossed my mind too. I regard this as an enhancement request. Such are typically set against Cauldron.

Actually this is pretty bad. Makes new users not finding printers. https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?t=14975

Firewall configuration in In MCC > Security > Set up your personal firewall Should user enable both "CUPS" and "Network printer/scanner autodiscovery"?

(In reply to Morgan Leijström from comment #3) > > Should user enable both "CUPS" and "Network printer/scanner autodiscovery"? "Network printer/scanner autodiscovery" should be sufficient. Allowing CUPS would be required if you want to send print jobs from a different box to the CUPS server running on the box where you configure this, AFAICT. Although I'm not sure why we don't allow outgoing connections, as "Network printer/scanner autodiscovery" is not about incoming connections ... ? Changing the default here to allow "Network printer/scanner autodiscovery" would improve the end user experience quite a bit IMHO.

Printer autodiscovery is ok on a trusted small lan. It's not ok on an untrusted lan or in a large netowrk. For security reasons, it should not be encouraged. https://blog.hidglobal.com/2022/01/printer-security-real-threat-heres-what-do-about-it Having it on should not be a default.
