Description of problem: For installing a printer from MCC, some packages are required including system-config-printer, task-printing-server and task-printing-hp. But the package system-config-printer does not exist. There is system-config-printer-libs and-udev which are already installed. the command: ps aux | grep system-config-printer gives: root 3178 0.0 0.1 4316 756 pts/0 S+ 20:19 0:00 grep --color system-config-printer Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia2 alpha1 DVD i586 How reproducible: At installation, with LXDE and light WMs

You have only the update reposity, add the core and it should work. Have you add yourself them, or the installer ? LiveCD ?, Dvd ?
I have installed from the DVD iso, on the HD. I reconfigured the core link to local iso manually, because it refered to an directory in /tmp/ which is no more present.
With a good configuration from repo, the problem is solved. Thank you very much.
