Comment 13 for bug 519707

"rpm -qi udev-configure-printer" would tell you something like
---------------------------------------------
This package contains an utility that will ensure printers get
automatically configured when plugged on the computer.
---------------------------------------------
and
my famous yast2-printer help text in its "Autoconfig Settings"
dialog would tell you something like
---------------------------------------------
CUPS Autoconfiguration for USB Printers

Autoconfiguration is provided by two RPM packages:
The new 'udev-configure-printer' since openSUSE 11.2 and
the meanwhile deprecated 'cups-autoconfig' because the latter
uses HAL which is deprecated.
...
When udev-configure-printer is used,
automatic USB printer setup happens via the entries
in its udev config file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-printers.rules
which triggers to run 'udev-configure-printer add'
when a USB printer is plugged in
and 'udev-configure-printer remove' when it is unplugged.
There are no settings when udev-configure-printer is used
except one changes the 70-printers.rules file manually.
---------------------------------------------

In the very unlikely case that you do not desperately
need a nowadays full automagic USB printer setup tool
(and that you really are an traditional person who still
perfers to do your printer setup on your own ;-)
you might even dare to remove the udev-configure-printer
package to get unwanted automatisms out of your way,
