Which Viewer for the CUPS Web Interface?

This is where you post about usability issues (not bugs) in pre-release versions of Puppy 4.x (alphas, betas, rcs). Usability issues are things like poor contrast in the themes, non-ergonomic button layouts, unintuitive application behavior, etc.

Which Viewer for the CUPS Web Interface?

But Setup > CUPS Printer Wizard starts in bareview, which has no navigation buttons.

@WhoDo: If you are seeing navigation buttons, I believe that they are from left-over cached pages from the previous CUPS. Open the folder /root/.TestGtkEmbed, drill down to the Cache folder and clean it out. Then restart CUPS.

For the sake of consistency, the easiest solution is to have the CUPS wizard open in the user's default browser. Go to /usr/sbin/cups_shell and comment out Lines 27 and 28.

Yes thats always been one of Barry's preferences which makes changing default browsers difficult. Really having a back button is excellent, works like a charm. Theres also one of application that depends on bareview, Gxine I think it was. You might want to look into it, would be nice to simplify things. Good call Guys :)
