I didn't get as far as I wanted with the printer page, I did adjust
http://docteam.mageia.nl/en/MCC/content/system-config-printer.html#network_printer
with the above in mind, but didn't do anything with what is below, yet.

@ Docteam members with Calenco access

If anyone has a HP multifunction printer, can you write a few lines
about this, or maybe write the scanner page?

I've seen that to work with printers of other brands as well, but I'm
not sure we should advise to try that

Ah, I would not have thought about adding that link to the page about
scanners, but for scanners that are part of a printer it makes sense :).

I hope someone with a real scanner (part of a printer or not) will
write that page soon.

Or does "set up scanner" now stand for "set up scanner or webcam"? I
saw the webcam of my laptop was detected as available scanner, but I
didn't try to set it up with scannerdrake

We'll add it.
