Hello everyone! I’d like to introduce my open-source project, Linux Printer Assistant 1.0 Beta. The goal is to make printer detection, setup, and troubleshooting on Linux easier and more accessible, especially for beginners. It’s experimental and was developed with the assistance of OpenAI ChatGPT. I’m looking for volunteers who would like to help test and improve the project: Linux users with USB printers, users willing to test network printer detection, developers interested in reviewing the code, or anyone who would like to report bugs and share feedback. If you’re interested, please reply here or contact me via private message, and I’ll share the link. Thank you

Please include some links, if any. Even if it’s to your GitHub profile, blog, or anything related.

Hi Hayden,

Thank you for your feedback!

I would be happy to include my GitHub repository.

Unfortunately, when I originally tried to publish the link, the forum displayed this error:

“Sorry you cannot post a link to that host.”

My project is called Linux Printer Assistant 1.0 Beta, and my GitHub username is Strahlemann01.

Could you please help me resolve this restriction so I can add the repository link to my Showcase post?

Thank you for your support!

Best regards,

Andreas

Welcome to the community [@Strahlemann](https://linuxcommunity.io/u/strahlemann) ! I’m wondering what printer-related problems your software aims to solve. Personally, finding and using printers on Linux has never been an issue.

Nun das kam ganz langsam.

Ich wollte meinen Drucker, einen Kyocera 1061DN, installieren. Dafür gab es keinen Treiber d.h. es gab einen sehr alten. Mein Mint hatte daraufhin immer reklamiert und nichts ausgedruckt.

Um andere nicht auch in so ein Problem zusehen dachte ich mir das Programm aus. Da ich ein absoluter User bin und keine Ahnung vom programmieren oder Linux gabe nahm ich ChatGPZ zu hilfe. Das kam ddabei dann raus.
