I have to go back to the standard gui to do that. My printers are Brother MFC-J6520DW and MFC-J6930DW installed from the Brother supplied software using cups. Have I missed something in the install of MATE? -- Cheers Bill

On Centos 7 that functionality is provided by the system-config-printer rpm, as seen here: system-config-printer-1.4.1-21.el7.x86_64 system-config-printer-libs-1.4.1-21.el7.noarch system-config-printer is the actual gui program. On Centos 8 the only system-config-printer rpms appear to be this: system-config-printer-udev-1.5.11-13.el8.x86_64 system-config-printer-libs-1.5.11-13.el8.noarch Neither of those is the system-config-printer gui. So it appears to be missing. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com
The corresponding system-config-printer rpm from Fedora 28 appears to work.? Not the best solution but a solution.
