it's a know bug: BNC#869856

Autoyast has got some trouble, but didn't find any bug about "Exporting
Configuration" issue. Please open an SR.

Because gnome has the capabilitie to configure printer.

In the installation process or once the host is booted?

This mean no L3 support, but this doesnt mean that we won't provide
security or bug fixes.
