Description Ted 2004-07-06 21:40:50 UTC

Description of problem:
When configuring a printer that is shared via SMB, the IP address
definition field does not work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-config-printer-0.6.79.5-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up a printer share on a windows workstation.
2.Put the workstation behind a firewall or on a different network
segment where the linux box cannot find it by SMB broadcasts.
3.Define the printers IP address in the printconf
(redhat-config-printer) tool.
4.Attempt to print a test page.


Actual Results:  The page will fail to print with a
NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL message.
Editing the printers.conf file by hand will produce the expected results.

What does the printers.conf file have before editing, and after editing?

Comment 2 Ted 2004-07-14 15:15:54 UTC

I think I just figured out what was wrong.  Under the share section I
was typing out the entire share instead of just the printer name.

Something like this:
Share:
//mis_print/pq_3_mis_2
Instead of just:
pq_3_mis2

Then under the hostname/ip section I was then typing the servers IP
address.  The configuration tool then uses the hostname from the share
section instead of from the hostname/ip section.  Maybe moving the
hostname/ip section above the share section will make things less
confusing.

Fixed in CVS.
