Bug 163060

You need to fill in the "Steps to reproduce" section, or else I don't know how
you are setting the default queue, or which applications you are using, or what
you mean by "clear the browsed print queue" (which is automatically managed all
the time).

screenshot of printer queue showing invalid printer

How to reproduce.

This is an HP printer using the special hplip driver.
Originally I tried to setup the printer using the printconf-gui, but that
failed.
The printer you see labelled PSC1610 in the screenshot is that printer. If I
print to it, nothing happens.

Since I needed to print something pretty urgently, I removed that printer.
I then added a new printer, this time using the cups web interface. It worked.

browsed queues

Here is a list of browsed queues and valid printers.
My current printer, the one that works, is not shown.

The printer in the browsed queue cannot be deleted, and doesn't work.

evince print dialogue showing wrong default printer

This is the print dialogue for evince showing the wrong default printer.
I get the same dialogue in gedit.

Note that the default printer in attachment 116683 [details] shows that psc-1600-series-1
should be the default printer.

The old, unworking printer was removed using printconf-gui.
The new, working printer was made the default using printconf-gui.

Apologies for the bugspam.

Two issues here:

* browsed printer doesn't work
  This is a configuration problem on your site.

* print dialog doesn't highlight specified default queue
  This is a libgnomeprintui bug I think.

Reassigning.

This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd.

Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and
either update the target product or close it ?

Thanks.

It works better, but restarting the application that uses the printer is required.

Adding some text to make bug change to ASSIGNED again.
If this doesn't work, please can otaylor change the status?
