Description Mathias Nicolajsen Kjærgaard 2006-02-08 12:44:47 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20060202 Fedora/1.0.7-1.2.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
Printing to a eplaser printer (Epson AcuLaser C1900) fails because foomatic-gswrapper selects "| cat >&3" as outputfile instead of "/dev/fd/3".

"| cat >&3" is selected because "test -e /dev/fd/3" returns false. I do not know why, since "ls -la /dev/fd/" returns:

dr-x------  2 root root  0 Feb  8 13:43 .
dr-xr-xr-x  5 root root  0 Feb  8 13:43 ..
lrwx------  1 root root 64 Feb  8 13:43 0 -> /dev/pts/2
lrwx------  1 root root 64 Feb  8 13:43 1 -> /dev/pts/2
lrwx------  1 root root 64 Feb  8 13:43 2 -> /dev/pts/2
lr-x------  1 root root 64 Feb  8 13:43 3 -> /proc/7188/fd

and if the attached patch is applied, printing works.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
foomatic-3.0.2-19.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. By an Epson AcuLaser C1900
2. Configure the printer
3. Print a test-page

I do not know if this is the correct way to fix the problem, but it works for
me.

Weird.  I don't understand why that would be the case. :-/
Comment 5 Mathias Nicolajsen Kjærgaard 2006-02-13 06:33:25 UTC 
It seems the bug has already been solved i FC5-test2(With a similar change of
foomatic-gswrapper). For me it is OK to close the bug.
I am sorry it did not check FC5 before reporting.
