Bug 186687

What architecture?

x86

Please attach:

1. the output of 'lpstat -s'
2. the output of 'printconf-tui --Xexport', making sure to replace any passwords
for remote printers with '***'
3. /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
4. /etc/cups/printers.conf if it exists (note: printers.conf not printer.conf)

Thanks.

I've also attached the other two files. Please note that this is the ouput after
I've manualy added the printer from /etc/cups/printers.conf.rpmsave

Created attachment 126810 [details]
The cupsd.conf file where I manually added the Inkjet and LaserJet entries. After that I removed them and added the HP printern.

Created attachment 126811 [details]
The current printers.conf

This file didn't exist. I copied it from the .rpmsave file, this is the file
after removing the *Jet printers and added the HP printer

Created attachment 126812 [details]
The original file

This is the file that was created after installing cups from rawhide.

My theory is that the SELinux policy prevents printconf-backend from creating
/etc/cups/printers.conf.  It only has the ability to modify the existing file. 
I'm building a CUPS package that ships an empty printers.conf file, so we'll see
if that helps.

I have SELinux disabled. 

Ah, in that case it's just this bug in printconf-backend:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/printconf-backend", line 7, in ?
    import backend
  File "/usr/share/printconf/util/backend.py", line 808, in ?
    printers_conf_lines = file (printers_conf).readlines ()
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/cups/printers.conf'

In any case, cups-1.2-0.2.rc1.1 should fix it.

Thanks for the report!

This seems fixed. This bug can be closed for me!
