Description David Kaplan 2006-04-07 23:58:07 UTC

Description of problem:
I run gnome-photo-printer and on the printer and paper tabs the only thing that 
appears is "[custom widget creation failed]".

The following error text is spit out to the terminal:

$ gnome-photo-printer

(gnome-photo-printer:23332): libglade-WARNING **: could not find widget creation
function

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gpp-0.6.5-3.fc5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.gnome-photo-printer
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
two tabs inactivated making program useless

Expected results:
should show a list of printers and papers

Additional info:
This worked for FC3, but now it doesn't.  However, I think this has more to do
with the network setup - I am on a network with lots of shared printers and it
seems to be having problems getting the PPD for some of them and failing as a
result - perhaps these printers should just be excluded from the list or marked
as not available.

I've forwarded this report to the gpp author, sv for comment.

Comment 2 Armijn Hemel 2006-07-03 09:44:14 UTC

Regarding the fact that it is something related to networked printers, I can
tell you that it's not. I'm here on a system with a USB printer and I have
exactly the same problem. In the paper and printer tab I get the same error.

Comment 3 Matt Domsch 2006-07-03 14:18:56 UTC

I've been in communication with the upstream author.  He's got a fix (1 line 
in configure.ac he claims), but I haven't received a new build from him yet.  
Soon as I get it, I plan to release an update for FC-5 and -devel branches.

Comment 4 Matt Domsch 2006-07-08 15:43:04 UTC

0.6.6-1 released fixes this.  Building now.
