Description Peter Fales 2006-10-30 16:55:09 UTC

Description of problem:

Did an upgrade from FC4 to FC6.   Most of the printers were migrated cleanly,
but a very dumb text-only printer stopped working.   I tried to restore it using
system-config-printer, but Generic/text-only is no longer listed as a choice. 
Is there a reason why this was dropped?  I can't believe I'm the only one using
a text-only printer.


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


How reproducible:  very


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run system-config-printer
2. Select "New" and create local printer.  Use "Generic" for Manufacturer
  
Actual results: "Text Only Printer" is not listed as a choice.


Expected results:  Able to see and select "Text Only Printer"


Additional info: I was able to work around the problem by copying the .ppd file
and /usr/lib/cups/filter/textonly from the FC4 backups.

Yes, it somehow got missed in the re-write.  We'll add it back in.

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2006-10-31 13:33:34 UTC

Fixed in CVS.

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2006-11-01 09:50:28 UTC

This test update should restore the text-only printer:
