Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2007-03-02 13:00:40 UTC

There are two problems here:

1. The commandset is being given as a string instead of a list.  I've fixed that
in CVS now.

2. The 'report a bug' message is coming from failing to match an IEEE 1284
string with one in our database, but on closer inspection this is from the CUPS
snmp backend, and it's not a true IEEE 1284 string after all.

I might change that message so that it doesn't ask you to report a bug in that
case.  I wonder why there is a trailing blank in the model name though.

What does 'rpm -q cups' say?  Also, what output does this command give?:

  CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL=1 /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp

Comment 2 Fedora Update System 2007-04-10 16:53:25 UTC

Fixed in update: system-config-printer-0.7.52.1-2.fc6.
