Tim,

Please note that bug is for FC6 and F7 that I am using (and it is fully updated..)

Tnx

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2007-06-29 13:01:04 UTC
So you're still seeing the problem in F-7?

The problem seems to be that the HAL URI for the printer is not "stable" -- i.e.
it changes from time to time.

This was used for job 630 (which failed):
hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_ffffffff_ffffffff_noserial_printer_noserial

This was used for job 631 (which succeeded):
hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_4e8_3268_3921BRJL304582___if0_printer_noserial

So the problem is that hal is giving us inconsistent URIs for this device.

Yes

still seeing in F7. I wonder why after installation of  printer, CUPS sees it
but call for the installation of another USB printer (same model, of course).
And after saying yes, now I have two twin printer (software, I mean..) also in
system-config-printer.

Really disappointing especially for newbies :-)

Please clarify what you mean by:

"CUPS sees it but call for the installation of another USB printer"


Comment 8 antonio montagnani 2007-06-29 14:54:54 UTC
Tim

I mean that if I had already installed my printer not by CUPS but by
system-config-printer, a standard user should not see another printer ready to
be installed in CUPS. I think that something is not clear....especially for
standard users..

Comment 9 Tim Waugh 2007-06-29 15:02:23 UTC
I don't expect "newbies" to be configuring printers using the web interface in
addition to system-config-printer.  The problem you mention concerns CUPS -- if
you think it is something that needs attention, please file a separate bug
report. (FWIW, the upstream bug reporting site is http://cups.org/str.php)
