Right. kontrol-panel incorrectly listed LPRngTool as the printer configuration tool. The printer configuration tool is printconf-gui, and this has been fixed in kontrol-panel. The printing system has been completely overhauled. It is much different. Your adventures with rhs-printfilters (which has been obsoleted) have surely confused your system. run printconf-gui |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0-0.99.11 i686; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010118 I am not sure that what I am posting is necessarily a new bug. I checked out other bugs posted and there are two that are very similar to mine but do not seem to explicitly state exactly what is happenning. Being a person who likes clarity, I decided to state the problem in clearer less ambiguous terms. When I install Red Hat Fisher, it does not seem, by default to install the LPrng rpm. I am not sure if this is by accident or by design. However, I noticed immediately when I started Gnome that the Control Panel did not have an icon for the printer as it has typically in every other Red Hat release I've used prior to Fisher. I didn't think much of it and figured maybe the print tool just changed location. I decided since I also had KDE installed that I wanted to try it out. When I tried accessing the print tool from within KDE it complained mentioning something about the LPrng tool being needed. Therefore, I took it upon myself to look up on the web for this tool and found it on a web page which also stated I needed rhs-printfilters. So I downloaded both of these once I located them on the web ensuring that they were in rpm format because I love installing via rpm rather then thru source. And my printing system started to work after some tweaking. However, even after installing these packages from the net, some bizarre behavior has occurred that never happenned before when I used Previous versions of Red hat which auto installed those files. What happenned is that a few times my printcap file has become corrupt for no apparent reason that I can determine. I never modify the printcap file manually so I have no idea how it could have been corrupted. Secondly, when I try to use the print tool from within the control panel to add a printer as I have with previous versions of red hat, it creates the file /var/spool/lpd/lp . However, it does not create this file with the correct permissions and whenever the printcap file gets corrupted and I am forced to delete the printer from the print tool and reinstall it, it recreates this file with incorrect permissions. This forces me each time this occurs to go thru a rather annoying process to get it to work again. I am always successful in getting it to work again. However, the printcap file seems to get corrupted every once in awhile. This does not occur real frequently, but frequently enough to be a major pain. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. install red hat fisher 2. install LPrng latest version 3.install rhs-printfilters from rpm.org 4. install Epson Sylus any stcany 360x360 Actual Results: I was able to successfully install the printer but it seems that it is not very reliable. This may have to do with incompatibilities between the rpms that I downloaded and the changes made in Red hat Fisher. Things basically work after installing the rpms but the printcap file crashes consistently. The steps above should help to try to reproduce the problem though they may not help exactly. In order to assist more thoroughly I will try to submit as many of my log files and details of my system architecture as possible. Expected Results: the printer should have been installed and should work properly without causing any corruption to the printcap file.
