We (Red Hat) should really try to resolve this before next release. did you click 'apply'? (Yes, it should bug you about saving and restarting, but it does now.) Ah, this is because names (for various reasons) cannot start with a didgit in printconf. This is a limitation of the encoding, and a check to prevent this error has been introduced. So, the traceback won't happen, but I can't make '832c' a valid name and keep the configuration merging capabilities of printconf. |

Trying to generate print queue by selecting HP 832C does not create print queue. /etc/printcap is empty. Have re-installed "Fisher" twice, taking default partitioning, KDE workstation. Never asks if I wish to setup printer!! (I seem to remember we did in 6.2 ?!). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. "printtool" 2. Try to create '832C' as queue name 3. Select HP ==> Deskjet 832C 4. Click OK 5. NO QUEUE generated!!! Actual Results: Error output in description Expected Results: I should have been able to create a printer. Correct driver is apparenetly selected...
