In short, kde cups configurator is broken (on 64 bit platforms anyway). don't use it. system-config-printer is the way to go. See also bug #230979 (pretty much a dup) Yes, this is pretty much a duplicate - but I didn't find bug 230979t when I searched since I restricted component to cups. I'm still using the KDE configuration tools - once the ServerBin is explicitly set in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, the bogus default is not a problem any more, since the KDE config tools do read and parse the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file. Having ServerBin specified *explicitly* as /usr/lib/cups in the default /etc/cups/cupds.conf in the cups RPM (since this value is *not* architecture specific) would prevent the problem - which is a KDE bug, I am willing to admit; it's just that it might be easier to fix/workaround in CUPS until it gets fixed in KDE. @alex Excellent investigative work, many Thanks. Knowing that, it shouldn't be rocket science for us to change/fix kde's default value too for ServerBin *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 230979 *** Will be fixed in 3.5.9-2 |
