I just had a customer with an up2dated 7.1 and he had the same symptoms. workaround as above seemed to help. printconf-0.2.12-1 printconf-gui-0.2.12-1 pygtk-0.6.6-7 pygnome-1.0.53-7 pygnome-libglade-0.6.6-7 pygtk-libglade-0.6.6-7 perl-5.6.0-12 I'll attach a strace from the customer for more info Giuseppe Created attachment 33761 [details]
output of strace -olog2.txt printtool
Is this bug still current? The 7.2 package doesn't seem to have the same line anywhere. *** Bug 47638 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** With RH7.2 I did not get this error message, but with a clean RH7.2 I couldn't print either. First I had to install the available printing related updates due to errors in the Laserjet 4 printer driver. Peter But with those updates the problem is fixed? This was a translation problem. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [de] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: printconf-gui denies to create jetdirect printerqueue and it gives an error message (see below). If I reopen printconf-gui it crashes with the same error and I can't print. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a fresh installation of alchemist, printconf, printconf-gui from RH7.1 CD 2. Start printconf-gui via a shell 3. Create an jetdirect-printer as normal => First error message 4. Save changes and close printconf-gui 5. Start printconf-gui again and it crashes again =>Second error message Actual Results: I get the following error message: File "/usr/sbin/printconf-gui", line 567, in gizmo_queue_description details = _("%s JetDirect queue %s:%s") % ( ValueError: unsupported format character 'S' (0x53) Expected Results: There should be created a jetdirect printerqueue. Additional info: If I change at line 567: _("%s JetDirect queue %s:%s") to _("%s JetDirect queue %s on %s") everything works fine. It seems that ":" creates this error. It's the rpm that shipped with RH 7.1.
