This has been fixed in Fedora 16 by using system-config-printer's methods for finding closest match. I'm closing this with resolution nextrelease. Marek |
Description of problem: When connecting an Epson Stylus D78, no queue is added even though gutenprint-cups supports a very close match and is installed. This worked in Fedora 14. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-settings-daemon-2.91.93-1.fc15.x86_64 gutenprint-cups-5.2.6-3.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Connect printer for which there is no exact driver match Actual results: 1. A notification is displayed briefly Configuring new printer Please wait... 2. gnome-packagekit dialog is seen, querying available drivers. This does not find any (expected) 3. The 'Configuring new printer' notification is replaced by another notification: Missing printer driver No printer driver for EPSON Stylus D78 This disappears after a very short time. Expected results: Either the queue should be configured using a close-matching driver, for example the one used in Fedora 14 was "Epson Stylus D68 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.6 Simplified", OR, the user should be given some indication as to what they are supposed to do next to get their printer working. Additional info: "lpinfo -l -v" output contains: Device: uri = usb://EPSON/Stylus%20D78 class = direct info = EPSON Stylus D78 make-and-model = EPSON Stylus D78 device-id = MFG:EPSON;CMD:ESCPL2,BDC,D4,D4PX;MDL:Stylus D78;CLS:PRINTER;DES:EPSON Stylus D78; location =
