Printer Applet Screen Shot 2
I am having the same issue. Samsung ML-2510 Mono Laser connected via USB. From http://fedorasolved.org/Members/bookwar/gnome-3-tips : Some people are having difficulty adding a network printer from the default graphical interface (system-configure-printer-applet). A bug report has been files and a work around is to use 'system-config-printer' (In reply to comment #3) > From http://fedorasolved.org/Members/bookwar/gnome-3-tips : > > Some people are having difficulty adding a network printer from the default > graphical interface (system-configure-printer-applet). A bug report has been > files and a work around is to use 'system-config-printer' I tried this before submitting comment 2 and I was still unable to add a printer. After a few weeks of searching for workarounds, I gave up. I am now running Ubuntu 11.10. I'll be happy to try Fedora again in a future release if they fix this issue. This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
Created attachment 512033 [details] Printer Applet Screen Shot 1 Trying to add a printer. Applications -> System Settings -> Printers Figure 1 is displayed. I unlock, and click the plus ('+') sign. Add Figure 2, I add the printer's name. Clicking add takes me back to figure 1 without adding. Doing nothing (hoping that the printer is resolved) does nothing. What gives?
