Bug 747866

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Moving this to the printer driver side - we should find the right driver.

Is this still a problem?  This report is quite old.

If you are still seeing this issue, please run this command with the printer connected and switched on. What output do you get?

su -c 'lpinfo -v'

Yes this problem still exists. The wrong driver (text driver) installs automatically. The "Dymo LabelWriter 400" is local connect with an USB-connection.
In Ubuntu 13.04 it is still the same wrong driver recommended, but I can select manually the right dymo-driver (gfx capable).
In Fedora 19 beta Nightly 2013-06-10 LiveCD (this test) I can't change the wrong driver.

So lpinfo -v outputs:

network socket
network lpd
network https
network ipps
network http
serial serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=115200
network ipp
network smb
direct usb://DYMO/LabelWriter%20400?serial=07000216492455
network dnssd://HP%20LaserJet%20P2015%20Series%20(108DA7)._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/


Thanks Rolle

Thanks.  What about 'lpinfo -l -v'?

lpinfo -l -v

You can choose which driver to use by using the 'system-config-printer' application, which appears as "Print Settings" in the application list in GNOME.

Which driver is correct for this device?

Now I installed the Fedora 19 beta and updated to the latest packages 2013-06-14 (Kernel 3.9.5, CUPS 1.6.2). After the automatically installation of the wrong text driver I see I can click on the "modell"-field "text only driver" and can change the driver to "Dymo Label Printer". This is only possible then I UNLOCKED the settings. So this manually change works. But I think this unvisible button will many user overseen. So now this works. Fine.

The other problem that the automatism installs the wrong driver must be fixed. The right driver is "Dymo/Dymo Label Printer". And this one works fine.

Thank you Tim.

This driver is actually provided by CUPS itself.  Should be fixed in cups-1.6.2-10.fc19.

cups-1.6.2-12.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19.

Works perfectly.
In Fedora 19 Final Release (DVD ISO, 2013-07-02) is yet the older cups package. But then I updated on 2013-07-05 the new cups package is here. Now I can plug in the "Dymo LabelWriter 400" and the printer is automatically recognized and the right graphics-capable driver is automatically installed.

Thank you Tim.
