exported printers file for my site
That seems to have the whole thing twice. If you just use the first copy, does that work? Yeah, that worked. Sorry for the 'bug'. No problem. I spoke too soon. I may need to open a new bug, but: for the printer passilla, changing the type from jetdirect, with ip of 165.106.10.246 and port of 9100, to an lpd queue, with ip address of 165.106.10.246 and queue of '' (that's empty, as asked for by an Apple LW 16/600PS), applying (occasioning lpd restart), and then saving changes (occasioning a second lpd restart), and then using the config-printer-tui tool to export the "new" config results in a file with passilla still being a jetdirect queue, with the initial specs. Might this prob. be that config-printer-tui expects some value for queue, and because Apple's implementation is non-standard and doesn't take a queue name when printing via TCP directly to the printer? uh, nevermind. major configuration screwup on my part. I am _really_ sorry for the confusion. |
Description of problem: When attempting to merge a newer version of the printer file dumped with: /usr/sbin/redhat-config-printer-tui --Xexport > somefile.xml using the command: /usr/sbin/redhat-config-printer-tui --Ximport --merge < /home/setup/somefile.xml I receive the following messages: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/redhat-config-printer-tui", line 8, in ? printconf_tui.startup_and_find_cmd() File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_tui.py", line 2319, in startup_and_find_cmd main.cmd_handlers[cmd]() File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_tui.py", line 2003, in import_cmd_run ctx = AdmContext(xml = xmlstr) RuntimeError: failed to create a context ...and the merge fails In the above example, the exported file is copied onto an nfs share, so that a number of identically configured machines will pick up any changes at the next lpd restart.
