Okay... So, technically it doesn't hang: after *nearly an hour*, it throws up an error dialog that says "Failed to add new printer." And this is printed to the console: (gnome-control-center:21322): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: Timeout was reached (gnome-control-center:21322): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: GDBus.Error:org.opensuse.CupsPkHelper.Mechanism.NotPrivileged: Not Authorized for action: org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.printer-remote-edit Yes, error message comes fairly quickly and has "Failed to add new printer." Work around is to add the printer with IPP. Searching in Systems Tools->System Settings->Printers does not work well. IPP search does not work automagically as it has in the past. Selecting the "Network" radio button and entering the IP into the address field and then changing focus elsewhere does result in the printer being shown. But selecting it and selecting "Add" does cause failure to add. Perhaps becasue the server is Fedora 14. But IPP printer add to this printer have always worked before from fedora and ubuntu. Workaround: Go to IPP for the laptop: localhost:631 (at 192.168.2.106) Add a printer and choose IPP. Add the URL similar to ipp://192.168.0.110:631/printers/PSC-2170-Series. You can find the printer queue name with IPP on the server: http://192.168.0.110:631/printers/ UI bugs: the buttons are not enabled properly. They remain in a "disabled" UI appearance (partially shaded or transparent) although they are ready to use and can be used. Happens in both error message dialog and in add printers flow. (In reply to comment #2) > Yes, error message comes fairly quickly and has "Failed to add new printer." If the error message comes up quickly for you, then you are most likely seeing a different bug. I'm no longer seeing this. This time around I did see some dialogs about opening some ports in the firewall so that the printer could be detected. Perhaps that was related. |
