This functionality will be much easier with the newer (3.0-based) foomatic, when it's ready. *** Bug 87671 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Foomatic 3 has arrived in trees a while ago now.... *** Bug 106865 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 113477 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** i am experiencing this same problem with EWS3. kprinter & cups see the PPD, but redhat-config-printer does not, nor does there seem to be a way to 'teach' it to. Bill: See #113477 - it's been added in Fedora Core 2; for EWS3, you'll either need to compile your own redhat-config-printer based on the FC2 or FC3 sources, or wait for EWS4 to arrive. |
Description of problem: I have a Tektronix 740p which is not one of the built in choices. I figured out where to add the ppd file manually, but even after I did this the print manager application did not act on it. I was able to add it via kprint and configure the printer as I wanted (duplex printing, use lower tray, face down). However after I did this print mamanger showed it as a "raw" printer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. obtain ppd file for printer (verify EOL markers) 2. move to /usr/share/cups/model 3. try to add printer via print manager. Actual results: ppd file is not a choice, you must use kprint instead. Expected results: should be able to add a "driver" (e.g. ppd file) from print manager gui. Additional info:
