windows print queue's have always been a (semi) optional feature in the past, I'd suggest keeping it that way, and simply add samba-client to comps as appropriate (to avoid a hard dependency). If that's agreeable, need to figure out what "comps as appropriate" means. :) Confirmed that samba-client is already a default item in comps-f19.xml printing/"Printer Support" group It didn't get automatically installed on an F19 liveCD. if I recall correctly we exclude the printing group from the livecd in the kickstart file printing group isn't included on live images ... yet, for whatever reason. Probably due to space in the past. Maybe that could be revisited now I'm still not entirely sure why you are seeing this symptom. As far as I can tell the samba-client commands are only used in the cupsAdminExportSamba() function, which is not used by system-config-printer. This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
in adminutil.c, cups has samba helper functions that work by forking smbclient and similar command line tools, yet the Fedora cups package does not have a dependency on samba-client. This causes cryptic error messages ("Failed to add a printer" or "CLIENT ERROR NOT POSSIBLE") when trying to add a Samba printer. Please add the following line to cups.spec: Requires: samba-client
