Description Terry Moschou 2013-10-10 07:43:23 UTC
Description of problem:
Started system-config-printer from kickoff KDE.
Actually there are several printer config menu items for some reason.
I believe the one I chose corresponds to 
/usr/share/applications/system-config-printer.desktop
from package 'system-config-printer-1.4.2-1.fc19.x86_64'
the other was 
/usr/share/kde4/services/kcm_printer_manager.desktop
from package 'kde-print-manager-4.11.1-1.fc19.x86_64'

Went to add new printer
Authenticated as admin, twice.
First case:
  System policy prevents to change the firewall configuration
  Action: Firewall configuration
  Vendor: FirewallD
Second case:
  Privileges are required to get list of available devices
  Action: Get list of available devices
  Vendor: The openSUSE Project

openSUSE? should that be right?

Under Devices->Network Printer several entries marked 'None' appeared after a while.
I sellected one of them, before the error occured.

That's correct, yes. cups-pk-helper originates from openSUSE.

Hmm, I don't remember ever seeing any 'None' entries there.

Means that device.menuentry was unicode while device.info was (utf-8) encoded,
I'll check what can be done here.

Comment 5 Nathanael Noblet 2013-10-17 00:22:30 UTC
doesn't seem to fix it for me. (I manually edited that line (2685) in a similar way and I got 

device.menuentry += " (%s)" % [ device.info('utf-8') if isinstance(w,bytes) else w for w in device.info ]
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Probably did it wrong however I also applied the patch linked to above. Still no go.

Comment 6 Jiri Popelka 2013-10-17 07:41:14 UTC
I actually made one more commit later.
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/system-config-printer.git/commit/?id=856349f18be42f0c95e1f021c348d4858e54a1f3

Would be great if you could try it too.
You can simply replace
/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py
with
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/system-config-printer.git/plain/newprinter.py

If that doesn't help I'll add some debug outputs so we can see what is actually going on there.

Comment 7 Nathanael Noblet 2013-10-17 14:55:05 UTC
So after struggling with it for a bit I renamed the computer that was advertising the printer and this solved the issue. Its an iMac so they do some stupid "Soand-So's-iMac" naming convention. My guess is that the apostrophe is one of those odd apostrophe's similar to the ones MS uses the 'Smart/Curly' apostrophe. Anyway I'll rename the computer and try out your file and report back.
