Description of problem: system-config-printer cannot add new printer from samba network without python-smbc $ system-config-printer ** (system-config-printer.py:13193): WARNING **: Can't load fallback CSS resource: Failed to import: The resource at '/org/gnome/adwaita/gtk-fallback.css' does not exist ** (system-config-printer.py:13193): WARNING **: Can't load fallback CSS resource: Failed to import: The resource at '/org/gnome/adwaita/gtk-fallback.css' does not exist Caught non-fatal exception. Traceback: File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py", line 2531, in on_btnSMBVerify_clicked ctx = pysmb.smbc.Context (debug=debug, auth_fn=do_auth) NameError: global name 'pysmb' is not defined Continuing anyway.. Actual results: no error message printer is just inaccessible Expected results: I should see error message: "You are stupid user, you have to install python-smbc before you try to add samba printer" Additional info:
Inaccessible? The Verify button won't work, but surely Forward works fine?
I apologize for misleading description of problem. I don't know whether forward button works. I didn't even tried it, because password was "wrong". In case the python-smbc is not installed, the user enters correct password, its verification fails. At the end the users ask administrator of network printer for help. The problem is, the system-config-printer should distinguish whether the password is incorrect, or the necessary package is missing. The expected behaviour is to show correct error message. The error message should lead to installation of package instead of printer password change. But not in the opposite case, when the package is installed and functional. In case of need of additional information, please run "yum remove python-smbc" command.
I think the upstream system-config-printer commit 1dffd4a is the final bit of the fix for this. https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/system-config-printer.git/commit/?id=1dffd4a

Basically the 'Verify' button shouldn't be sensitive when python-smbc isn't installed. That fix went in last week, a few days after the 1.4.6 release: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/system-config-printer.git/commit/?h=1.4.x&id=8adca607c6f76d7304667a2ffa16b0b628530d38
