Description of problem: Using Printing Manager from KDE menu Settings > Printing Manager, after setting up all the printer attributes, it presented an Authorization Dialog asking for a Username and Password. Using the root values, it failed. It asked twice before presenting the failure dialog. I then retried using my user values, and the same thing repeated. I have all the printing packages provided in rawhide today installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest rawhide-provided packages as of 2/18/04 12:00 est. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select from KDE menu Settings > Printing Manager 2.Set up a printer (in this case it is a network LPD printer) 3. Actual results: App asks for username/password, but fails to use. Printer is actually defined, but without requested driver. Expected results: Ask for and accept root username/password and proceed with definition Additional info: App initially indicated that printing system was LPD/LPRNG. Changed to CUPS before proceeding. Default should be CUPS?
I logged out, logged in as root to see if I could set it up. Â It was already defined! Â Logged back in as a user, printer was flagged with a problem. Opened Gnome Print Manager. Decided to edit the printer - this time it asked me for a root password and let me edit it. Â I found that it was set up as Raw rather than as a PCL6 that I had tried to set up. Â Changed, and the printer now works from gedit, but prints blank pages (except for footer) from kwrite.
[This is a mass update sent to many bugs that missed earlier such messages due to having their version set to a test version.] This bug was originally filed against a version of Fedora Core which is no longer supported, even for security updates. Many changes have occured since then. Please retest this bug against a still supported version. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier. This bug will be closed after a few weeks if no information is given indicating that the bug is still present in a supported release.
