From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040218 Description of problem: The printer (Epson Stylus C62) has been set up by using the KDE Print Manager and Red Hat's Print Manager in Fedora Core 2 Test 1. At first, the printer was fine when I left the original font repertoire as is. Then I decided to add some TrueType fonts and no matter what fonts I added, it caused the printer to fail in every application (causing EggCups to crash or something). In KDE-based applications, it caused the print preview to appear as blank. Removing these fonts would most likely not solve the problem and because of this, I had to return to MandrakeLinux 9.0. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set up the printer drivers via KDE Print Manager or Red Hat's Print Manager. 2.Add a few random TrueType fonts. 3.Try to print a document in any application. Actual Results: The print icon appears in the system tray and disappears within 5 seconds. As for the printer, it would not print the requested document. Expected Results: The printer should have printed the document as usual while the print icon is displayed and then disappear as soon as the print job is completed. Additional info:
What you are describing sounds like several different problems; unfortunately you forgot to mention the *most* important things, the version numbers of the packages you are using. So, which versions do you have of: dbus cups desktop-printing You also didn't say how you added fonts to the system, or what settings the printer queue had. It will be much simpler if you pick one method for doing each and we can analyse that.
Changing component: no such package as redhat-config-printer any more.
The dbus, cups, and desktop-printing versions are the ones that come with Fedora Core 2 Test 1 by default, but since I am back to Mandrake 9.0, I cannot give you that information. But if you didn't upgrade any packages via Up2Date, then you'll be able to find out what versions I'm talking about. As for how I added the fonts, I simply used the file manager (Konqueror) and copied the TTF fonts to the fonts:/ folder. The settings for the printer are default settings except for colour output (360 by 360 dpi resolution, greyscale, US Letter, Four Colour Standard ink cartridges). Both methods for setting up the printer I found were just about identical.
So you can't test things now?
Sorry, I am unable to test things at this time.
