Description Joshua Jensen 2004-03-17 16:24:16 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040204

Description of problem:
This command should throw an error:

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p kprinter -v <whatever> -D "Kprinter GUI" -E -L
<whatever> -m xyz123

There is no ppd description file called xyz123, yet the printer entry
is still created in CUPS' printer.conf file.  However, there is no
corresponding ppd file created in /etc/cups/ppd.

This causes GNOME to say, whenever bringing up a GNOME print window:

"GnomePrintCupsPlugin-WARNING **: The CUPS printer kprinter could not
be created

Model not found, discarding config"


lpadmin should complain about xyz123 not being found, instead of
silently mis-configuring cups by only providing a partially correct setup.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Command giving above

Any progress on this?  This shouldn't be too hard to fix
Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2004-06-25 10:26:48 UTC 
This works correctly (i.e. gives an error) with cups-1.1.20, as found
in Fedora Core 2.  This fix will be included in a future version of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Thanks for your report.
