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.

Any progress on this? This shouldn't be too hard to fix
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.
Thanks Tim!
