From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: When configuring a printer that is shared via SMB, the IP address definition field does not work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-printer-0.6.79.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set up a printer share on a windows workstation. 2.Put the workstation behind a firewall or on a different network segment where the linux box cannot find it by SMB broadcasts. 3.Define the printers IP address in the printconf (redhat-config-printer) tool. 4.Attempt to print a test page. Actual Results: The page will fail to print with a NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL message. Editing the printers.conf file by hand will produce the expected results. Additional info:
What does the printers.conf file have before editing, and after editing?
I think I just figured out what was wrong. Under the share section I was typing out the entire share instead of just the printer name. Something like this: Share: //mis_print/pq_3_mis_2 Instead of just: pq_3_mis2 Then under the hostname/ip section I was then typing the servers IP address. The configuration tool then uses the hostname from the share section instead of from the hostname/ip section. Maybe moving the hostname/ip section above the share section will make things less confusing.
Fixed in CVS.
