This has been posted to test@ list, too. The culprit may be any backend tool/lib instead of system-config-printer itself, but troubleshooting needs to start somewhere. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-printer-1.5.11-8.fc28.x86_64 and any dependencies it may have, on 2018-Apr-27. [...] Description of problem: Where F26 succeeds with exactly the same setup steps, F28 fails with multiple symptoms. Any print job only ends up in the queue and leads to disabling the printer and either a "filter failed" or "printer paused" error. I've filed one SELinux error that occurs when trying to print a test page: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1572231 A similar topic has been posted to test@ list on April 10 and contains a few debug details, but has not seen any public replies: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/I33KB3DVOWXCSP23NHEORDSXTQ65PTMC/

I also got this bug. My coworker uses a Windows machine with a printer hooked up to her machine via USB. In the past, I could connect fine using "smb://computername/printername". I tested using Ubuntu 18, and it also fails, but it works fine for Ubuntu 17 and Fedora 27. Because it fails for both the newest Ubuntu and Fedora, it must be an upstream bug. In the terminal, smbtree and smbclient work fine. However, smbclient's print command won't work, saying NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. For the previous Fedora/Ubuntu, it worked fine. Things I tried: - Turned off and disabled firewalld - Set SELinux to disabled and restarted - Edited cups.conf and changed AuthType to none - Edited cups.conf to quote "printername" instead of using "%20" for spaces As the last point notes, the "printername" has spaces, but it always worked fine using "%20" in place of spaces for the previous version. I haven't tested it with a printer name without spaces.
Hi guys, thank you reporting this issue and your patience! I think the error doesn't lie in system-config-printer, but in cups or rather samba. Would you mind attaching cupsd debug log with loglevel debug? Manual here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_printing_problems
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
