From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/8.51 (X11; Linux i686; U; en) Description of problem: While creating a printer with /usr/bin/printconf I was shown the following output: No IEEE 1284 match: {'model': 'HP LaserJet 5Si', 'description': '', 'cmdset': 'PJL,MLC,PCL,POSTSCRIPT', 'manufacturer': 'Hewlett-Packard'} Please report this message in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla Choose 'foomatic' as the component. No SNMP match: 'HP LaserJet 5Si' Please report this message in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla Choose 'foomatic' as the component. Printer is PostScript-capable: selecting generic PS The printer HP LaserJet 5Si (ID: HP-LaserJet_5Si) is not supported by the driver Postscript! Couldn't load driver information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): foomatic-3.0.2-19 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run /usr/bin/printconf from terminal (so message can be seen) 2. Create printer object for "LaserJet 5Si" 3. Note error, request for bug report submission Actual Results: Saw error message shown above Expected Results: No errors should be seen Additional info: # rpm -q foomatic system-config-printer ghostscript cups foomatic-3.0.2-19 system-config-printer-0.6.131.3-1 ghostscript-7.07-41 cups-1.1.23-15.3
Created attachment 122999 [details] /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/HP-LaserJet_5Si.xml Please save this file as /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/HP-LaserJet_5Si.xml Is the correct printer model automatically selected from the list when you go to add a new queue now?
>Is the correct printer model automatically selected from the list > when you go to add a new queue now? No. I saved the file, restarted CUPS and attempted to create another printer. As before I ran /usr/bin/printconf from an X terminal window I started by creating a JetDirect-connected printer. After entering the IP address of the printer I clicked the Forward button, which took me to the Printer Model. It was then that the following output was shown in the terminal window: No IEEE 1284 match: {'model': 'HP LaserJet 5Si', 'description': '', 'cmdset': 'PJL,MLC,PCL,POSTSCRIPT', 'manufacturer': 'Hewlett-Packard'} Please report this message in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla Choose 'foomatic' as the component. No SNMP match: 'HP LaserJet 5Si' Please report this message in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla Choose 'foomatic' as the component. Printer is PostScript-capable: selecting generic PS The Printer Model shows "Postscript Printer" as the default selection. I don't know if it is relevant, but the specific model of printer I am connecting to is a LaserJet 5Si-MX. Perhaps the -MX is a factor in the printer identification problem?
How about after you do this as root?: rm -f /var/cache/foomatic/*
After the deletion, creation of a JetDirect queue correctly shows me "LaserJet 5Si" as the default model. The test page printeed successfully. Probably related: when I went to edit the queue (to add double-sided printing) I was shown this message: The printer HP LaserJet 5Si (ID: HP-LaserJet_5Si) is not supported by the driver Postscript! Couldn't load driver information. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/printconf/util/queueTree.py", line 600, in edit_button_clicked if self.editQueue.editQueueDialog (iter): File "/usr/share/printconf/util/editQueue.py", line 427, in editQueueDialog self.select_printer_iter (iter) File "/usr/share/printconf/util/editQueue.py", line 511, in select_printer_iter self.printer_model_selected (self.printer_view) File "/usr/share/printconf/util/editQueue.py", line 841, in printer_model_selected driver_index = self.recommended_driver AttributeError: editQueue instance has no attribute 'recommended_driver' At this point all Queues shown in the window are grayed-out, seemingly forever. I can close the app (it is not hung-up) but cannot interact with it. After re-opening the applet, I can successfully edit the other queue shown (LJ 4500), but attempting to edit the 5Si-MX queue always results in a lack of user access.
Please try foomatic-3.0.2-19.2: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-January/msg00458.html
Closing due to lack of response by reporter.
