Comment 1 cruiseoveride 2006-09-07 23:51:34 UTC
the trouble make seems to be a currupt file, 
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/HP-Color_LaserJet_2800.xml
after deleteing it and replacing with a fresh copy 
all is good now.but here is something from foomatic for you guys

[root@server ~]# system-config-printer
No match for USB device:
  mfr "HP"
  model "Deskjet 5900 series"
  desc "5940"
  cmdset "MLC,PCL,PML,DW-PCL,DESKJET,DYN"
Please report this message in Bugzilla:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla
Choose 'foomatic' as the component.

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2006-09-08 12:28:21 UTC
Do you still have the original
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/HP-Color_LaserJet_2800.xml, the one that
caused the crash?  If so, please attach it here.

Comment 3 cruiseoveride 2006-09-08 14:27:38 UTC
im sorrry, but it needed to be fixed urgently, so i removed and reinstalled
foomatic completely.
I feel this problem was specific to my system, as the machine in question
suffered from a major file curruption caused by some proprietry backup software,
I think if system-config-printer, in the future were to come across a currupt
printer db xml file, it should try and skip it and display a warning, instead of
segfaulting.
Sorry about the file,

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2006-09-08 14:33:22 UTC
Unfortunately, without the original file it is no longer possible to discover
that the problem was that caused foomatic-combo-xml to crash.
