Description of problem: This causes printing to a remote cups printer to fail. The default error message "usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp failed" is not very helpful. Only by changing the loglevel to debug can it be seen that page rendering fails because this package is missing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: unknown. (assumed always). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC6 using defaults. 2. Configure a remote cups printer using cups web interfaces on http://localhost:631 or by using the Gnome menu item System->Administration->Printing. 3. Try to print a test page. Actual results: No jobs are printing Expected results: Pretty colors and text on paper Additional info: Until packages is added to FC6 by default, simply do a: yum install pnm2ppa
What does 'rpm -q system-config-printer' say? The updated package should have warned about this.
[root@tuxdev ~]# rpm -q system-config-printer system-config-printer-0.7.40-1.fc6 I assure you that I've never seen any warning about pnm2ppa.
Oh, there was a bug in the checking code, now fixed in CVS.
Okay. I guess we'll have to take your word for it :)
The fix will be in a future update shortly.
Please try 0.7.43-1.fc6 from updates-testing: yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update 'system-config-printer*' When setting up a new queue that requires a package not installed you should get a warning message.
Fixed in update: system-config-printer-0.7.45-1.fc6
I did the update, but since I had already fixed the problem by installing the needed package pnm2ppa manually.
(brain fart) comment#8 cont... I didn't get a warning message.
