Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 225351
system-config-printer sees the windows workgroup, but not the machine or printer to share
Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:35 EDT
Description of problem: The utility is able to see the windows workgropus on LAN, but when you click to expand one workgroup, in order to see the machines in it and the subsequent printers shared, it doesn't show anything. It's not possible to add the printer in FC6. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-printer.i386 0.7.49-1.fc6 installed system-config-printer-libs.i386 0.7.49-1.fc6 installed How reproducible: Just try to add a windows xp shared printer in FC6 through system-config-network. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a printer in Windows XP. Share it with right-click. 2. Open system-config-printer in FC6 and try to add the shared printer. Actual results: Nothing happens. The printer won't show or open or install. You get, in the terminal, this message at the exact moment you double click the workgroup name listed below "share" in the box (when selected Windows printer via SAMBA"). [root@localhost ~]# system-config-printer Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 2031, in on_tvSMBBrowser_cursor_changed domain_iter = store.iter_parent (parent_iter) TypeError: child should be a GtkTreeIter Expected results: Be able to see the machine under the windows workgroup name, by clicking on it, and then the printer shared under it. And then be able to install it in FC6. PS: I have a VM in my FC6 box, with Windows XP, and it's able to see and use the shared printer I would like to add in FC6. That certifies the share is ok. Additional info: When I do a smbclient -L=//ip I get: [duli@localhost ~]$ smbclient -L=//192.168.0.202 Password: Domain=[RONALDO] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC IPC remoto print$ Disk Drivers de impressora HP1000 Printer hp LaserJet 1000 ADMIN$ Disk Administração remota C$ Disk Recurso compartilhado padrão shared Disk session request to 192.168.0.202 failed (Called name not present) session request to 192 failed (Called name not present) Domain=[RONALDO] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- ps: The share is visible: "HP1000 Printer hp LaserJet 1000".
ps: the windows machine that has the shared printer is not in a domain. The share was made just by a right-click on the printer.
What is the output of running /usr/share/system-config-printer/pysmb.py
This is the output: [duli@fc6 ~]$ /usr/share/system-config-printer/pysmb.py {'IP': '192.168.0.202', 'DOMAIN': 'HOMENET'}
Created attachment 151378 [details] prevent traceback This does not dolve detection of printers, but prevents a traceback happening by not assuming that a cursor change event always happens on a printer share. The traceback can be reporduced by browsing a host with shares but no printers aming them. Interestingly I get the traceback but the app does not crash as with the other reporters.
Thanks. I've applied that patch in CVS.
I am having exactly the same problem, although I am using Fedora 7. All software is fully up to date. I do not get te traceback as I assume my version of system-config-printer has the above patch. output of pysmb.py is {'IP': '192.168.11.5', 'DOMAIN': 'SLT'} The ip is of another computer on the network, though not the one with the printer I want to add.
Created attachment 185341 [details] pysmb.py Please try this pysmb.py -- just run 'python pysmb.py' and tell me what output you get.
