Description of problem: Installed F7 (rawhide from approx t3 freeze) configured printing to Epson Stylus Photo R300 printed test page OK I originally had extras repos disabled, upon re-enabling them I noticed gutenprint was set to replace gimp-print, so I allowed it to do so, following this the existing printer stopped working, I tried deleting and re-adding the printer, it failed with a message about missing driver, ijsgimpprint, I note instead that the program ijsgutenprint.5.0 exists instead. Name : gutenprint Arch : x86_64 Version: 5.0.0.99.1 Release: 2.fc7
I notice that gutenprint-cups wasn't installed, so installed it, and installed it. I then ran # cups-genppdupdate.5.0 No Gutenprint PPD files to update. # cups-genppdconfig.5.0 About to call stp_init Called stp_init About to call stp_init Called stp_init dialog(1) is not available, but is required for interactive use. at /usr/sbin/cups-genppdconfig.5.0 line 74. # cups-genppd Running system-config-printer, I did notice there were "many" drivers listed for my Epson R300, choosing the en_GB one, made it crash though "/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.5.0: found /usr/lib/cups/filter/commandtoepson: found python: Objects/dictobject.c:603: PyDict_SetItem: Assertion `value' failed. Aborted"
> I tried deleting and re-adding the printer Did you provide a PPD, or select a make/model from the list? Please don't run random updater things -- I want to diagnose the problem before anything gets mucked about with! As for the s-c-printer crash, please file that as a separate bug report. FWIW I couldn't reproduce it.

I'm re-installing rawhide fairly regularly, so can always get a clean install to test with, just waned to quickly see if any of them helped.
I think this is because we were shipping the gimp-print-4.2.7 XML data in foomatic still.
Should be fixed in foomatic-3.0.2-46.fc7.
