Description David W. Legg 2007-07-02 09:12:52 UTC
Description of problem:
A yum update last week-end (Saturday 30/6/2007) installed some new 5.0.0.1
gutenprint RPMs which do not work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.0.0.1

How reproducible:
Every time. Errors in /var/log/cups/error_log

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot system with latest updated FC6 as of 30/6/2007.
2. Attempt to print using gutenprint drivers to say Epson C42 printer.

  
Actual results:
1. Nothing prints.
2. Cups disables queue.
3. Errors in /var/log/cups/error_log complain that the version of PPD files does
not match gutenprint/cups release, i.e. 5.0.0.1.

Expected results:
Something should have printed.

Additional info:
Going back to the previous set of gutenprint extras RPMs (5.0.0.0) fixes the
problem temporarily.

Please try 5.0.1-2.fc6 (yum update 'gutenprint*').  Does that fix the problem
for you?  Make sure you include gutenprint-foomatic in the update: it's needed
to update the PPD files.

Looks good. Will try it on the original machine and let you know.

Confirmed fixed on FC6 fully udpated.
