+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #139266 +++ From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: For the first time with FC3, I plugged in my printer by USB. After about half a minute the Specify Printer Driver window popped up (confusingly long delay). I selected the driver, and pressed OK. top(1) showed some foomatic process running for a while, after which nothing happened. This may be how it is intended to work, but a user would assume _something_ visible to happen after clicking OK in the Specify Printer Driver window. Probably have it show the system-config-printer app. If not, the Specify Printer Dialog should tell so, and tell why the it asked about the driver in the first place. So I ran system-config-printer, where there was a presumably new entry stylus-photo-790-1. I selected Edit from context menu of that entry, and got on stdout: No match for USB device: mfr "EPSON" model "Stylus Photo 790" desc "EPSON Stylus Photo 790" cmdset "ESCPL2,BDC,D4" Please report this message in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla Choose 'foomatic' as the component. Otherwise, printing works fine however. Except CUPS test page entry should mention it's Letter format.
