LPRngTool package not on install cd's
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:31:11 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) I tried to install a printer using printtool in the kde control-panel. got error program not found. Please install the LPRngTool package. I searched the cd's 1,2 and powertools but cant find it checked MD5SUM's for CD's and they are OK Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Do a full install and try to configure a printer
OK... seems this version of redhat is using an other print filter/config program. do ln /usr/sbin/printconf-gui /usr/bin/lprngtool and you can at least start something from the KDE contol panel to configure a printer. (Gnome has no print config .....? ) but it is still incomplete the smbprint, jetdirectprint and ncpprint are missing from the /usr/lib/rhs/printconf directory. you can get them out of the source rpm printconf-0.0-15.src.rpm now i can print from shell but kde only sees some :lp= printer so cant print anything from there.. any hints how to solve/where to configure this ?
related words: printconf, LPRING, EOF, printtool related bugs: 25445, 25870, 26082, 26441, 26996. After browsing the above bug reports, I have succeeded in configuring and getting normal printing fundtions: 1) I verified that prctl, printconf, printconf-gui and ghostscript were installed. 2) Using SysV-Init Editor from the KDE Control Panel, I dragged lpd to Runlevel 3, No.11. 2) Reboot, then from a console I did: # /usr/sbin/printconf-gui. ...selected "new", and "created" lp0 "Edit" invoked the list of drivers, and designated my Epson Stylus to use stcolor. 3) In konqueror, changed /dev/lp0 to rw, rw, rw (default was rw,rw) I am now able to print text and graphics! Not the most elegant solution, but hey! *I* AM a newbie! ;-) Elton Woo ;-)
This is fixed (and was a 'kontrol-panel' bug)
