From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U) After setting up a local USB printer using printtool, attempting to start LPR generates a segfault. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.attach an USB Printer to the system 2.configure the printer using printtool 3.start LPR Actual Results: segfault Expected Results: LPR should load, and printer should be usable.
This was found on W460GXBS2 workstation system, BIOS 99
This is fixed in the current LPRng package (3.7.4-21).
Issue resurfaced with LPR version LPRng 3.7.4-22 When I tell the printtool to reset the LPR (Via the pulldown menu), It reports that the lpr deamon was reset correctly. If I then try to run the tests, I get a failure. I went to a text console and tried to '/etc/init.d/lpr stop ; /etc/init.d/lpr start' manualy. Lpr, the first time I tried this, Segfaulted my machine. Now, it complains on not having a config for my printer. The printer I have is an Epson Stylus Color 740, USB connection. If I run a '/usr/games/fortune > /dev/usb/lp0', It prints out a fortune for me.
This was last tested on the Wolverine build. (which is where the LPRng 3.7.4-22 came from.
Crutcher, I want you to look into this today.
fixed
cannot reproduce crashes with LPRng-3.7.4-22, but found nasty problems in printconf's magicfilter copy. The relevant fixes are in printconf-0.2.15
