Description of problem: When a fax printer is disconnected or switched off, hal-cups-utils disabled the queue. The queue does not get re-enabled when the printer is re-connected or switched on. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-cups-utils-0.6.13-1.fc8 selinux-policy-3.0.8-32.fc8 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Remove all print queues. 2.Switch on connected USB HP fax printer. 3.Switch off printer or disconnect it. 4.lpstat -t -- note that it is now disabled 5.Switch on printer. 6.lpstat -t Actual results: Printer still disabled. Expected results: Printer re-enabled.
This was worked around for Fedora 8 by just never disabling queues. Let's see if Fedora 9 suffers the same problem with hal-cups-utils-0.6.14.
Seems to work fine with 0.6.14-1.fc9.
