Description of problem: I plugged in a Xerox Phaser 3117 printer. Here's the detection process logged by syslog: Dec 18 09:58:45 localhost hal_lpadmin: Device ID: MFG:Xerox;MDL:Phaser 3117;DES:;CMD:GDI; URI:usb://Xerox/Phaser%203117 Dec 18 09:58:46 localhost hal_lpadmin: PPD: foomatic-db-ppds/Lanier/PS/Lanier-LP025_LP026_PS.ppd.gz; Status: 3 system-config-printer choosed Lanier-LP025 driver with a recognition status 3(NO_DRIVER). If the ppd for Samsung ML-6040 is used instead of this Lanier, the printer works perfectly. Here's the related openprinting.org entry: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Xerox-Phaser_3117 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-printer 0.7.78 hal-cups-utils 0.6.13 (svn86)
Changing component to rawhide. Um, it looks like you are not using our RPMs at all. What does this say?: rpm -q cups rpm -V cups Most likely you do not have a 'textonly.ppd' available, nor a 'postscript.ppd'. There really isn't anything sensible we can do in that case.
Actually, I'm integrating the automatic printer detection process that you developed into a Turkish Linux distribution called Pardus[0]. I'm gonna check if I'm missing those ppd's. Thanks for your reply. [0] : http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng
OK. Closing as this is not a Fedora bug (please ask future integration questions in private mail instead).
