Description of problem: Can't add a file to the hp-sendfax interface. It opens up a dialog that says "Processing fax file..." and hangs forever. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hplip-2.7.7-6.fc8.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Additional info: This is the same bug reported on the hplip forums. The attached patch was extracted from this report, and fixes the problem on my system: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/153152
Created attachment 290483 [details] Patch to set correct fax temp directory
Using this patch results in a few selinux avc denials that can be fixed by adding these policy rules: files_manage_generic_tmp_dirs(hplip_t) files_manage_generic_tmp_files(hplip_t)
I am experiencing this bug also and would be happy to assist with any testing if/as required - let me know what needs to be done...
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This problem is also affecting RHEL 5.2 (hplip-1.6.7-4.1.el5_2.4). Can the product be changed to that instead, so the bug can remain open?
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Well, if HPLIP is eliminated from the problem, it must be foo2zjs.
Comment #7 was intended for another bug -- please ignore.
RHEL bug #475181 (though the underlying cause seems to be different).
I've tried this now on Fedora 10 (hplip-2.8.12-6.fc10.x86_64) and the fax sending is still broken in the same way. Can this bug be reopened/updated accordingly?
