Description Peter Huebschen 2001-05-30 05:05:42 EDT 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [de] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686)

Description of problem:
printconf-gui denies to create jetdirect printerqueue and it gives an error
message (see below). If I reopen printconf-gui it crashes with the same
error and I can't print.


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a fresh installation of alchemist, printconf, printconf-gui from
RH7.1 CD
2. Start printconf-gui via a shell
3. Create an jetdirect-printer as normal => First error message
4. Save changes and close printconf-gui
5. Start printconf-gui again and it crashes again =>Second error message
	

Actual Results:  I get the following error message:
File "/usr/sbin/printconf-gui", line 567, in gizmo_queue_description
    details = _("%s JetDirect queue %s:%s") % (
ValueError: unsupported format character 'S' (0x53)


Expected Results:  There should be created a jetdirect printerqueue.

Additional info:

If I change at line 567: _("%s JetDirect queue %s:%s") to _("%s JetDirect
queue %s on %s") everything works fine. It seems that ":" creates this
error.
It's the rpm that shipped with RH 7.1.
Comment 1 Giuseppe Raimondi 2001-10-10 09:29:11 EDT 
I just had a customer with an up2dated 7.1 and he had the same symptoms.

workaround as above seemed to help.

printconf-0.2.12-1

printconf-gui-0.2.12-1

pygtk-0.6.6-7

pygnome-1.0.53-7

pygnome-libglade-0.6.6-7

pygtk-libglade-0.6.6-7

perl-5.6.0-12

I'll attach a strace from the customer for more info

Is this bug still current?  The 7.2 package doesn't seem to have the same line 
anywhere.

Comment 5 Peter Huebschen 2002-01-24 04:16:07 EST 
With RH7.2 I did not get this error message, but with a clean RH7.2 I couldn't
print either. First I had to install the available printing related updates due
to errors in the Laserjet 4 printer driver.

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2002-01-24 06:15:00 EST 
But with those updates the problem is fixed?
Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2002-07-08 09:24:52 EDT 
This was a translation problem.
