From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.74 [en] (WinNT; U) Description of problem: After installing RH7.1 I tried to use the print tool to create a print (and also I assume a /etc/printcap) it does not create any such file. I would then assume that I restart (or start) the lpd deamon, but of course since there is not a print cap the lpd will not start. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RH7.1 2.Install a printer 3.Notice there is nothing in the /etc/printcap Actual Results: No printers useable under linux Expected Results: Printers to work (as it did in RH7.0 / RH6.2) Additional info:
Although the kernel correctly reports an attached local printer on bootup, no entry is made in the /etc/printcap file so the printer cannot be used. The printer configuration tool available in RH6.2 under the `control-panel' has been removed, and adding the printcap entry from RH6.2 does not work even though ldp is running.
Are you using 'printconf-gui' to add this printer? Are you clicking the 'apply' button after you add the printer?
