Description Sammy 2001-06-26 13:36:17 UTC
Description of Problem:

No matter what I try kde applications are incorrectly parsing the printcap
file thus not being able to print. lpr printing works perfectly. I tried many
different variations of defining a printer, for example:

lp0: \
:sd=/var/log/lpd-lp0: \
:mx#0: \
:sh: \
:rm=129.59.116.60: \
:rp=raw: \
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

gives lp0::sd as the printer name,

lp0
:sd=/var/log/lpd-lp0:mx#0:sh:rm=129.59.116.60:rp=raw:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

gives lp0:sd as the printer name, I tried many other variations that all
work with lpr but in kde the next item after lp0 is taken as part of the
name. If one put |HP Postscript Printer| kind of comments after lp0 it
does skip these and still bind with the next definition.

Any suggestion would be appreciated....also at some point printing used
to work!

Please verify this with a newer version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or
Fedora Core and reopen it against the new version if it still occurs.

Closing as "CURRENTRELEASE" for now.
