Description Tim Waugh 2008-10-24 16:20:12 UTC 
Plugging in a printer fails to add a new queue.  Worked in 0.6.17-2.fc10.
Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2008-10-24 16:28:14 UTC 
Should be fixed in 0.6.17-4.fc10.
Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2008-10-24 16:34:43 UTC 
Fix confirmed.
Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2008-10-27 13:18:40 UTC 
Re-opening: testing with a different make of printer causes the same problem again.

The reason is that the pyusb-using code fails, and if that happens the entire operation is aborted.
Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2008-10-27 13:56:34 UTC 
Ah, a more serious reason is that hal is no longer giving us 'printer' devices...
Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2008-10-28 08:24:10 UTC 
Removing F10Blocker for this bug, as the hal bug (bug #468692) was the blocker.
Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2008-10-28 11:29:42 UTC 
Fix committed upstream; awaiting verification.
Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2008-11-03 10:13:28 UTC 
Verified.

Should add pyusb as a requirement when rebuilding package.
Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 04:11:56 UTC
