Created attachment 347453 [details] patch to catch more possible errors when calling this parse Description of problem: Clicking properties on the right click menu of my printer does nothing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Whatever came with fedora 11... How reproducible: Install a networked hp laserjet 9050 with "HP LaserJet 9050 Postscript (recommended)" driver via system-config-printer.py. Then I right clicked on the printer and clicked properties on the pop-up menu. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install networked hp laserjet 9050 with recommended driver 2. right click on new printer icon in front end 3. click properties in pop up menu Actual results: A traceback was generated but otherwise nothing happened. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 3118, in on_edit_activate self.dests_iconview_item_activated (self.dests_iconview, paths[0]) File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 975, in dests_iconview_item_activated self.fillPrinterTab (name) File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 2438, in fillPrinterTab self.updateMarkerLevels() File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 2514, in updateMarkerLevels inklevel = gtkinklevel.GtkInkLevel (color, level) File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/gtkinklevel.py", line 29, in __init__ self._color = gtk.gdk.color_parse (color) TypeError: color_parse() argument 1 must be string, not None Expected results: A new window with properties of my printer. Additional info: Attached is a patch that seems to fix this for me. There was already a try statement there, I just added to the except statement, seems to work for me with no error now.
Same problem occurred with HP Laserjet 4250.
Fixed upstream.
When will the fix appear in an update RPM?

While we're at it ... I noticed that system-config-printer hangs when printing a test (or self-test) page. I'm eventually told that it's not responding (actually, that '' is not responding) and asked if I want to kill the job. Oddly enough, "Properties" has started working. (BTW, should this be a separate bug report?)
