Description of Problem: Define a remote unix lpd printer. After deleting this printer, I tried to (re)define a printer with the name "lp" -- would not "finish" and text message in the terminal window said that "lp" alread exists. Restarted printconf-gui and noticed a "strange" entry labeled "lp" but with Queue Type "INVALID" and Details "Invalid Printer Record". More attempts to define a printer produced some additional "Invalid Printer Record" entries. These records cannot be selected/deleted. /etc/printcap shows nothing and /var/spool/lpd has nothing. How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Define "lp" 2. Delete "lp" 3. "define "lp" Actual Results: garbage Expected Results: valid entry Additional Information:
OK, this is not happening with printconf-0.3.6 from rawhide for NEW definitions but I do I get rrid of the existing phantoms whithout blowing away this system.
OK, the nature of this bug has changes. I discovered printconf-tui and it does see and can delete the phantom (INVALID Queue type records). The problem is that the gui interface cannot.
can you do the following for me? printconf-tui --Xexport > printer-settings.xml and then attach printer-settings.xml to this bug? Thanks.
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax
Created attachment 25893 [details] printconf-0.3.0-5 with two "phantom" entries1
After creating the attachment, I was able to back with printconf-tui and delete a bad entry but printconf-gui does not let me do this.
hoho. Well, I apparently didnt want people to try to edit invalid printer entries, so I /explicitly/ made them unselectable. Which of course means you can not delete them. fixed. Thanks for spotting this one.
btw, to fix your existing system, use the following attachement, and do: printconf-tui --Ximport < settings.xml
