Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 51224
printers from 7.1 don't work
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:35:37 EDT
I have a local hp lj 1100 set up under redhat 7.1. If I open printtool it will show up us such, but if I click on edit it is listed as "unix lpd" and all driver options (paper options ...) are reset to the default values.
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax.
does the same problem happen in printconf-tui? Can you attach the output of: zcat /etc/alchemist/namespace/printconf/local.adl to this bug.
No it doesn't seem to happen with tui, but its hard to say since it crashes at various points. E.g. Edit ->Driver: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@tomcat gerald]# printconf-tui Initializing alchemist edit environment ... Initializing linux printing database ... Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/sbin/printconf-tui", line 7, in ? import printconf_tui File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_tui.py", line 2057, in ? if main.cmd_handlers.has_key(cmd): File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_tui.py", line 1953, in tui_main_run qlf_run() File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_tui.py", line 1850, in qlf_run elif qed_run(queue_dict): File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_tui.py", line 829, in qed_run qed_ded_run() File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_tui.py", line 1462, in qed_ded_run driver_tree = driver_tree_checkboxtree(height = height - 3, width = width) File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_tui.py", line 758, in driver_tree_checkboxtree driver_tree = CheckboxTree(height = height, width = width, scroll = 1, hide_checkbox = 1, unselectable = 1) TypeError: unexpected keyword argument: unselectable

this is a result of us running into the new foomatic option indexing. I need a better resolution that this, but it depends upon Grant Taylor blessing a One True Way. I will find an answer to this.
btw, the traceback there is a dependancy on a newer version of newt.
okay, fixed the rest of this.
Doesn't seem entirely fixed here. If I boot the system with the old configuration it will tell me "no printers definedn" and /etc/printcap is empty. If I open printtol and press "apply", the printers will show up in /etc/printcap.
I'm forcing a dirty state now.
