Description Gerald Teschl 2001-08-08 16:05:56 UTC
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.

Comment 1 Glen Foster 2001-08-08 19:07:32 UTC
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax.

Comment 2 Crutcher Dunnavant 2001-08-08 19:32:46 UTC
does the same problem happen in printconf-tui? Can you attach the output of:

 zcat /etc/alchemist/namespace/printconf/local.adl

to this bug.

Comment 3 Gerald Teschl 2001-08-09 08:45:54 UTC
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 ...

Comment 5 Crutcher Dunnavant 2001-08-09 20:31:42 UTC
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.

Comment 6 Crutcher Dunnavant 2001-08-10 03:21:20 UTC
btw, the traceback there is a dependancy on a newer version of newt.

Comment 7 Crutcher Dunnavant 2001-08-10 23:05:41 UTC
okay, fixed the rest of this.

Comment 8 Gerald Teschl 2001-08-21 16:44:55 UTC
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.


Comment 9 Crutcher Dunnavant 2001-08-21 19:05:16 UTC
I'm forcing a dirty state now.
