Description Peter Fuchs 2010-04-23 07:00:25 UTC
Description of problem:
After receiving some update packages from the fedora repository some weeks ago (sorry, do not know the exact point of time and what packages were updated) it was first not possible anymore to print.
After trying to reconfigure the printer using hp-setup, even this fails with the error message "

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Currently installed:
hplip-3.10.2-4.fc12.x86_64
cups-1.4.2-28.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to current F12 packages (x86_64)
2. Run hp-setup, click through all screens and hit "Add Printer" button
3.
  
Actual results:
Ouput from hp-setup:
---< snip >---
HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.10.2)
Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 9.0

Done.

I have to set up the print queue the "standard" way using 'system-config-printer'. However, this does not set up my scanner and fax.
This bug/incompatibility is really annoying as the printer/scanner/fax usage with F12 was smoother than even with Window$. Everything was set up and configured perfectly for my needs.

Expected results:
Should work as before bug occured. hp-setup should run without problems and set up all queues/configurations as expected.

Additional info:
- Tested on two systems, both installed (not updated) with Fedora 12 x86_64
  -> Dell Latitude E6500
  -> Standard PC
- Printer is a HP OfficeJet Pro L7680 which is accessed via LAN

Can you can use "yum history list" and "yum history info $ID" to find out?  I very much expect it was the first update to hplip-3.10.2 that caused printing to stop.  This (being able to print to hpcups queues) should already be fixed in hplip-3.10.2-4.fc12.

It is meant to be able to set up fax queues for HPLIP, so something's wrong there.

Yes.  For the hp-setup crash, please follow bug #584492.

I'm going to treat *this* bug report as: system-config-printer does not set up fax queues.

I need some more information from you:

1. Please follow these instructions for gathering debugging information about your system, and attach the troubleshoot.txt that you get:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Printing/Debugging#Printing_troubleshooter

2. Please show me the output of this command:
hp-makeuri -f 192.158.13.101

reg. 1.: What information exactly do you need?

Comment 5 Peter Fuchs 2010-04-23 14:54:47 UTC
As I am not very experienced with printer setup I am not sure what you are aiming for.
In my opinion the primary goal - from my end user point of view - should be to have 'hp-setup' running again as it did before as this was the easiest and most comfortable way of printing/faxing/scanning.

That's great for users with HP printers.  The system-config-printer utility has a wider-reaching goal, of working for all users.

As I mentioned, I know that hp-setup is not working correctly at the moment, and this is being tracked in a separate bug report.

*This* bug report, however, is following up on your comment that system-config-printer does not create fax queues.  It is intended to create fax queues, so if that is not working for you I'd like to understand why that is.

I would very much appreciate seeing the output.txt generated by this command as you create a new queue for your network printer:

system-config-printer --debug &>output.txt

Comment 11 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 16:31:17 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 12 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 21:14:45 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.
