Description of problem:
There's a problem with the latest version of printconf.
After having installed all the latest updates, the printconf tool doesn't create
printing queues nor /etc/printcap file.
The only thing that works is creating a RAW queue.
It really is a printconf problem since editing /etc/printcap by hand or
configuring a printer with printtool works.
Here's a listing of some rpms installed on my system:
kernel-2.4.9-31
LPRng-3.7.4-28
printconf-0.3.61-3
printconf-gui0.3.61-3
ghostscript-6.51-16
Omni-0.5.0-4
Omni-foomatic-0.5.0-4
foomatic-1.1-0.20011218.3




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade all packages with up2date or any other tool
2. Launch printconf (gui or tui)
3. Create a new entry with any driver
	

Actual Results:  No error message, the entry is not created in /var/spool/pld
and the /etc/printcap is not updated (and sometimes it even delete all the other
printers)


Expected Results:  New printer queue created

Do you have mpage installed, and if not does installing it fix the problem?
Comment 2 Need Real Name 2002-03-04 19:48:32 UTC 
With mpage installed, it does work !
I think it should be added to the printconf rpm depency.
Thank you, at last my problem's solve...
