Description Mattia Verga 2010-10-27 14:38:29 EDT

Description of problem:
I didn't find exactly what is the component responsible for auto configuration of printers when they are plugged in, so sorry if I opened in the wrong place.
I just plugged in my Canon Pixma ip4200 and in the tray a notification has appeared saying "configuring new printer" (I'm using KDE). But besides of the notification nothing happens: no new printers are configured in system-config-printer, neither looking directly in cups.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-printer.x86_64            1.2.5-3.fc14
cups.x86_64                       1:1.4.4-10.fc14
kdebase.x86_64                         6:4.5.2-2.fc14
gutenprint.x86_64                  5.2.6-1.fc14



How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Plug in a new printer
2.Verify in system-config-printer or in cups that no printers are configured

  
Expected results:
The printer should be auto configured by system

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2010-10-28 05:42:59 EDT

Please edit /etc/rsyslog.conf and change the line ending "/var/log/messages" to this:

*.debug;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none                -/var/log/messages

Then restart rsyslog (/sbin/service rsyslog restart), and try connecting the printer again.  What messages end up in /var/log/messages then?

Created attachment 456290 [details]
Output of /var/log/messages in debug mode

I attach the file with related output of /var/log/messages.
From the lines, I think maybe is a packagekit bug?

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2010-10-29 08:49:42 EDT

For some reason the Python D-Bus proxy is not converting 0 into a dbus.UInt32 type.  Here is a fix that explicitly converts to that type.

Needs to be applied to kdeutils.

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2010-10-29 08:50:52 EDT

Strangely, it all works fine under GNOME with system-config-printer-applet and gnome-packagekit.

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2010-10-29 08:53:46 EDT

FWIW, system-config-printer-1.2.6 will export the installdrivers module as part of cupshelpers (i.e. cupshelpers.installdrivers), so the KDE printer-applet will be able to re-use that.

Comment 7 Mattia Verga 2011-02-01 14:21:54 EST

Tried with
kdebase.x86_64                         6:4.5.5-1.fc14
system-config-printer.x86_64                1.2.5-8.fc14

and it works, I close the bug. Thank you!
