Description of problem: When printing to a locally-connected USB printer using the usb backend, with the paper removed, there is no notification that there is no paper. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-settings-daemon-2.91.93-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Configure a printer. 2.Remove the paper and print a job (lengthy enough that it will not fit into the printer's memory buffer) Actual results: No notification that there is no paper. Expected results: A notification about refilling the paper tray. Additional info: CUPS has set the printer-state-reasons attribute correctly: $ python Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Feb 9 2011, 17:56:14) [GCC 4.6.0 20110205 (Red Hat 4.6.0-0.6)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import cups >>> c=cups.Connection() >>> printers=c.getPrinters() >>> printers[printers.keys()[0]]['printer-state-reasons'] [u'media-empty-warning'] >>>
Same behaviour under KDE.
Sandro: KDE does not use gnome-settings-daemon, so you will need to file a separate bug report against the appropriate KDE package (if not sure, just guess one and the maintainer will be able to direct it appropriately).
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '15' 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 15 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. 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This seems to be fixed in Fedora 17, at least in gnome-system-settings. (We're no longer getting media-empty-warning from the usb backend though...)
