From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: Cannot configure a remote printer. That is, - selecting Postscript given an immediate error message - cannot find a LaserJet 4m model listed - test printing fails with an error message - pressing "finish" gives an error message and asks me to submit this report. I have a text file in my home directory (it says it's bug 65831): [kevin@glynnis kevin]$ cat bug Submitted as bug 65831 Please visit http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/ ! File a bug against component redhat-config-network. Thank you!

refiling... (and that error message needs to be fixed, too)
By 'Control Center -> printer configuration', do you mean the printconf-gui program? If you run printconf-gui, do you see the same program as before?
Pasting in from private mail: "I misnamed the feature. Running KDE, it's arrived at by Control Center -> System -> Printing Manager Not, as I previously misstated Control Center -> printer configuration' It does not seem to be printconf-gui, because in reverting back to LPRng from tarball, I removed that RPM, but Printing Manager still exists."
Reassigning.
I am trying to set up a printer in the same way I did it on 7.2. calling printconf, printconf-gui, or redhat-config-printer brings up the same interface as in 7.2. I select: Name net Queue type hp1200n Driver Postscript Printer D.Options (page Size) A4, (Local) C This works fine. All data are recorded and available after reboot. Now, printing a test page fails with: There was an error trying to print the test page. Printing a file with lp or lpd fails with: Status Information: sending job 'root@localhost+840' to net@localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 cannot open connection to localhost - No such file or directory Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol My 7.2 workstation still works without problem. The only difference in printer related files I (some experience with SunOS and Solaris) can see is that 7.2:princap file has the sme data as printconf tool while null:printcap is empty. Copying the printcap file from 7.2 does not help. Printer hp1200n is connected to the network and ping from RedHat:null works fine.
voda@kalvarija.fe.uni-lj.si: you are seeing bug #72177, not this one.
please reopent it again if it still does showup in FC4. thanks
