***NOTE! This is a bug in the "Null" beta distro - not in RH7.3. I couldn't select this option in Bugzilla. *** From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: I get the following error when lpd tries to start: Starting lpd: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/printconf-backend", line 7, in ? import printconf_backend File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_backend.py", line 30, in ? _=gettext.gettext NameError: name 'gettext' is not defined No Printers Defined [ OK ] During installation is seemed to successfully detect my Deskjet 940c, and once Linux was loaded I selected an appropriate driver, however I still experience the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpr restart Actual Results: Get error as described above. Expected Results: Shouldn't get error. Additional info:
Ok, I changed it to Null - I think that having a seperate "Redhat Linux" and "Redhat Public Beta" products is confusing, the Redhat Public Beta *is* Redhat Linux - most people are likely to just select Redhat Linux as the product, and then be surprised when they can't select "limbo" or "null" or whatever in the Version field.
This has been fixed since redhat-config-printer-0.4.22-1, in rawhide. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 72177 ***
