Suggestion - Make CUPS the default printing system (found note in release notes about this ;) and make the Cups Printer Configuration applet (cupsconfig) more obvious. I had my printer running in 2 minutes after discovering cupsconfig. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: After properly setting up printer per tfox's Printer Config help, the RH Printer Config simply reports 'There was an error printing test page'. /etc/printcap remains empty, and a manual restart of lpd reports: 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 ] Settings are persistent between application restarts, but it doesn't report where the error occurred. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): printconf-gui 0.4.21 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up LOCAL printer on lp0 2. Apply changes 3. Attempt to print test page Actual Results: "There was an error trying to print the test page". Expected Results: Some sort of debugging info in /var/log, or dialog. Additional info: Lexmark Z51 on /dev/lp0 using LPD (selected using redhat-switch-printer). Printer was not autodetected during setup, but I selected the lx5000 driver. /dev/lp0 was detected, but doesn't autodetect model during setup.
