Description Mate Wierdl 2002-09-20 18:11:25 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:

Description of problem:
After updating my system, and trying to  start lpd, I get a message about an
error in /usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_backend.py.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
Configure a new printer (I selected PostScript)


2.
Type 

service lpd start

	

Actual Results:   service lpd 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  ]



Expected Results:  lpd starts

Additional info:

I can start lpd manually with 

# . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# daemon /usr/sbin/lpd

and seems to be working fine. So perhaps the error is in the
printconf_backend.py only.
Comment 1 Mate Wierdl 2002-09-20 18:37:16 UTC 
Commenting out the line

_=gettext.gettext

in /usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_backend.py seems to fix the problem
completely.

This has been fixed since redhat-config-printer-0.4.22-1, in rawhide.
