printtool crashes on uniprint drivers
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:48:13 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.79 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i686) Description of problem: When configuring printers that use the uniprint (ghostscript) driver settings, printtool crashes. This is on an old (but mostly updated) RedHat 6.2 installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install updated printtool rpm (printtool-3.44-2) 2. Install updated ghostscript rpm (ghostscript-6.51-16.1.6x.1) 3. configure an epson stylus color printer and hit OK Actual Results: No color depth/uniprint mode selection present when configuring. Clicking on OK results in a dialog box from Tcl/Tk. Additional info: The problem is due to the new location of printer 'upp' files in the ghostscript_6.51 package. Changing the path of upp files on line 1429 of /usr/bin/printtool from /usr/share/ghostscript/*/$fname to /usr/share/ghostscript/*/lib/$fname seems to resolve the problem.
The suggested work-around sounds like the right fix. Thanks.
