Description Lynn Kerby 2002-11-07 23:39:24 UTC
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.

current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable.
