Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot f16 with printer attached
2.look at /var/log/messages
3.
Actual Results:  
Printer does not work with f16. (It did with F14) (before colord?)

Expected Results:  
Printer should still work

I added more info about this bug to bug report 699052. Later I realized the entry DOES exist in /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat

I don't think any problem with colord could possibly stop the printer working, unless somehow CUPS is crashing. I'm also a bit confused about the line:

Jan 31 12:18:01 peters colord: io/hpmud/model.c 532: no DESKJET_720C attributes

As that doesn't match anything to what colord does... Unless the colord prefix is coming from cupsd somehow.

cc'ing Tim for comments.

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2012-01-31 17:09:16 UTC
I expect that's coming from the SANE probing that colord does.

I haven't had the opportunity to look at bug #699052 yet -- it may be that the models.dat entry is not in quite the right format, or something along those lines.

Comment 3 Peter Scott 2012-02-16 19:43:12 UTC
yum installed colord-0.1.15-2.fc16.x86_64 today but my printer is still not working.

When the (prallel port) printer is connected, colord emits the message, "colord: io/hpmud/model.c 532: no DESDESKJET_720C attributes
found in /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat" and lsof shows that colord has /dev/parport0 open twice.

When the printer is not connected, colord is quiet and lsof shows that /dev/partport0 is not open.

BTW: the DESDESKJET_720C is not supported by hplip so colord is doing the right thing by ignoring the printer. However it should close /dev/partport0 after uttering the message.

Presumably, Cups still supports the printer. It worked perfectly with Fedora14 and it still does with windoze.

It's not colord, but hpaio (part of hplip) via libsane.  Fixing component.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 20:27:22 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 23:50:53 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
