Description of problem: CUPS printers which show up in the output of "lpstat -a" and which work with lp and lpr commands, and which also show up in the print dialogs in Adobe Acrobat, Openoffice, and LibreOffice, don't show up in GTK print dialogs in apps such as firefox & seamonkey (mozilla builds but probably also RHEL builds), evince, and gimp. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): CentOS release 6.2 (Final) % rpm -qa | grep ^gtk gtk2-engines-2.18.4-5.el6.centos.i686 gtk2-devel-2.18.9-6.el6.centos.x86_64 gtkspell-2.0.16-1.el6.x86_64 gtksourceview2-2.8.2-4.el6.x86_64 gtkhtml3-3.28.3-3.el6.x86_64 gtk2-engines-devel-2.18.4-5.el6.centos.x86_64 gtk2-engines-2.18.4-5.el6.centos.x86_64 gtk2-2.18.9-6.el6.centos.i686 gtk2-immodule-xim-2.18.9-6.el6.centos.x86_64 gtk2-2.18.9-6.el6.centos.x86_64 gtkmm24-2.18.2-1.el6.x86_64 gtk-doc-1.11-5.1.el6.noarch gtk2-devel-docs-2.18.9-6.el6.centos.x86_64 gtk2-engines-devel-2.18.4-5.el6.centos.i686 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure you have some printers installed via the cups http://localhost:631 interface and that these show up via "lpstat -a". 2. Open up evince, go to the print dialog, no printers available Actual results: No printers shown Expected results: Show all printers also available through cups and in the output of "lpstat -a" Additional info: Works fine under centos 5.
Well, looks like we probably copied cupsd.conf from a centos5 system, and even though the printers showed up in lpstat and worked fine with the lp commands, they wouldn't show up in gtk apps. We copied the default cupsd.conf from a fresh centos6 install and the printers now show up without problems.
