3.11.12-2 works fine
And with what version do you see the crashes ?
hplip-3.12.2-3.fc16
That's weird. That version is effectively just a rebuild with no code changes. Can you run 'info locals' in gdb at the point where you get the backtrace? It would also be useful to see the full gdb output -- for example, what signal was received?
Same crash here, Fedora 17. Debug info is missing for the affected package, no locals, sorry.

Created attachment 593318 [details] Quick patch that revert broken changes I reverted some obscure changes to it's state as found in 3.11 and now it works.
(In reply to comment #5) > Debug info is missing for the affected package, no locals, sorry. Can you install it with: yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install hplip-debuginfo and try to get the backtrace again ?
I've searched simple-scan BZs and found bug #801145 where's a good backtrace. bug #801145, comment #4 states that "Reinstalling hplip's plugin with hp-setup helped."
Any reason to ignore the proposed patch ? As been working fine for me for a long time now.
Although we really appreciate a patch along with a bug report, we need a patch that fixes the problem where it is so we can try to push it upstream (HP). In this case the patch is a work-around and most likely will be refused by upstream. And to create proper patch we need sufficient debuginfo first. Have you already tried to update the hp-plugin ?
You need to understand this is a patch being revert, not a workaround. Telling upstream they have a patch to blame would most likely be a good step forward. But meanwhile, improving usability for your users would also be great.
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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
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.
