Description Jon Burgess 2012-04-21 18:56:42 UTC
Description of problem:

I plugged in a USB printer to a clean install of F17 beta. A message popped up from the printer applet saying 'Configuring new printer'. After a little while I tried printing something in Firefox and no printers were listed, similarly no printers are shown in the printer configuration 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora-17-Beta-i686-Live-KDE.iso, installed to HD & yum update
cups-1.5.2-12.fc17.i686
system-config-printer-kde-4.8.2-1.fc17.i686


How reproducible:

Have not tried

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plugged in HP CP2025DN printer via USB
2. Tried to print in Firefox
3. Opened printed config in system settings
  
Actual results:
Message saying printer was being installed but does not show up afterwards

Expected results:
Printer available in firefox etc

Comment 1 Jon Burgess 2012-04-21 19:20:21 UTC
Originally I didn't have hplip installed. Once I installed this and plugged the printer in again then it worked OK (with the popup message '... is ready for printing').

Comment 2 Jiri Popelka 2012-04-23 10:29:58 UTC
Please attach an output from the following command when the printer is on:
su -c "lpinfo -l -v"

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 03:43:40 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'.

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 17'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 17 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  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

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.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-08-01 11:41:14 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 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.
