Happens here as well. get the error when i click Apply
If using a regular GTK application, i press print, everything seems to work, and I get a blank page out of the printer (regardless of # pages sent in the job) When opening the printer options, (open printer settings in gnome, right click printer, properties) i get a dialog: "Error: Option 'printer-resolution' has value '(unknown IPP tag)' and cannot be edited. [OK]" here are the logs, after being forced to rotate, then printer added and properties panel opened. root@hobo:/var/log/cups# cat error_log W [07/Apr/2012:18:27:39 -0700] failed to CreateProfile: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id 'printer-Gray..' already exists W [07/Apr/2012:18:27:39 -0700] failed to CreateDevice: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:device id 'cups-printer' already exists W [07/Apr/2012:18:27:40 -0700] failed to CreateProfile: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id 'printer-Gray..' already exists W [07/Apr/2012:18:27:40 -0700] failed to CreateDevice: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:device id 'cups-printer' already exists W [07/Apr/2012:18:27:40 -0700] failed to CreateProfile: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id 'printer-Gray..' already exists W [07/Apr/2012:18:27:40 -0700] failed to CreateDevice: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:device id 'cups-printer' already exists root@hobo:/var/log/cups# cat access_log localhost -
