Package: kdeprint
Version: 4:3.1.3-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
I am not able anymore to add a printer from "kcmshell printmgr" using
the Add Printer Wizard:
- <Next>
- "Network printer (TCP)" or "Network printer w/IPP (IPP/HTTP)" (doesn't
seem to be important) then <Next>
- Enter printer address and <Next>
- FIRST ERROR: clicking on "Postscript printer" brings the error
"Unable to find the Postscript driver" (no error message on stdout).
- alternatively, select any Manufacturer and Model and <Next>
- select any driver (<Driver Information> works, though the information
dialog is too high for the screen, scrollbar would be nice).
- <Next>
- error dialog appears:
Unable to load the requested driver:
Unable to create the Foomatic driver
[HP-LaserJet_8000,Postscript]. Either that driver does not
exist, or you don't have the required permissions to perform
that operation.
I modified the script /usr/bin/foomatic-ppdfile (aka foomatic-datafile),
in order to let it output its command line, and get the following output
on stderr when starting the printmgr from a console:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "us",
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
-t cups -d Postscript -p HP-LaserJet_8000
Unknown option: t
Looking at the Foomatic manpages, it appears as well that the -t
parameter is unknown to this utility, probably the reason for the
failure. Fact is, I'm unable to add new printers using the Print Manager.
Versions of foomatic packages:
ii foomatic-bin 3.0.0-20040114-1 linuxprinting.org printer support -
transition package
ii foomatic-db 20040114-1 linuxprinting.org printer support -
database
ii foomatic-db-engine 3.0.0-20040114-1 linuxprinting.org printer support -
programs
ii foomatic-db-gimp-print 4.2.5-6 linuxprinting.org printer support -
database for Gimp-Print printe
ii foomatic-db-hpijs 1.5-20040114-2 linuxprinting.org printer support -
database for HPIJS printers
ii foomatic-filters 3.0.0-20040114-1 linuxprinting.org printer support -
filters
I'd be happy if you could fix this. I'd say the problem appeared
sometimes during January, not much before.
Thanks, Eric
