Bug ID: 498149
Summary: Lack of automatic encoding of printer SMB URI causes
failure of adding a new printer
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: print-manager
Version: 22.12.3
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dantt...@gmail.com
Reporter: patrikgrguri...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I'm trying to add my company's printer, which is available through SMB at this
URI:
smb://name.surn...@firm.com@share/Xerox VersaLink B7030 ITIS
Which gets encoded to:
smb://name.surname%40firm.com@share/Xerox VersaLink B7030 ITIS
This causes an error when adding the printer:
1028 "Bad device-uri \"smb://name.surname%40firm.com@share/Xerox VersaLink
B7030 ITIS\"."
Troubleshooting with ChatGPT, I got to this URI:
smb://name.surname%2540firm.com@share/Xerox%20VersaLink%20B7030%20ITIS
It works, so I'm guessing the encoding done by this utility/CUPS is
insufficient?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to add a new printer that has spaces in its name with SMB
OBSERVED RESULT
The process silently fails at the "Finish" step with the aforementioned log
line seen in the journal.
EXPECTED RESULT
The printer is successfully added.
