https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=375672 Summary: cups remote printer added via yast2 printer isn't available as printer queue Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: jsmeix@novell.com ReportedBy: teheo@novell.com QAContact: jsmeix@novell.com Found By: --- My laptop connects in client-only mode to my desktop which exports its printer via CUPS. When configuring the queue on laptop, "Test Remote IPP Access" works and "Use Server's Default Queue" is checked. There's no error message but the printer queue never becomes available. lpq says lpq: error - no default destination available. and cups manager doesn't show any new printer. The interesting thing is that this configuration used to work a few days ago. I think what broke it was connecting a different usb printer directly to the laptop. It somehow messed up the configuration and yast printer somehow reverted to the previous configuration which was using samba. After several deletion / addition cycles, yast printer now seems to be in sync with the actual configuration and I can add SMB printer fine but CUPS remote printing just doesn't work. cups-autoconfig.log shows that the local USB printer was automatically configured so it definitely did something. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You mentioned "YaST", "client-only", "configuring the queue", "cups manager", "connecting a different usb printer", "using samba", "add SMB printer", and "cups-autoconfig" which is almost anything which is possible regarding printer setup but without information how I can reproduce it. For me it seems it is not a bug in our software (therefore I close it as WORKSFORME) but that you set up a mixed-up (i.e. wrong) configuration. Perhaps it is sufficient to remove the "client-only" "SererName" entry in /etc/cups/client.conf If this does not help, see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_-_Reinstalling_the_Printing_System how you could go back to the installation defaults. Since openSUSE 10.3 we have the new RPM "cups-autoconfig" which contains a utility for auto-configuring USB printers which is triggered by udev/HAL device events. On the one hand this tool is limited to USB printers, on the other hand it works independent of YaST e.g. even after the installation: E.g. when the USB printer was disconnected or switched off during installation, cups-autoconfig could automatiocally configure it once it is connected or switched on at any time later. Note that this tool neither comes from the CUPS authors nor is the RPM a sub-package of the cups RPM. By default cups-autoconfig disables/enables print queues when udev/HAL events appear that a USB printer is disconnected/connected. Its /etc/cups-autoconfig.conf contains by default: -------------------------------------------------------------- [CUPS] ConfigureNewPrinters=yes DisablePrintersOnRemoval=yes DefaultCUPSPolicy=relaxed Debug=yes -------------------------------------------------------------- It is triggered via /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-cups-autoconfig.fdi which runs /usr/lib/cups-autoconfig/cups-autoconfig which does the actual stuff, see /usr/lib/cups-autoconfig/cups-autoconfig --help (you must run even '--help' as root, otherwise you get errors) Debugging output is in /var/log/cups-autoconfig.log If you don't like what cups-autoconfig does (i.e. if you prefer that you control the print queues and not whatever automatism), uninstall the cups-autoconfig package and reboot (or restart HAL) to make HAL aware of its changed config files, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218393#c28 Also have a look at bug #334166.

You mentioned "YaST", "client-only", "configuring the queue", "cups manager", "connecting a different usb printer", "using samba", "add SMB printer", and "cups-autoconfig" which is almost anything which is possible regarding printer setup but without information how I can reproduce it. For me it seems it is not a bug in our software (therefore I close it as WORKSFORME) but that you set up a mixed-up (i.e. wrong) configuration.

Sorry I wasn't clear about it but I myself was quite confused with what went down so I couldn't really describe it. What went down is... 1. I first had network printer configured via SMB which worked fine 2. Then, I switched the connection to client-only cups, which worked fine too. 3. I needed to use a scanner so plugged in a multifunction device which also includes a printer to the USB port. Scanner worked fine. I didn't do anything about the printer. After done using it, I disconnected it. 4. After a while, I tried to print but there was no printer queue configured. I went to yast printer configuration which was showing the queue configured in #2 alright. I removed the cups printer which, after restarting yast printer, showed SMB printer from #1 and USB printer from #3. I deleted them and added back cups client only configuration but still no queue. I repeated several times but it was the same. So, basically, cups client only configuration was broken by plugging in a USB printer. Sounds like a bug to me.
