Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: chris@ia.gov QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 SUSE/3.5.9-0.1.1 Firefox/3.5.9 When adding a printer via the Yast Printer Connection wizard and selecting TCP as the connection method, adding a printer fails even if the specified tcp port is open and reachable, if ICMP echo is not also allowed. ICMP echo should not be a requirement for adding a remote printer. A simple tcp ping on the specified port should be good enough, syn, syn/ack, ack. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add a printer from Yast. 2.Choose the connection Wizard 3.Choose TCP and fill in the blanks with the destination being a printer in a network that the client does not have ICMP echo open to. (remote printer is Firewalled, access listed, etc...) 4.Test the connection. Actual Results: Observed with TCP dump that the connection wizard was attempting ICMP echo to the printer ip address and then failing without ever attempting a tcp connection on the port specified. (Telnet from console on the tcp port to the printer works fine) Expected Results: Connection wizard should not rely on ICMP echo to check the availability of a device. A connection to the actual TCP port specified should instead be attempted.
