Even if it doesn't matter for this particular printer, it is a major problem if this would happen for other printer models too. I increase severity to major because at the moment it seems YaST might find and select really wrong PPDs for a given model which would result non-working print queues. In attachment #101104 there is: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Printerdb.ycp:615 Sorted PPD files for HP:DESKJET6840: ["/usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/HP-DeskJet_6800-hpijs.ppd.gz", "/usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/HP-DeskJet_6840-hpijs.ppd.gz"] .. Printerdb.ycp:666 Selected file: /usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/HP-DeskJet_6800-hpijs.ppd.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I do not understand why YaST selects HP-DeskJet_6800-hpijs.ppd.gz which has the ModelName entry "HP DeskJet 6800" when the user has manually chosen the model "HP:DESKJET6840" which should match perfectly to HP-DeskJet_6840-hpijs.ppd.gz which has the ModelName entry "HP DeskJet 6840". I also do not understand why YaST finds HP-DeskJet_6800-hpijs.ppd.gz as a matching PPD for the model "DESKJET6840" at all because the ModelName entry in this PPD should not match at all. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
