To test what about the PPDs is known to the cupsd use root@host# lpinfo -l -m Attach the output of this command as mime type text/plain to this bug. 2. Verify that Gnome does not use non-public CUPS API calls. There have been API changes from CUPS 1.1.x to 1.2 regarding non-public CUPS library functions. See http://www.cups.org for details Here from a mail from the CUPS main author: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Michael Sweet <mike@easysw.com> To: <cups-dev@easysw.com> Subject: Re: [cups.development] needs to provide backward compatibility API thenbump up soname?

After my investigation, I think r4683 and r4741 changes of CUPS 1.2 make libcups API incompatible with older libcups.

For example the change from cups_strlcpy to _cups_strlcpy breaks the combination of cupsd 1.1 and libcupsys 1.2.

We work very hard to not break binary compatibility with *public* APIs. Since those emulation functions are a) not public APIs and b) not available on all systems (i.e. they only show up if your platform doesn't provide the named functions), they aren't considered for the library version number. Non-CUPS programs using these functions should expect to fail at random times depending on the version of CUPS that is installed...

Although such mixture is rare case, I think it's better to bump up the soname version if you remove an exported function or change its argument against the libraries.

Doing so will cause unnecessary breakage of all existing applications. The CUPS CMP (now called the CUPS Developer Guide) has always documented the rules for naming of public APIs, and we have NEVER documented private APIs to avoid their use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- 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.

If gnome-*-printer-* has problems after the switch from cups-1.1.x to cups-1.2.x then the tools need to be adapted by the gnome maintainers, not by me. I don't think, it's my job to work on those tools either. If you have _specific_ questions, e.g. if/how arguments in a cups-lib function is changed, feel free to ask. But don't expect that I work now on the gnome-printer tools. I'm overwhelmed with other work. --> reassign back to gnome-bnc-team BTW: we switched to cups-1.2.1 in June (in alpha2 phase), with several announcements on the mailing lists, e.g. to check your code. I wonder why gnome stumbles now in late beta phase over this? -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=213927 ------- Comment #15 from kssingvo@novell.com 2006-11-16 03:01 MST ------- I think the problem is, that we don't include any PPDs encoded in "utf-8" in our system so far. You might either look through the PPDs themself (/usr/share/cups/model/) or use, as Johannes already suggest, "lpinfo -l -m" to see that this is true. If you don't send this charset restriction to the server, you might get more avail PPDs returning. I doubt that this is an error in the cups library. I think its working as intended. If you disagree or notice that my hint doesn't help (I didn't check it), please tell me, and I will dig deeper into the library.

I then uncommented it back again and tried using "us-ascii" instead of "utf-8", but got the same results as with "utf-8" then I tried changing the charset param of: ippAddStrings(request, IPP_TAG_PRINTER, IPP_TAG_KEYWORD | IPP_TAG_COPY, "requested-attributes", 3, NULL, attrs); to "utf-8" and "us-ascii" and still no changes I have no idea how to proceed. I've run out of ideas... maybe the drivers just don't have the attributes I'm requesting? If that's the case, then I think they need to be fixed to have that info because without it, we can't provide the user anything useful in the UI. -- 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.
