I've used the printer, with the exact same set of drivers since the printer was released nearly two years ago (tested the linux drivers for brother). I've always set it up the same way - install the proprietary drivers, pull up yast2-printer, hit Edit or Configure to make sure the correct device location is applied, then Finish. The only thing that has changed is yast2-printer, therefore the issue has to be there. Also, even without installing the proprietary drivers, the same thing happens with the connection wizard. Oh, when I say I manually added the location of the printer, I mean I typed in usb://Brother/MFC-240C in the Location field in yast2-printer dialog. See screenshot above. I changed the title slightly to be a bit more specific. -- 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.

When whatever part of a proprietary driver segfaults, then it is invalid for us. It is meaningless when whatever proprietary driver had worked before. If the driver was made correctly it would still work. When it fails now, it is for 99.9% a bug in the driver which just didn't happen by luck before. -- 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.

When I hooked up the printer to get the logs, I hit Add, selected the printer from the list and chose Connection Wizard. In the connection wizard, I selected USB port and hit Test Connection, Other and OK in that order. Neither did anything, so I hit Back to return to the previous screen, then selected OK. Despite the wizard doing nothing obvious and acting the same way it did when I first filed the report, when I re-added the printer and printed a test page this time around, the printer worked fine. It may have to do with a setting modified by system-config-printer when it first got the printer working. Dunno, but I'll have to look into it when I do a clean install of RC1. -- 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.

This is already fixed in my sources. In yast2-printer 2.17.46 there are more drivers shown than match correctly to the manufacturer which you selected in the connection wizard because it does not search the manufacturer name ony at the beginning of the driver descriptions (e.g. use "IBM" as manufacturer and you get a few "Oki" drivers as well). This is also already fixed in my sources. -- 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.
