Log of complete failure cycle
Attached tail -f from /var/log/YaST2 during a cycle of: 1) Load printer 2) Set type to "Brother HL-1470N", save, exit. 3) Load printer again, verify setting did not stick. could you attach screenshot of that dialog, please? Created attachment 118767 [details]
Screenshot of yast after quit/reload
This is VERY problematic for me. I basically can't use this printer. No amount of selecting PPD files or printer models will 'stick' after YAST2 exits. This is VERY problematic for me. I basically can't use this printer. No amount of selecting PPD files or printer models will 'stick' after YAST2 exits. I finally went into /etc/cpus and manually copied a .ppd file: hardhat:/etc/cups/ppd # ls -la total 93 drwxr-xr-x 2 lp lp 144 2007-02-12 22:14 . drwxrwxr-x 6 lp lp 656 2007-02-12 22:12 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11912 2007-02-12 22:12 basherBR2.ppd -rw-r--r-- 1 lp lp 12045 2007-02-12 22:01 basherps.ppd -rw-r--r-- 1 lp lp 66427 2005-11-20 23:41 color.ppd My printouts are no better, but at least Yast shows the printer model correctly. Something is definitely broken here. My printouts, by the way, are all scaled about 60%. The same printer works fine from a PC with either PCL or Postscript, and from a Mac in Postscript. I've been using this printer for years, first with Redhat, then with SUSE 10.0 and 10.1. It's not the printer. It's the OS. I cannot reproduce it. It works well for me. Note that the model name in YaST is what there is in the PPD as ModelName. Perhaps there is no such entry in your PPD? It does NOT work here. It IS broken. A resolution where I copy ppd files as root is hardly a resolution. Maybe I should invite you to log in to my machine with a remote X session and see this. Yast is NOT saving the information properly. Yast must think it is saving the information, but actually fails to. Note that on this same machine yast must be run directly as root, it won't run from the GUI. Perhaps that's related? Related to bug #223341 ? First one question - did you running as a root? There is possibility to run printer module as non-root (but you will able only to see settings, not change them), so check it to be sure. Please, to help us reproduce it, could you: 1 - delete your current configuration 2 - delete your log files (or backup them away) 3 - try to reproduce and write down step-by-step (please write also details like printer model, hwinfo --printer output, ppd filename) 4 - attach yast-log files 5 - attach /etc/cups/* content Probably this will enought to reproduce here I run yast as root from the command line. As for your other requests, see above. I've done all that. after 10.3 mass reopening all 10.2 LATER+REMIND bugs. close all 10.2 LATER/REMIND bugs as WONTFIX. Reopen yourself if you still plan to work on it. |
