Pierre COUTANT, I do not exactly understand what you meant with your above comments but I assume you mean in your comment #5 that your attachment #485074 [details] is wrong and your attachment #485078 [details] is the right one. Accordingly I mark attachment #485074 [details] as obsolete.
y2log from attachment #485078 [details] contains: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2012-04-04 15:50:44 <1> linux-gt5r.site(2223) [YCP] Printerlib.ycp:66 Executing bash commandline: /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/ create_printer_ppd_database >/var/lib/YaST2/printer_ppd_database.ycp 2012-04-04 15:51:14 <3> linux-gt5r.site(2223) [bash] ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):78 lpinfo: Unknown -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 727911 ***
y2log from attachment #485078 [details] contains it several times: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2012-04-04 15:51:14 <3> linux-gt5r.site(2223) [bash] ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):78 lpinfo: Unknown ... 2012-04-04 15:56:52 <3> linux-gt5r.site(3415) [bash] ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):78 lpinfo: Unknown ... 2012-04-04 16:11:06 <3> linux-gt5r.site(5975) [bash] ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):78 lpinfo: Unknown ... 2012-04-04 16:15:26 <3> linux-gt5r.site(28264) [bash] ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):78 lpinfo: Unknown ... 2012-04-04 16:21:21 <3> linux-gt5r.site(29213) [bash] ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):78 lpinfo: Unknown ... 2012-04-05 19:08:38 <3> linux-gt5r.site(7127) [bash] ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):78 lpinfo: Unknown -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This shows that in some cases whatever the root cause is for "lpinfo: Unknown" does not go away after some minutes. As long as "lpinfo -m" fails with "lpinfo: Unknown" on your particular system, yast2-printer cannot get the printer driver information from CUPS and therefore yast2-printer cannot find a printer driver.
