Fedora 6: Printer configuration error

[Grigory Klyuchnikov]

Hello!

I cannot configure FC 6 printers. The system-config-printer hanged after 
start. The cups service is running, it automatically  find networks 
printers, but print tasks aren't going to printers. What's up?

Grigory.

Grigory, if you open the cups interface (localhost:631) on the server you 
should be able to see where the print jobs end up.  I'd be interested to see 
the answer.

Yes, I can see the print jobs, but don't see the results on the printers.

Are they where you expected them to be?  Do you see any messages, like, for 
instance, 'Sending file....'?

Oh, my cups caught a Suse Linux node's printers (his name's "shtopor"), 
for example printer "horse" has

Horse http://shtopor:631/printers/Horse "Connecting to shtopor on
    port 631..."

http://shtopor:631/printers/Horse 	*Description:* HP 2300
*Location:* 192.168.10.226
*Make and Model:* HP LaserJet 2300 Postscript (recommended) on shtopor
*Printer State:* idle, accepting jobs, published.
*Device URI:* ipp://shtopor:631/printers/Horse

But why? I don't understand...

Grigory.

Maybe the Suse box has a printer queue on the same server, and that's what you 
are seeing?

Going back to your statement that you can see the print jobs, but get no 
output, where exactly do you see the print jobs?  Is it on the cups interface 
Jobs page?  If so, get the name of the printer that they should be 
addressing, then look at the Printers page to see whether the printer has 
been stopped.  If it has, there is a button for Start Printer.  If that 
doesn't work, you could try from a root console issueing this command?

Hi Grigory,

Have you applied all the updates?  There were several bugs fixed in
system-config-printer since release.  If you have applied the updates,
please file a bug report about system-config-printer hanging in
bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla

Thanks,
Tim.
