Sorry for delay in responding, but internet service was not working till this
morning.
Still no luck, however the failure point moved to line 726 in printer.pm.
I did some more checking and I found two things:
1. The required packages are not being installed during the automated
install. Based on observered differences on the ALT-F3 screen between the
regular GUI install and the auto install.
2. line 722 reference ( $printer->{currentqueue}{'id'} ) to 'id' is
different than the value in my auto_inst.cfg file and causes a missing value
for the '-p' option.
I got the install to complete successfully by:
1. modifying the 'packages' to force install all rpms that where present
after a regular GUI install. (see file contents at end)
2. modifying the auto_inst.cfg printer key from 'printer' to 'id'.
From:
'printer' => {
'configured' => {
'HP990CL2' => {
'queuedata' => {
'printer' =>
'530418',
to:
'printer' => {
'configured' => {
'HP990CL2' => {
'queuedata' => {
'id' =>
'530418',
I know that my solutions is not the right one, but it may provide you with
the hint needed to identify the correct solution.
The following is my auto_inst.cfg file that was generated by the 'Automated'
button at the end of the GUI install, following that is the one that I had to
use to get a successful install.
I am going to be away for a couple days, so I will not be able to test any
thing until Sunday.
Best regards
Dave
