Entering the bug into bugzilla is generally a good idea, as it will ensure
that it is not overlooked/forgotten. It is also a good way of the Mandrake QA
team knowing that certain bugs are reproducible for other testers (by people
voting for existing bugs that they themselves experience) other than simply
counting the number of "me too"s on this list, and to prioritize fixes (lots
of votes = important/significant bug).
I am also experiencing problems with PrinterDrake.
I don't have any printer configured yet, but was hoping to configure an Epson
Stylus C42UX usb printer. Printerdrake gives the following error after
starting, (Similar to yours, just a few more "Use of uninitialized value"
eroors"):
- ----------------------------------------------
[root@localhost lusr]# printerdrake
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/lib/libDrakX/printer/default.pm line 37 (#1)
(W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
defined. It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.
To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.
To help you figure out what was undefined, perl tells you what operation
you used the undefined value in. Note, however, that perl optimizes your
program and the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily
appear literally in your program. For example, "that $foo" is
usually optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to
the concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in your
program.

- ----------------------------------------------
Printerdrake with me however does not stall, probably because I don't have a
printer configured already. Configuring a printer however is not possible.
Here is what I get when clicking "add new printer":
- ------------------------------------------------------
Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric lt (<) at
/usr/lib/libDrakX/printer/printerdrake.pm line 3012 (#2)
(W numeric) The indicated string was fed as an argument to an operator
that expected a numeric value instead. If you're fortunate the message
will identify which operator was so unfortunate.

This is probably a trivial fix so I won't give the output of the next few
operation, but will gladly if someone needs it. Suffice it to say that it
doesn't work.
P.S. Yes, you have broken one rule of the etiquette already! ;-)
You've set your reply-to address, which I noticed when I replied to you but
nothing arrived on the cooker list.
