** Description changed: xubuntu 15.04 64 bit system-config-printer 1.5.6 when I click the button "Print self test page", I expect the printer to produce a self test page instead I get error "client-error-bad-request" and no self test page. the cups error log has the entry Print-Job client-error-bad-request: No file in print request. Note that I can get the printer to generate the self test page by printing a command file from terminal. - So it seems that system-config-printer is not providing the command - file, or not providing the command filename to cups? + Added 3rdOct2015 + The problem seems to be due to default buffering of the temporary command file. I can fix the problem by changing the buffering to buffer 1 line. + + in file printerproperties.py + I changed the line 1232 + with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(mode='wt') as tmpfile: + to + with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(mode='wt',buffering=1) as tmpfile: + and now the command file sending works for me.
