Re: How to install printer driver without printer connected.

Here's a user-contributed openprinting.org entry for that device (I think): http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Dell-1720dn It looks like you have two main options: PCL and PostScript. CUPS in Fedora 12 already comes with drivers for both of these languages so it shouldn't be too hard to set up. It won't be automatic though, as far as I can tell. This is because that device is not specifically listed as being supported by any of the main printer drivers. How can I install the required driver while at home, from which I have access to the IN (and the CD I installed from, though I've no handy means of using this where the printer is). First, make sure you have installed the updates. Next, take a look at this entry in the common bugs list: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F12_bugs#foomatic-not-installed As foomatic does contain some additional PCL and PostScript drivers, it might be worth installing it. Better to have it available to try than not, especially with no Internet connection on site. Also worth installing: gutenprint-cups, which has some PCL drivers of its own. Once you have all those installed there's not a lot more you can usefully do until you have the device connected. Once you have though it should prompt you to select a driver for it, presuming it's a USB device. Otherwise: System-Administration-Printing Click New The printer should already be shown and selected; if not, select the connection type (e.g. LPT #1 or whatever). Click Next. Select Generic for the manufacturer. (PCL and PostScript are standard languages supported by many different manufacturers, and as I said earlier there is no driver with specific support for this model.) Click Forward. Select PCL Laser Printer (this is the CUPS PCL driver), for example. Click Forward, and follow the rest of the on-screen instructions. It will ask you whether to print a test page -- do this. If it doesn't work, double-click on the printer icon in the printer configuration window and click the 'Change...' button next to 'Make and Model:', and try another driver.

(I'm speaking more generally than this particular issue.) It doesn't work practically: configuration for packages needs to live with the package. Putting gigantic amounts of configuration into the %post of a kickstart file quickly becomes unmanageable. And the idea that we make configuration changes in the %post of the kickstart really falls part badly once people start upgrading their install to the next version of Fedora. For the particular issue of PolicyKit policy there is no reason at all not to have the entire policy (for the entire system) in one package per spin. The design of PolicyKit 1.0 makes this really easy. It doesn't work statistically: people in general don't get upset about decisions made about the desktop because they aren't using a desktop. They get upset because they *are* using a desktop and have a different vision for that detail. This is one of the reasons I think policies each need to be handled centrally, each with a specific documented goal. It doesn't work out conceptually: you can't escape having to make decisions. If the only vision we have is how the Desktop spin works, then what policy goes into the package? The packages should ship with a multi-user server-type policy, i.e. a restrictive one -- this could even be set out in the packaging guidelines if need be. Practically speaking it will be the configuration that was designed for the desktop spin, with various random changes and missing pieces where people yelled a lot on fedora-devel-list. That's not a coherent operating system. (And it's a bad basis for spins other than the Desktop spin.) Each of the policy packages should override all of the available policy, IMHO.

You don't.
Run the printing troubleshooter: System-Administration-Printing, then
System-Administration.
File a bug report against cups, and attach the troubleshoot.txt file you

In /etc/cups/cupsd.conf you'll see a section that starts: Policy default In that section are sub-sections like this: Limit CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer CUPS-Delete-Printer ...

When defining a new policy mechanism for PolicyKit, what are the rules for setting the default policy? PolicyKit's flexibility is excellent, but it means that we have to choose sensible and consistent defaults for each application that uses it. I ask because the default policy for cups-pk-helper is to require the root password, and not to remember it even for that session. What is the goal of the default Fedora PolicyKit policy system-wide, and how can we check that PolicyKit mechanisms' default policies are adhering to it?

There is no PolicyKit action to fetch available devices provided by cups-pk-helper, so this operation falls back to the IPP method and prompts you for a password. Here's the open bug against cups-pk-helper that tracks that issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506513 Or does this have nothing to do with PolicyKit and system-config-printer is merely the most annoying app ever written when it comes to asking for root auth?

The extra time is actually the first one, after clicking New. After cups-pk-helper had been developed, CUPS 1.4 introduced an extra authentication requirement by default for fetching the list of available devices.

Re: Maintainer Responsibilities
My own opinion is that the package maintainer is responsible for reporting bugs upstream when they are able to reproduce them. One reason for my belief is that I've seen the situation from the other side: as an upstream maintainer for a package, getting bug reports directly from users of a packaged version in another operating system. It can be a frustrating experience because the person reporting the bug can never be quite sure which version they are using (due to additional patches used in packaging), and generally are not able to try out suggested patches or pull from a source code repository. My point is that it isn't only the people reporting bugs that get frustrated by go report it upstream, it is also the larger free software community. Another reason for maintainers to give bug reports due diligence is that it is hard to report bugs. Package maintainers may not always appreciate this, since they do it all the time, but look at bugzilla as though you've never seen it before (or just remember back to when you first saw it) -- it is hard to fill out a huge form, and if the problem is not severe enough to warrant your time on it (or you aren't even sure if it's a bug) you may just not bother. Bug reporters are absolutely essential to healthy free software and should be treated with respect. They are our eyes. Roll on ABRT.

I don't know if this is fixed, | but the last thing I just tried to print (a massive two page doc) just | worked! | | I am happier than I used to be. :-) :-) If/when you're happy that it's fixed you could add a comment to the update marking it works for me. It's currently got karma +2 -- if it gets to +3 the update will be pushed automatically. Alternatively, if you find that the problem still happens feel free to add a does not work comment, and file a bug. I'll take a look to see if it's something to add into the update.

Re: iprint iphone app and F10/cups
On Tue, 2008-12-30 at 22:00 -0600, Steven Stern wrote: Has anyone been able to get a decent photo print from the HP iPhone App iPrint? I've got bonjour enabled for my printer and the app sees it, but the photo doesn't fit on the page -- only a small portion of it prints. Sounds like it might be a paper size issue. To try to diagnose the problem, run the printing troubleshooter: System-Administration-Printing from the main menu, then Help-Troubleshoot from the menu bar. Select the printer you want to use, and when you get to the stage where it asks you to print a test page, do so using the iPhone. You should end up with a troubleshoot.txt file, and it will show all of the job options used for that job.
