The gnome utility is not the same as the system-config-printer utility (written by Red Hat). The former works fine for me in debian. BTW, I setup my debian template using 'tasksel' and chose both debian desktop and gnome. Isn't Gnome the Debian Dektop GUI? All/most of gnome was missing back when I installed the debian template. > > I did the same thing in Fedora (RedHat) and it worked fine. > > After it detected the printer, it searched for the drivers, didn't > find them, so I put the OpenDriver file on and installed it. > RedHat based, easy. Debian based, crashed. I have been manually choosing from the built-in drivers. For many printers, you can use a driver with a model number that's close if there's no exact match. There is the problem in the first place. That's the bit I can't get to, as per my OP. I can't get THAT far. If I could then I wouldn't be having the issue and be here trygin to get an answer. Its only about the 5th step when I do it. I suggest you go in through the gnome-control-center, click on the Plus sign, enter the printer IP address in the search dialog (printer should then appear, perhaps more than once), then select the LPD entry and 'Add'. At that point you should have a driver selection dialog, with manufacturers on the left and drivers on the right. > > Currently on Debian 8. I don't know if it's a bug in Debian 8 > or not though. Either in debian or the driver. It could be something in Debian OR the Qubes Drivers. Not the Printer drivers, as I can't even get to the point to select them. Its also possible something about your debian template became corrupt. If so, you could reinstall it.

How are you starting "print settings"? Did you try system-config-printer command from the terminal? And So it finds the printer on the network but crashes when it says searching for drivers?I'm not sure what you mean by print settings and sub windows. Wouldn't print settings be after you install it? Never even heard of that model maybe you have to manually download the driver from their website for fedora? not sure. You could also try asking on fedora forums. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
