I tried also running sudo foomatic-gui &
(requires foomatic-db to be installed). Here ate least I got a list of the printers detected by CUPS and it seems that the correct USB URIs are used. Network printers I could not test, as the network printer detection falls into an infinite loop due to an upstream bug. Problem is that again the available PPDs/driversare not polled from CUPS, so there are no PostScript printer PPDs from manufacturers (ready-made PPDs) nor any PPDs provided by PPD generators (HPLIP, Gutenprint). This renders also this tool unusable for Ubuntu. My suggestion: Remove foomatic-gui sourcepackage altogether. Add transitional packages to other packages (like system-config-printer) to migrate users of foomatic-gui and printconf. -- 10.04 -> 10.10: printconf is blocking the upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/647460 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
