Problem:

When I run xfprint4-manager, the window is empty and I can only access
Quit and About from the print manager's menubar.

The cups webpage interface shows the printer is installed and most
applications print fine.

I would like to use xfprint4-manager to verify documents sent to the
printer for applications that don't print fine instead of the tedious
cups webpage interface.


Steps to reproduce:

1.  n/a.  I just login as nonroot user, start X, run xfprint4-manager
from the Accessories menu.


System info:

Gentoo Linux
Xfce 4.6.0
Cups 1.3.9
Xfprint 4.6.0 (with cups_plugin.so compiled and installed)


Steps to troubleshoot:

1. recompiled xfprint with debugging enabled.
2. run xfprint-settings from terminal

$ xfprint-settings
DBG[printing-system.c:79] load_printing_system(): trying to load printing 
system module /usr/lib/xfce4/xfprint-plugins/bsdlpr_plugin.so
DBG[printing-system.c:171] load_printing_system(): printing system module loaded
DBG[printing-system.c:79] load_printing_system(): trying to load printing 
system module /usr/lib/xfce4/xfprint-plugins/cups_plugin.so
DBG[printing-system.c:171] load_printing_system(): printing system module loaded

3. looks good.  run xfprint4-manager from terminal

$ xfprint4-manager
** (xfprint4-manager:6698): WARNING **: xfprint: XfPrint/system is not set

4. open Settings Editor.  XfPrint/system not found, but printing-system
is set to cups_plugin.so.


Is it possible that some parts of xfprint were not completely converted to 
xfconf?  In commit r27696 of xfce-commit mailing list, warning messages for 
"XfPrint/system" were replaced with warning messages for "printing-system".

There seems to be a settings mixup related to xfprint4. It is impossible
to use cups printers. Symptoms are:

totty@Kapitaen:~$ xfprint4-manager

** (xfprint4-manager:12363): WARNING **: xfprint: XfPrint/system is not set
totty@Kapitaen:~$ xfprint4

** (xfprint4:12364): WARNING **: Unable to load printing system module
cups_plugin.so

There is no XfPrint/system setting but an unused

totty@Kapitaen:~$ xfconf-query -c xfprint -l
/printing-system
totty@Kapitaen:~$ xfconf-query -c xfprint -p /printing-system
cups_plugin.so

I am using xfprint 4.6.1 with Zenwalk 6.2, a Slackware based distro.

xfprint-settings shows the cups system selected and the following error:

(xfprint-settings:3258): Gdk-CRITICAL **:
gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom_for_display: assertion `atom != GDK_NONE' failed

But:

$ xfprint4-manager 
** (xfprint4-manager:2109): WARNING **: xfprint: XfPrint/system is not set

and still:

$ xfprint4
** (xfprint4:2150): WARNING **: Unable to load printing system module 
cups_plugin.so

My cups.so is here:

$ locate cups_plugin.so
/usr/lib/xfce4/xfprint-plugins/cups_plugin.so

$ ldd /usr/lib/xfce4/xfprint-plugins/cups_plugin.so | grep notfound

No lib missing.

Gentoo forums say that xfprint can't find the correct channel ... but I
am no expert in this.

I would set priority to 'high'. No mousepad printing ...

Here's a system update:

System info:------------------------------------

Gentoo Linux
Xfce 4.6.2
Cups 1.4.4
Xfprint 4.6.1-r1 (with cups_plugin.so compiled and installed)


Changes to Problem:-----------------------------

1.  at shell prompt, run xfprint4-manager, warning appears:
  "** (xfprint4-manager:7056): WARNING **: Unable to load printing system 
module cups_plugin.so"

2.  Printer Manager window appears and displays my printer and that the
printer is 'Idle'.

3.  If I remove paper from the printer, and print a test page from
Mousepad, the Printer Manager shows my printer is 'Processing', and
returns to 'Idle' even though there's an error (printer reports no
paper).


------------------------------------------------
>From my end, I see some progress.  I am confused how xfprint4-manager can list

Use case:---------------------------------------
When I filed this bug, I believe my interest was in using xfprint4-manager to 
modify the default settings of my printer.
Typically I use OpenOffice, Inkscape, Evince, etc to change printer settings 
before I print.  However, these changes seemed to become the default after 
printing, and I wanted to reset my default settings without printing another 
document.


Work around:------------------------------------
I've been using CUPS admin through my web-browser to restore printer settings.  
The web interface seems overkill, imho, but until xfprint4-manager can replace 
it, it gets me by.

Created attachment 3318
Fix

The attached patch fixes the issue by querying the proper xfconf
property to know which type of backend to use, and remove the extra
trailing comma which made the warning message shown regardless of
backend loading result (also reported in
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6089)
