GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 169963
Printer Selection Ignored
Last modified: 2005-04-05 15:55:19 UTC
Please describe the problem: This was originally filed with AbiWord (http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8608), but they advised me it was a gnome-print bug and to file a report here. I have lpd configured with two queues, each for a different printer. Each of the queues works fine and I can specify either queue via 'lp -d <queue> <file>' and the file will print at the correct printer. Here's my /etc/printcap settings: tsgcolor|TSG Color Phaser:\ :sh:\ :rm=tsgcolor:sd=/var/spool/output/tsgcolor:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: doccenter|TSG Document Center:\ :sh:\ :rm=h114ps432:sd=/var/spool/output/h114ps432:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: In AbiWord 2.2.5 (built from the FreeBSD Ports collection), when I bring up the print dialogue it lists four options: Create a PDF document Generic Postscript doccenter (via lpr) tsgcolor (via lpr) If I choose tsgcolor, it prints via tsgcolor just fine, but if I choose doccenter, the document is printed via tsgcolor. No errors are logged to the console, the /var/log/lpd-errs, or the default system log file. I should also add that if I comment out either printer in /etc/printcap, then restart lpd, I can print to the remaining queue via AbiWord just fine. Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure lpd with multiple printers 2. Tell an application with a gnome-print dialogue to print either printer 3. Actual results: Prints to the same printer, no matter which you select. Expected results: Print to the correct printer. Does this happen every time? yes Other information: no
interesting. Would you mind testing with the latest release of gnomeprint ? 2.10.0 ?
Sorry, but I cannot easily do this as I'm just running what's available in the FreeBSD ports collection.
You're in luck. The FreeBSD gnome-print port was upgraded to v2.10.0 and the problem remains the same.
got it. The patch will be in 2.10.2
I can confirm the fix in FreeBSD port libgnomeprintui-2.10.2.
Correction, make that libgnomeprint-2.10.3.
