Description Sebastien Bacher 2005-05-04 11:20:10 UTC 
This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/9162

"I've set up a network printer using the HP JetDirect method, and set up its IP
in the "host" field.
Later on, the IP address of the printer changed, and I opened the printer
properties again. Then, I could change the IP address in the "host" field, but
closing the window and opening it again showed that the former value had been kept.

The only solution was to delete the printer and re-create it."
Comment 1 Julien Olivier 2005-09-29 13:59:04 UTC 
The problem seems to be here:

ipp_t *request = gnome_cups_request_new_for_printer (CUPS_ADD_PRINTER, printer);
ippAddString (request, IPP_TAG_PRINTER, IPP_TAG_NAME, "device-uri", NULL,
gnome_cups_strdup (uri));
gnome_cups_request_execute_async (request, NULL, "/admin/", NULL, NULL, NULL);

Shouldn't it be IPP_SET_PRINTER_ATTRIBUTES instead of CUPS_ADD_PRINTER ?
And shouldn't it be IPP_TAG_URI instead of IPP_TAG_NAME ?

Also, if I execute gnome_cups_printer_get_device_uri (printer) just before that
(using the same "printer" pointer), it returns an empty string.

I've tried to make it work myself, but it doesn't work. Any hint ?
Comment 2 Julien Olivier 2005-09-29 14:24:06 UTC 
OK, I found something: in gnome-cups-manager/printer-properties.c line 625:

	g_signal_connect_object (cs,
		"changed",
		G_CALLBACK (cb_connection_changed), xml, 0);

should be replaced by:

	g_signal_connect_object (cs,
		"changed",
		G_CALLBACK (cb_connection_changed), printer, 0);

That explains why executing gnome_cups_printer_get_device_uri (printer) insinde
cb_connection_changed didn't work: printer was, actually, xml. Now, I just have
to figure out how to tell gnome_cups to change the device-uri :)

Commiting this since it was never commited to CVS.
