Description Malte Cornils 2005-07-18 18:10:20 UTC 
Version details: 0.25-2.1
Distribution/Version: Debian

put something different than localhost in your /etc/cups/client.conf. Try to  
add a printer. Watch it not do this... (I suspect this is due to it not asking  
for any credentials but the local root password, which doesn't and shouldn't  
make gnome-cups-add able to access the printer adding functions on the remote  
cups server).  
  
Tested on a local cupsd: there, it works fine. (Severity major because it 
*silently* fails. It should at least say so if the feature is not yet coded)
Comment 1 Malte Cornils 2005-07-18 18:13:50 UTC 
Of course, you always find related bug reports after the fact. #156887 looks 
similar to my problem. Ugh...
Comment 2 Malte Cornils 2005-07-18 21:58:42 UTC 
Hmm. async_wrapper_cb does not get an error code back from cups. ugh. (i.e. 
*(data->error) is NULL after the add request). Ugh. Is there any easy way to 
test cups requests and corresponding error values with cups-provided 
utilities? (this would indicate whether cups does not show errors or the error 
propagation in libgnomecups is broken)
Comment 3 Malte Cornils 2005-07-18 22:36:51 UTC 
BTW, if I disable user-auth and enable access to /admin/ for everyone on the 
remote host, everything works as advertised. So, fixing #156887 and the error 
recovery would certainly fix this bug.

Moving all gnome-cups-manager bugs to new product. Filter on Kjartan's spring cleaning.
