Comment: dapper 20060305 gnome-cups-manager 0.31-1.1ubuntu1 foomatic-filters-ppds 20060113-1 Running gnome-cups-add from a terminal gives the following error after selecting Manufacturer "HP" and Model "LaserJet 3P w/ PCL5": ** (gnome-cups-add:18455): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1024 If found out that the problem is the "/" used in the model name. Foomatic 3.0 uses a Foomatic/<driver> indication in the *NickName of a PPD to group different drivers together. For your printer there are 2 slashes in the *NickName because of the one used in the model name. It seems that gnome-cups-add incorrectly handles this. You can easily work around this: 1) Go to: $ cd /usr/share/ppd/foomatic-rip/HP 2) Unzip the file: $ sudo gunzip HP-LaserJet_3P_w_PCL5-ljet4.ppd 3) Edit the file: $ sudo nano HP-LaserJet_3P_w_PCL5-ljet4.ppd 4) Locate *NickName and remove the "/" in "LaserJet 3P w/ PCL5". 5) Save the file 6) Run gnome-cups-manager again and select your printer model again now using the model without a "/". Looking at the list of models there are a lot of printer model names that have a slash inside them, they will probably all suffer from this gnome-cups-manager bug. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
