Public bug reported: Binary package hint: system-config-printer
After installing the PPD for my Brother HL4040CN and printing a test page, I had a look through the properties. After I pressed Refresh on the "Ink/Toner Levels" page, the whole properties dialog resized itself to be wider than my screen and won't allow itself to be resized any smaller. It's about 1800 pixels wide on my 1280x1024 display; I grabbed a screenshot (in two parts!) which I'll attach. The PPD I'm using comes as a pair of .debs downloaded directly from Brother (URLs below); it's entirely possible that the bug lies with those packages but I would have thought that system-config-printer ought to detect a situation like this. * http://www.brother.com/cgi-bin/agreement/agreement.cgi?dlfile=http://solutions.brother.com/Library/sol/printer/linux/rpmfiles/lpr_debian/hl4040cnlpr-1.0.0-7.i386.deb&lang=English_lpr * http://www.brother.com/cgi-bin/agreement/agreement.cgi?dlfile=http://solutions.brother.com/Library/sol/printer/linux/rpmfiles/cups_wrapper/hl4040cncups-1.0.0-7.i386.deb&lang=English_gpl ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Nov 23 21:15:59 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) InterpreterPath: /usr/bin/python2.6 Lpstat: device for HL4040CN: lpd://beryl/PASSTHRU NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: system-config-printer-gnome 1.1.12+git20090826-0ubuntu8 PackageArchitecture: all Papersize: a4 PpdFiles: HL4040CN: Brother HL-4040CN series CUPS v1.1 ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=f96b4ff3-2ed5-4c2d-bff6-d7c0a193ae99 ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.48+ureadahead2-generic SourcePackage: system-config-printer Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic x86_64 XsessionErrors: (gnome-settings-daemon:5876): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed (gnome-settings-daemon:5876): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:5999): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (nautilus:5975): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed (gnome-terminal:6043): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_paint_extension: assertion `style->depth == gdk_drawable_get_depth (window)' failed dmi.bios.date: 05/10/2007 dmi.bios.vendor: Intel Corp. dmi.bios.version: MQ96510J.86A.1687.2007.0510.0258 dmi.board.asset.tag: Base Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: DG965SS dmi.board.vendor: Intel Corporation dmi.board.version: AAD41678-306 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnIntelCorp.:bvrMQ96510J.86A.1687.2007.0510.0258:bd05/10/2007:svn:pn:pvr:rvnIntelCorporation:rnDG965SS:rvrAAD41678-306:cvn:ct3:cvr: ** Affects: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug -- Toner levels make the Printer Properties dialog too wide for my screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/487314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
