I also looked at other systems with Oneiric installed. a) an upgrade from Natty - works correctly b) a new Oneiric install - works correctly
I found that my problem was caused by an entry in /etc/cups/printers.conf for a printer that no longer exists. The entry was for the <DefaultPrinter> section. I fixed it by these steps: Stop CUPS, so we can edit the conf file safely > /etc/init.d/cups stop Edit /etc/cups/printers.conf from: > <DefaultPrinter> > ...the non-existent printer entries... > </Printer> > <Printer> > ...a valid printers entries... > </Printer> to: > <DefaultPrinter> > ...a valid printers entries... > </Printer> Restart CUPS > /etc/init.d/cups start I can only assume that system-config-printer-kde needs better error handling. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to system-config-printer-kde in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/814770 Title: oneiric kubuntu printer configuration fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer-kde/+bug/814770/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
