Public bug reported:
OS: Ubuntu 7.04
CUPS: 1.2.8-0ubuntu8
gnome-cups-manager: 0.31-3ubuntu5
kernel: 2.6.21.1 + CK2 low latency patches (uses the same config as
2.6.20-15.27)
Printer: Samsung ML-1710, USB, monochrome laser
As soon as I start a GNOME session and turn the printer on it is
detected by the system and gnome-cups-add starts allowing for
configuration of the detected printer. That is fine and working.
However, every time I turn the printer off and turn it back on the same
process happens again and I have only two options: cancel, after which
the already installed printer refuses to print or go ahead with the
wizard which results in the system now having two instances of the same
printer AND gnome-cups-add entering some odd loop. It simply keeps re-
detecting the printer every couple seconds and after a while I have
like... 20 windows blinking on the taskbar each asking me to add a
printer I already have properly configured once!
What I have done so far was kill-off gdm, stop cupsys, remove
/etc/cups/printers.conf and /etc/cups/ppd/* and /var/run/cups/*, then
restarting cupsys, gdm and powering on the printer - same story.
** Affects: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu)
