Bug 49338 – gnome-cups-manager has erroneous entries in printer detection section of "Add Printer"

• Status: VERIFIED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Patrick Bores 2004-04-28 18:33:30 UTC]

A screenshot of this phenomenon is here:
http://www.pipegrep.net/~patrick/add_printer.png

It appears that gnome-cups-manager is fork/execing an ls command and not getting what it expected. Are some files supposed to be here that are missing?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run gnome-cups-manager
2. Click "New Printer"
3. Choose "A local printer attached to this computer" and click "Next"

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
Should say something like, "Epson Stylus 777"

what gnome-cups-manager version are you running? try to install the latest from ~x86

[Comment 2 Patrick Bores 2004-05-09 08:00:11 UTC]

I'm using version 0.17. According to portage, this is the latest version available, stable or unstable.

gnome-cups-manager-0.18 is out, please try this one

[Comment 4 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2004-08-04 09:21:23 UTC]

It appears to work with 0.18. Thanks.
