Bug 30288 – foomatic 3.0.0 error

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

[Description Tiago Ferreira 2003-10-03 19:20:25 UTC]

After successfully emerged foomatic 3.0.0 i tried installing my printer, but
when generating the PPD file i get this error:

root@fast linux #foomatic-configure -s cups -p HP-DeskJet_959C -c
file:/dev/usb/lp0 -n HP -d hpijs

Undefined subroutine &Foomatic::DB::translate_printer_id

Seems like some function is missing from the perl part...
Since some part comes from CVS i believe the problem comes from there.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge foomatic
2.foomatic-configure -s cups -p HP-DeskJet_959C -c file:/dev/usb/lp0 -n HP -d hpijs


Actual Results:  
Undefined subroutine &Foomatic::DB::translate_printer_id

so what did you mean with "some parts from CVS"?

no, it's not cvs, just the version scheme of foomatic-db. try to recompile
perl and then recompile foomatic-db
