Description Chris 2004-05-14 06:42:35 UTC
I issue this on the command line:
foomatic-configure -s cups -p HP-LaserJet_8150 -c "smb://MYDOMAIN/MYSERVER/accthp8150" -n "accthp8150" -d Postscript

it crashes with this:
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2/Foomatic/DB.pm line 3389.

I have done this many times on other (older) gentoo systems with no problems (installed this very printer with this very command)

I have tried renamaing the printer, I have tried installing other printers, always crashes -- whether local or network.

Printers are not installed.

net-print/foomatic-3.0.1
dev-lang/perl-5.8.2-r1
net-print/cups-1.1.20-r1

Cupsd is running.

Entire system is up to date as of today (5/14/2004).  No unstable packages installed.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Issue this command:
foomatic-configure -s cups -p HP-LaserJet_8150 -c "smb://MYDOMAIN/MYSERVER/accthp8150" -n "accthp8150" -d Postscript
2.Read error output: Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2/Foomatic/DB.pm line 3389   (line # varies depending upon printer model)
3.Curse, swear, rant and rave then finally post to gentoo forum.  
4.After post to forum is ignored, then post bug :0)

Actual Results:  
Crashes.

Printer not installed.

Expected Results:  
My printer should have installed to cups
