system-config-printer has been updated to 1.5.3. Any better luck? Keywords:

NEEDINFO Worse. The new S-C-P hangs while searching for drivers (I think this has been reported elsewhere). Happens for both an HP MultiFunction and an Epson Inkjet. CUPS "Add Printer" works fine. Yes worse for me too. I have a Samsung-SCX-4521F multifunction laser printer. It was working in Cauldron *without* the following installed: system-config-printer task-printing-server task-printing-hp Now on going into mcc -> Configure printing & scanning -> Set up the printer... an install of the above packages is forced. The "printer" instance that I had previously still works, and thankfully I have not deleted it :) Log when printing using that one shows:- [14/Dec/2014:23:37:35 +0000] "POST /printers/Samsung-SCX-4521F HTTP/1.1" 200 418 Print-Job successful-ok but on adding a new instance of same printer as before after recent updates it is detected as "Samsung-SCX-4x24 Series PXL" and in properties it offers "Print Head Cleaning" as an option which is odd for a Laser printer! It fails to print a test page, the dialog shows "Page Submitted" and the LCD on the printer shows: Printing - Please Wait Printing... Ready but nothing happens at all and no errors are displayed anywhere. Log shows:- [15/Dec/2014:00:18:24 +0000] "POST /printers/Samsung-SCX-4x21-Series HTTP/1.1" 200 424 Print-Job successful-ok Note the different printer number Samsung-SCX-4x21-Series. No idea yet about the 200 424 as opposed to 200 418 above. I see similar if I connect it to an old machine (pIII) running Cauldron - the printer is detected again as Samsung-SCX-4x21-Series and the LCD shows PC-print... but nothing is printed (noises are made but no paper is picked up). lsusb shows: Bus 003 Device 003: ID 04e8:3419 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Composite Device I really want to get this working on the pIII machine which was running Mga4. where it also failed to print. I upgraded it last night to Cauldron as I knew that it *was* working on my main cauldron machine. :\ CC:

eeeemail, wilcal.int OK - It seems that the detected printer which is recommended in the list is incorrect. By chance I found the correct driver listed (out of alphabetical sort order - which is why I missed it previously) and this does install and work correctly. No printer is detected however without first installing task-printing. Just which of the 50+ packages this installs are actually required I have yet to discover, however I am suspecting cups-drivers-splix, why is this not installed with the drak* printing part of mcc along with the other cups drivers? Is this problem still present in latest cauldron? It worked OK for me in a recent (~1 month ago) cauldron install on the same machine. Can't speak to Barry's case, though. Let's close it and let him reopen if needed. Status:
