I think that most of our problems can be solved by using system-config-printer without our patches, like OpenSuse or Fedora, but for that, we need to support packagekit cf thread https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/dev/2016-04/msg00305.html

I know it can be solved with updates after release, but those printer problems are so ugly :-(

please test system-config-printer-1.5.7-5.mga6 in cauldron/testing it try to use PackageKit
Sorry for the late reply. I did not have any of the bugs in this tracker, but saw no regressions when updating s-c-p to 1.5.7-5.mga6 on my 32bit cauldron, adding a network printer and printing with it works like before. I'll try to copy the request to test system-config-printer-1.5.7-5.mga6 to all those bug reports this evening, because the authors & the persons in the CC did not see Comment #4 with the request in this tracker.
It works as expected on real HW With UEFI firmware. Bug 18342 still present on real HW With BIOS firmware. (Dell latitude)

It doesn't work at all, in the MCC, when I click on "Set up the printers ..." I get a warning "This program has exited abnormally" and nothing happens.

sorry, my bad, I fixed the typo, thanks for the report please test system-config-printer-1.5.7-7.mga6 in cauldron/testing
Another typo has been fixed and system-config-printer-1.5.7-8.mga6 has been submitted to core/updates_testing in Cauldron.

Those are just warnings, not errors...

Can you add a printer now, André, or is bug 18342 still valid?
No, in the console, the graphic interface never show up and in the MCC always the same crash.
The behaviour isn't always the same, always a crash but sometimes the graphic interface shows up and sometime not. As there are new ISOs, I am downloading and will do an update.
With mga6rc from August the 13rd newly installed and updated, system-config-printer-1.5.7-8.mga6, The system-config-printer command launched in a console ends up by "rmmod: ERROR: Module lp is not currently loaded" and the computer is totally frozen No improvement.

Hi. As asked by Marja in bug 11003, I'm here to inform the successful installation of an Epson printer. Steps: 1. Install lsb-noarch package. 2. Go to Epson site. 3. Inform printer model, accept terms of service... 4. Download RPM driver. 5. Right-click, install. 6. Open MCC. 7. Go to Hardware/Printer/Add network ipp printer (ppd may be asked, it's in /opt). 8. That's it. In my case, Epson L805, support is not complete apparently. For instance, resolution is shown _only_ as 300x300dpi. But photographs look good enough.

BTW, I'm using Mga6sta1 -- install it first without LSB and add it later, as per bug 19593.
Kinda off-topic: Retracting my affirmation in comment #18 above, the Epson L805 (at least on Linux) has simplified settings setting for paper and printing quality -- e.g. "plain papers - High" or "plain papers - Standard".
Hi, FYI I filed bug 19708 (update messes up with printing).

@ Florian Could you help with printer bugs again, until the forums are back up?

If people are still watching this bug, please try system-config-printer-1.5.9-1.mga6 in core/updates_testing.

Hi, This is High priority bug for a good reason. Making Mageia even better than ever is best direction. In order to do right thing, this bug should be examined and fixed as soon as possible. Packagers, please make the status to Assigned when you are working on this. Feel free to reassign the bug if bad-triaged. Also, if bug is old, please close it. On October 1st 2020, we will drop priority to normal.
