Description of problem: The pdfdistiller cups backend (/usr/lib/cups/backend/pdf) installed with cups package returns an invalid URI for s-c-p, that makes s-c-p freeze each time you try to add a printer (bugs #193 and #403). If you remove /usr/lib/cups/backend/pdf, s-c-p works fine. pdfdistiller -> http://printing.kde.org/downloads/pdfdistiller We can fix this bug by either: 1) remove completely the pdfdistiller backend from cups. Currently most applications allow to print on pdf file directly. Moreover, there is already another pdf backend (cups-pdf) which seems to work better than pdfdistiller. 2) fix pdfdistiller (s#direct pdf#direct pdf:/tmp# at line 29) and split it out of cups in an optionnal subpackage. pdfdistiller is an quite old shell script from kde that seems to me fragile. I think it should be better to not keep it included in cups package. 3) fix pdfdistiller and keep it in cups package. Personnaly, I'm in favour of 1), or 2) if we want to keep pdfdistiller backend in the distro. WDYT? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.4.6-2.mga1.src.rpm system-config-printer-1.3.1-3.mga1.src.rpm How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to add a printer with system-config-printer
