Description derek 2004-11-17 18:12:28 CET
RHEL3 w/ a self compiled cups-1.1.22 , everything built from SRPMS. When
rpmbuild xfprint I gave CCFLAGS and LDFLAGS to compile agains my own cups-1.1.22
install. Listing printers with the cups-1.1.22 clients and printing to them
works fine.

When I open up xfprint and choose the drop down menu I get a list which looks
like  it is long enough to hold all the printers but every entry is blank. I can
print to the printer fine, it does accept a job but I can not tell from the
xfprint application what printer i am printing to.

do you have enought printers to fill the list size ?
Comment 2 Jean-François Wauthy editbugs 2004-11-17 18:48:30 CET
another question where is the server running ? localhost ?
Comment 3 derek 2004-12-13 21:56:14 CET
derek@scorponok:~> /usr/local/cups-1.1.22/bin/lpstat -v | wc -l
     39

So yes, there should be 39 printers. The printserver is not on localhost. It is
on a remote host, with the client.conf setting ServerName to that server.

i see, currently CUPS support is only local (hardcoded), i'll change that when
i'll have some time
Comment 5 Jean-François Wauthy editbugs 2006-08-15 14:56:06 CEST
