Hi, I'd like to report an issue with printerdrake.
The quick and the short of it is that if you change the mount points of your cd drive from what they were during the initial Mandrake install, then printerdrake fails. To explain: :During the intial mandrake install I did not choose to install a printer. :After installation I edit my fstab and create different mountpoints for my cd drives. :At some later stage I run printerdrake from the command line. It asks for the 1st :mandrake cd and politely ejects my cd tray. I then insert the (correct) cd, and click :on ok in the dialogue box thats asking for the cd to be put in /dev/cdrom. This is when the fun starts. It ejects the tray again, asking for the cd. This will go on endlessly, cause it doesnt recognise that cdrive as containing the right cd. To overcome: :In rpmdrake, choose define sources, select the existing entry for cd1 and cd2, and :alter the url to reflect the new mountpoints I have defined in my modified fstab. Rerun printerdrake and all is happy and well - it works in other words. Possible solution? Is it possible to get printerdrake to provide another option besides the ok and cancel buttons in the dialogue where it asks for the cd? A third option that allows you to specify the location of the cd its asking for. Its not immediately obvious that in order to fix printerdrake you need to edit settings in rpmdrake.... Hope this helps, am willing to provide further info as needed!! Hamster.
