Confirmed that renaming KONICA MINOLTA to Minolta works for another victim. Thanks -- Gnome Cups Manager doesn't install Minolta printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/29966 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 29966] Re: Gnome Cups Manager doesn't install Minolta printer
The magicolor_2400W-m2400w.ppd contains *Manufacturer indication KONICA MINOLTA, while gnome-cups-manager uses indication Minolta which is also used by Foomatic. Gnome-cups-manager will match KONICA MINOLTA to Minolta and look for you printer model there, since it isn't there it matches the one that closely resembles it, in your case magicolor 2430 DL. Please note this is only a viewing problem in the Properties Driver tab of gnome-cups-manager, this does not affect the functioning of the printer since the PPD was installed correctly. To prove this you could change the *Manufacturer indication to Minolta by editing /usr/share/cups/model/magicolor_2400W-m2400w.ppd. Then remove your printer in gnome-cups-manager and add it again and look in the Properties Driver tab, you will see that the correct driver is indicated. If I understand correctly you printer works except for the gnome-cups-manager Test Page? If this is the case please attach your /var/log/cups/error_log after you pressed the Test Page button. -- Gnome Cups Manager doesn't install Minolta printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/29966 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I am not able to select m2300w on my notebook. However, this isn't related to the issue that has been reported. The issue is that is possible to select a driver, but gnome-cups-manager but the selection is not accepted. -- Gnome Cups Manager doesn't install Minolta printer https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29966 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 29966] Re: Gnome Cups Manager doesn't install Minolta printer
I'm using dapper 20060415. This printer needs m2300w driver which is not included in ubuntu or debian. So you should not be able to select m2300w driver. This printer/driver is not listed on my computer in gnome-cups-manager using the latest foomatic-filters-ppds 20060406-0ubuntu1. Does gnome-cups-manager still detect your printer and suggest 2300w driver after latest dapper printing updates? -- Gnome Cups Manager doesn't install Minolta printer https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29966 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 29966] Re: Gnome Cups Manager doesn't install Minolta printer
On my desktop machine, I did install m2300w from sf.net (I have tried both the source distribution and the rpm via alien). The issue is still there with the latest release. On my notebook, I didn't install m2300w. I don't have access to that machine right now. I will check it as soon as this machine is available again. -- Gnome Cups Manager doesn't install Minolta printer https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29966 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

- did you try to use the foo2zjs package included in ubuntu? ** Changed in: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Needs Info Target: ubuntu-5.10 = None -- Gnome Cups Manager doesn't install Minolta printer https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29966 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 29966] Re: Gnome Cups Manager doesn't install Minolta printer
I did try the foo2zjs package, but it didn't work. The issue apparently is not that there is a bad driver but that even after selecting the correct driver (m2300w), this selection somehow gets lost. According to http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ Minolta Magicolor 2400 W is not supported (that printer doesn't use Zenographics ZjStream wire protocol ).
