Re: How to install printer driver without printer connected.

Here's a user-contributed openprinting.org entry for that device (I think): http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Dell-1720dn It looks like you have two main options: PCL and PostScript. CUPS in Fedora 12 already comes with drivers for both of these languages so it shouldn't be too hard to set up. It won't be automatic though, as far as I can tell. This is because that device is not specifically listed as being supported by any of the main printer drivers. > How can I "install the required driver" while at home, from which I have > access to the IN (and the CD I installed from, though I've no handy > means of using this where the printer is). First, make sure you have installed the updates. Next, take a look at this entry in the common bugs list: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F12_bugs#foomatic-not-installed As foomatic does contain some additional PCL and PostScript drivers, it might be worth installing it. Better to have it available to try than not, especially with no Internet connection on site. Also worth installing: gutenprint-cups, which has some PCL drivers of its own. Once you have all those installed there's not a lot more you can usefully do until you have the device connected. Once you have though it should prompt you to select a driver for it, presuming it's a USB device. Otherwise: System->Administration->Printing Click New The printer should already be shown and selected; if not, select the connection type (e.g. LPT #1 or whatever). Click Next. Select Generic for the manufacturer. (PCL and PostScript are standard languages supported by many different manufacturers, and as I said earlier there is no driver with specific support for this model.) Click Forward. Select PCL Laser Printer (this is the CUPS PCL driver), for example. Click Forward, and follow the rest of the on-screen instructions. It will ask you whether to print a test page -- do this. If it doesn't work, double-click on the printer icon in the printer configuration window and click the 'Change...' button next to 'Make and Model:', and try another driver.

Works fine on my Fedora 11 (client) -> Fedora 10 (server) set-up here,
so it's some configuration issue local to you.

You don't.
Run the printing troubleshooter: System->Administration->Printing, then
System->Administration.
File a bug report against cups, and attach the troubleshoot.txt file you
got from the troubleshooter, as well as an explanation of where the
printer is in relation to you on the network.

Is it sharing printers using CUPS browsing (i.e. 'Share printers connected to this system')? Is that server on the same subnet as your client?

The print queues themselves are disabled, but visible in the Firefox print dialog? So it isn't a Firefox-specific problem then? A queue being "enabled" or "disabled" does not have anything to do with whether you can print to it -- that's "accepting"/"rejecting".

In /etc/cups/cupsd.conf you'll see a section that starts: In that section are sub-sections like this: Require user @SYSTEM Order deny,allow Here, '@SYSTEM' means 'in one of the system groups', and the default CUPS system groups are sys, root, and system.

Most operations go through PolicyKit; however, clicking on New requires fetching the list of available devices, an operation that previous versions of CUPS had allowed without authentication.

After cups-pk-helper had been developed, CUPS 1.4 introduced an extra authentication requirement by default for fetching the list of available devices.

The first thing to check is your local firewall settings. If you are relying on your client machine acting as a print server then the change to more strict default firewall settings in Fedora 9 broke that. The next thing I'd say is: why not use BrowsePoll on the clients, instead of making them all go straight to the central CUPS server? That way, you can use your local CUPS server to see both locally-connected printers and shared network printers, even in situations where CUPS browsing won't work.

In IPP terms, the "connecting-to-device" state is still present for the printer object, and has been for a while (60 seconds). What this really means can depend on which backend is being used.

That sounds like your SELinux contexts have gone wrong. Is SELinux
enabled and in enforcing mode? ('/usr/sbin/getenforce')
Are the CUPS SELinux file contexts as they should be? ('rpm -V cups' or
'/sbin/restorecon -nvR /etc/cups')

Using a version of CUPS shipped with at least Fedora 8 will be a lot faster on start-up. For one thing, devices are probed on-demand rather than always being probed at start-up.

It would be much easier to just run the printing troubleshooter, System->Administration->Printing, then Help->Troubleshoot. It automates log capture and can even diagnose some simple problems. If it fails to identify the problem, you can see the diagnostic output including the relevant portions of the log files. If the diagnostic output is too cryptic to understand but you think there is a bug in the software, file a bug report about your problem and attach the troubleshoot.txt file.
