Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: system-config-printer
When adding a new printer in the printer manager in Hardy, and the
printer is automatically discovered (through Avahi/Bonjour), there is
nonetheless no driver suggested for the printer. The usual
manufacturer/model dialog is displayed, without pre-selecting the
correct manufacturer or model. OTOH, when using the CUPS web interface
(localhost:631) and adding a new auto-detected printer, a correct driver
is suggested there (although with the quirk that no driver is marked as
"recommended", as s-c-p does).
This is with system-config-printer-gnome 0.7.81+svn1976-0ubuntu9 and
cupsys 1.3.7-1ubuntu3. The printer is a Samsung ML-1610 (USB, connected
through a print server); the printer is announced with Avahi running on
a separate Ubuntu Dapper machine, with "product=(Samsung ML-1610)". The
anonymized Avahi service file is attached.
Some questions:
- does s-c-p make suggestions for the printer driver based on the
Avahi-supplied info at all?
- or is the Avahi-supplied info just not correct or somehow misleading, so that
the correct driver could not be found?
