Title: ebox 1.5 - printers duplicated entries in printers.conf
Post by: maxter on August 05, 2010, 03:35:55 pm
i've a lot of problem with printers module.
first of all i encountered the hplip driver problem stated here:

http://forum.ebox-platform.com/index.php?topic=4101

then i found a bug that broke the printers module.

after a fresh install of a printer (ipp or AppSocket network printer) the printers seems to work and print test pages.
in /etc/cups/printers.conf there are two different printer entries,  one for cups and another delimited by the ebox tags.

to enable this printer for the users a 'save changes' (and module restart) is required.
when the module restart the printers.conf file shows two identical entries, but the ebox tags are gone.
every modification that requires a 'save changes' adds another identical printer entry in printer.conf.
also restarting fthe printers sharing service from the dashboard add another printer entry in printers.conf.
enabling the cups web interface show a printer for every entry in printers.conf, but in the ebox printer admin web gui only one appears.
obviouosly none of the printers showed in cups web interface can print.

the printers is present in the domain resources of the ebox pc, and it is possible to connect it from others pc, but the printer does not work (no port connected)

i verified this problem both in an ebox installer setup and in lucid setup+ebox ppa
i didn't test the new 1.5-1, i will try it tomorrow and will report the result.

this is my actual printer.conf:
