RHBA-2004:071 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
Updated printer configuration tool fixes sharing problems
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
New redhat-config-printer packages are now available that fix assorted bugs,
including several problems with sharing queues.
Description
The redhat-config-printer packages contain graphical and text-based printer
configuration tools.
The following bugs have been found in these tools:
- A problem with the 'browsed queues' feature of the graphical
configuration tool has been addressed.
- Other fixes in this release involve the strict RFC 1179 compliance
setting, serial printers connected to ports on multi-port serial cards
(i.e. not onboard ports), some queue configurations not being upgraded
correctly, and SMB printing.
- Attempting to select an alternate driver that was first in the list of
available drivers sometimes failed.
- It was not possible to use the graphical tool to edit a queue that had
been set up using the text-based tool (fixed since RHBA-2003:276).
- Incorrect, duplicate, or missing 'Listen' and 'Allow' directives could be
placed into the cupsd.conf file (fixed since RHBA-2003:276).
Red Hat recommends that affected users install the packages contained in
this erratum, which resolve these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL Certificate
Errors, you need to install a version of the up2date client with an updated
certificate. The latest version of up2date is available from the Red Hat
FTP site and may also be downloaded directly from the RHN website:
