I can confirm this bug. If I add network printer(ipp) printer configuration panel no works This bug is still present on Kubuntu 12.04 with the latest 4.8.3 updates. Steps to reproduce is simply trying to add a network printer using ipp. Is this bug a Kubuntu-only bug? Is anybody looking into it? We need to fix this ASAP, it really puts KDE in a bad light. "system-config-printer-kde" is no longer maintained and has been replaced with "Print Manager" since KDE 4.10. The new version is a C++ rewrite of the old Python version, and may still lack some features or have some bugs. If this or another issue still needs to be addressed in KDE 4.10 or newer, please add a comment, or report it for "Print Manager". |
Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.4) OS: Linux I've managed to setup the printer in the past, but the printer configuration panel no longer works. The issue is still there in 4.8 RC1. I'm using a network printer with IPP. Instead of the configuration dialog I get a message about missing KCModule. When starting systemsettings from the CLI, I see the traceback at the end of this text. A quick look at that code shows that getPPD() returns a bool with value False which results in the AttributeError.
