Thanks to the trace I found out that /var/run/cups/certs/0 is opened. Policies on this file says that group lpadmin has read permission. My user did not belong to the lpadmin group. After adding the user to the lpadmin group, the new printer dialogue pops up. Can anyone confirm this? Confirmed on Gentoo 3.5.7 KDE 4.9.3. "system-config-printer-kde" is no longer maintained and has been replaced with "Print Manager" since KDE 4.10.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". Thanks for the heads-up. I confirm that using print-manager with KDE 4.10 is the preferred way. m2: KDE SystemSettings on 4.11 here - Printer Settings is working smooth. |
Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) OS: Linux Using KDE4.8. In the systemsettings clicking Printer Config renders the whole systemsettings useless, since then the kcmshell4 hangs, showing me a busy cursor. Then I tried in the konsole: $ kcmshell4 system-config-printer-kde Which takes looooooong time, to finally crash: $ kcmshell4 system-config-printer-kde Caught non-fatal exception. Traceback: File "/usr/share/apps/system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-kde.py", line 734, in setDataButtonState printable = (self.ppd != None and AttributeError: 'GUI' object has no attribute 'ppd' Continuing anyway.. KCrash: Application 'kcmshell4' crashing... Fatal Error: Accessed global static 'KGlobalPrivate *globalData()' after destruction. Defined at /var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdelibs-4.8.0-r1/work/kdelibs-4.8.0/kdecore/kernel/kglobal.cpp:127 Unable to start Dr. Konqi However I can configure my printers well at http://localhost:631 and also printing (like PDF via okular) does work. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Installed KDE4.8, open SystemSettings, click on Printer. Expected Results: Show Printer config dialog. Don't crash.
