Description Philippe Fremy 2003-04-22 22:04:12 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:          Linux

I have an epson cx3200. I have noticed that when the ink cartridge is empty, kprinter will crash. What happens is that the kprinter dialog shows up for one or two seconds and then crash.

Now that I have replaced the ink cartridge it works again. After the two seconds delay, I get the information on my printer. For this printer, kdeprint is able to tell me the ink level.

I think it has been crashing since the level has been low. When I use my printer for copying, it would give me a warning.

Sorry no backtrace at hand. Next time my ink is empty, I'll do more testing.

Shouldn't it be possible to put back the empty ink cartridge for reproducing the bug and 
getting the backtrace?

Wow, never heard about such a problem. For sure, kdeprint has not
a different behavior regarding the printer, according to the ink
level. Can you check that it's not related to bug #56263?

Michael.

I've thrown the empty cartridge, so it is not possible to use it again. 
 
I think I have updated to kde 3.1.1a and changed the cartridge more or less at the 
same time. So it may indeed be a bug that was fixed by the new KDE version.

Comment 4 Michael Goffioul 2004-02-26 08:54:18 UTC

Do you still have the problem?

Comment 5 Philippe Fremy 2004-02-26 09:47:26 UTC

Hard to say. I don't think so but I promise I'll check next time my ink is empty again.

Comment 6 Cristian Tibirna 2005-09-20 05:50:00 UTC

Philippe, was your ink cartridge empty again in the last 19 months?

Comment 7 Philippe Fremy 2005-09-20 10:12:18 UTC

I was not able to reproduce the bug since then. The simple fact that 
this bug could occur looks already very strange to me and I am inclined 
to attribute it to something else.

We can close it. I'll open it if it ever reappears.
