Version: (using KDE 4.3.5) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs Using the latest KDE applications from F12-stable, I am unable to get any KDE-based applications to print to a CUPS server using Kerberos. I am using cups-1.4.2-20.fc12.x86_64 I AM however, able to print just fine with Firefox under KDE to the Kerberos-enabled CUPS server. I followed the directions here: http://cups.org/documentation.php/kerberos.html From KDE apps, I get the same error as listed here: http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3435 But that problem was to have been fixed here: * Tue Dec 08 2009 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com> - 1:1.4.2-14 - The scheduler did not use the Get-Job-Attributes policy for a printer (STR #3431). - The scheduler added two job-name attributes to each job object (STR #3428). - The scheduler did not clean out completed jobs when PreserveJobHistory was turned off (STR #3425). - The web interface did not show completed jobs (STR #3436). - Authenticated printing did not always work when printing directly to a remote server (STR #3435). This was reported against Fedora here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=558006 and the recommendation was to report this upstream. This may be related to: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138414 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113764 both of which, are quite old.
KDE4 uses the Qt printing system, and while we add some extra features to the print dialog, at the level of talking to CUPS and authentication that is all Qt and something we cannot change. You should be able to confirm this by running a 'pure' Qt application such as Qt Assistant. Sorry, but you will need to raise this even further upstream at http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa Thanks!
Thank you for your information. Before I report upstream, would you be able to let me know if this is supposed to work currently? I guess what I am asking is should I report a feature request or a bug request upstream? Since I'll be reporting now 3 levels (Fedora -> KDE -> Main Qt) above where I am, I'd like to keep track of where I should land, when I fall. Thanks.
