| 0000556 | CUPS for OS/2 & eComStation | Bug | public | 2012-12-21 17:23 | 2021-04-09 10:00 |

| Summary | 0000556: When creating an ipp printer in the CUPS web GUI, the address field is pre-populated with "ipp.exe" vs "ip" | ||||
| Description | Extremely trivial, but can throw the unknowing (unsuspecting) user. The reason for pre-populating the field on the Add Printer page is that we should already know, based upon the selection on the previous screen, what protocol to use, e.g., "hp," "lpd," "http," etc., after which the use merely appends the "://" or whichever syntax applies. However, in the case of selecting an ipp printer, we get the entire executable for the backend (ipp.exe) pre-populated in that field, leading one to wonder whether the then need to add a space, and then fill in "ipp://..." or use some other syntax. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Open the CUPS web GUI in a browser. 2. Select the Administration tab. 3. Click the Add Printer button. 4. Select the radio button for "Internet Printing Protocol (ipp.exe)" 5. Click the Continue button. | ||||
| Additional Information | Again, Paul, this is extremely trivial, but as CUPS is generally confusing to the non-Linux user (as if native OS/2 printer objects aren't confusing to *everyone*!), this might lead to some false starts and further support requests, not to mention the whole "fit and polish" thing. ;-) | ||||

Should have mentioned: This is with CUPS 1.4.8. |

hmmm this may well be non-trivial to fix - I suspect it's just looking for the contents of /cups/lib/cups/backend and saving the name of anything that will execute Will see what I can do - I noticed this myself, just never got around to looking into it :) |

ps, if you're not running the 1.4.8 build i posted to the ecups-dev mailing list in November, try this one: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/76425158/cups-1.4.8-os2-20121221.zip |

Thanks. I think I inadvertently rolled back a rev somewhere along the line. I'll apply this latest one. Having some issues getting ipp working (seems to be fine under openSUSE 12.2, CUPS 1.5.3). I'll open a separate ticket for that once I figure out what's going on (socket printing works fine to the same physical printer, so it appears to be something with the ipp backend). |
