Bug#597071: system-config-printer-kde: Printer Configuration hangs loading ppds
Package: system-config-printer-kde
Version: 4:4.4.5-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Starting works fine. But when clicking on New Printer it takes a long time to
load and displays also my detected printer. But the next step (which is
choosing the right driver) ends up in a looping load. So nothing happens if you
click next.
This is the output in terminal:
kcmshell4 system-config-printer-kde
Caught non-fatal exception. Traceback:
File "/usr/share/kde4/apps/system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-
kde.py", line 2290, in getPPDs_thread
self.ppds_result = cupshelpers.ppds.PPDs(ppds_dict,
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ppds'
Continuing anyway..
I think it is an indentation error somewhere. Cause importing cupshelpers in
line 2289 manually ("import cupshelpers") fixes this loop hangs. But other
functions in system-config-printer-kde.py still don't find cupshelpers.
I couldn't fix it on my own as I don't know how.
