CUPS error.....I'm really not having fun anymore
 

I have been trying to get my stupid printer to print.
I have no idea what the heck CUPS is...I think I'm supposed to have it though.
When I try to access printconf-gui I get this display

[root@localhost glenn]# printconf-gui &
[1] 4137
[root@localhost glenn]# Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/printconf-gui", line 7, in ?

which = which_spooler ()
File "/usr/share/printconf/util/cups_import.py", line 195, in which_spooler
return which
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'which' referenced before assignment

What does it all mean ??????
I'm gonna cry now .

Try launching "printconf" in a terminal window. What distrobution are you running?

-K

I did that (RH 9)...this is what the screen reads.

[glenn@localhost glenn]$ printconf

Hrmm... I suggest removing and reinstalling the "redhat-config-printer" rpm.

rpm -e redhat-config-printer

then from your install sources ....


rpm -ivh redhat-config-printer.......
