[Bug 39069] Re: Adding Printer Fails with no Dialog

[Patrick Wagstrom]

This actually seems like more of a problem with Cups than with gnome-cups-manager.  I'm experiencing similar errors when trying to add network printers.  In particular, when I attempt to add a printer I see the following errors in /var/log/cups/access_log

localhost - - [12/Apr/2006:13:28:14 -0400] "POST /admin/ HTTP/1.1" 401 358 CUPS- Add-Printer successful-ok
localhost - root [12/Apr/2006:13:28:14 -0400] "POST /admin/ HTTP/1.1" 200 358 CU PS-Add-Printer server-error-internal-error

And the following in /var/log/cups/error_log

E [12/Apr/2006:13:28:14 -0400] CUPS-Add-Printer: Unauthorized
E [12/Apr/2006:13:28:14 -0400] copy_model: empty PPD file!

E [12/Apr/2006:13:28:14 -0400] [cups-driverd] Unable to open "/usr/share/ppd/�}̿ �}̿�}̿" - No such file or directory

When I increase the debugging level within cups I see the following errors:

D [12/Apr/2006:13:33:41 -0400] cupsdReadClient: 5 POST / HTTP/1.1
D [12/Apr/2006:13:33:41 -0400] cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.

Increasing the debug level, gives me the following output while trying to install a printer:
