Description Sitsofe Wheeler 2016-04-01 04:05:51 UTC
Description of problem:
When trying to add an Epson WF-3520 printer an "Additional Printer Drivers Required" prompt appeared but clicking it resulted in an error message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
control-center-3.18.1-1.fc23.x86_64
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.5.2-1.1lsb3.2.fc23.x86_64
PackageKit-1.0.10-1.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:
Reproducible every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run
gnome-control-center printers
.
2. Click the Unlock button at the top right.
3. Click the + button at the bottom left.
4. Wait for the networked WF-3520 printer to appear.
5. In the "Add a New Printer" dialog select the WF-3520 printer and click the Add button at the bottom right.

Actual results:
A notification appears at the top of the screen saying "Additional Printer Drivers Required" but the Model in the Printers window is filled in with "Generic ESC/P Dot Matrix Printer" or "Generic text-only printer". Clicking the notification and choosing "Find in software" results in a window called "Unable to Find Requested Software" and a message "Unfortunately, the EPSON WF-3520 Series you were searching for could not be found. Please see this website for more information." (but the text itself is not selectable). The following is visible in journal --user:

Expected results:
A notification to appear, for the process to wait for me to acknowledge the notification and for it to be suggested that I install the epson-inkjet-printer-escpr package and after installing it for it to be used as the selected model.

Additional info:
This problem seems to be due to the epson-inkjet-printer-escpr RPM not indicating what printer drivers it provides:

$ rpm -q --provides hplip | head
hpijs = 1:3.16.2-1.fc23
hplip = 3.16.2-1.fc23
hplip(x86-64) = 3.16.2-1.fc23
postscriptdriver(apollo;apollo_2100;)
postscriptdriver(apollo;apollo_2150;)
postscriptdriver(apollo;apollo_2200;)
postscriptdriver(apollo;apollo_2500;)
postscriptdriver(apollo;apollo_2600;)
postscriptdriver(apollo;apollo_2650;)
postscriptdriver(apollo;apollo_p2000-u;)

$ rpm -q --provides epson-inkjet-printer-escpr | head
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr = 1.5.2-1.1lsb3.2.fc23
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr(x86-64) = 1.5.2-1.1lsb3.2.fc23
libescpr.so.1()(64bit)

Without the provides Packagekit has no idea what to install.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/AutomaticPrintDriverInstallation indicates this information can be extracted automatically:

'To ensure a printer driver's binary RPMs are given postscriptdriver() tags, add "BuildRequires: python-cups, cups" to the RPM spec file.

Fedora 21
Starting with Fedora 21, this should be "BuildRequires: python3-cups, cups"'

to the spec file. Inspecting the current spec file (https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/sources/spec/ ) turns up this:

%if 0%{?rhel} == 6
# For dir ownership
Requires:       cups
%else
# For dir ownership
Requires:	cups-filesystem
# So that automatic printer driver installation works
BuildRequires:	python-cups
%endif

So it looks like python-cups needs to be python3-cups and a BuildRequires on cups itself is missing when we aren't building a RHEL6 package...

This issue is spun off from Bug #1282446 .

Comment 1 Susi Lehtola 2016-04-01 05:48:08 UTC
Next time please don't hide the issue under a wall of irrelevant text. I almost reclassified the bug.

Missing BR on python3-cups added in epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.6.4-1.1lsb3.2.
