125800 - "there was a problem printing. no printer could be found

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

I can't print with the latest linux build: 2002-02-15-13-trunk (comm.)

on clicking print I get a message saying "There was a problem printing.  No 
printer could be found"  

4.7x works fine on same machine.  
this is a smoketest blocker

Do you build yourself ?
If yes, please update the "configure" script, we added a build flag to disable
the build of the postscript module on demand.
Check whether the |MOZ_ENABLE_POSTSCRIPT| symbol is set in config/autoconf.mk :
-- snip --
cat config/autoconf.mk | fgrep "MOZ_ENABLE_POSTSCRIPT"
-- snip --

It should return "MOZ_ENABLE_POSTSCRIPT=1". 
If not the postscript module won't be build...

Roland, can you back out your fix until you figure out how to get that working ?

Did you get that OK'd with Rod.. this should have been cleared with Rod and
myself so we could head off this kind of problem.  Why do we have that
flag..when linux is very dependent on that module?

Rods ok'd the changes from bug 80625 .	I missed the missing AC_SUBST when I
reviewed the configure changes.  This patch should fix that problem. (run
autoconf after applying)

Remember - we have the Xprint print module, too. The idea behind the
--disable-postscript build flag is that we do not need the PostScript module
when we can use Xprint module (this is an optional flag for platforms which ship
with the server side of Xprint ("Xprt") by default (that are Solaris>=2.7 and
HP-UX), we're building both modules by default) ...
