Bug#290888: gnome-cups-manager: Can not set the name of a network printer.

[Francois Taiani]

Package: gnome-cups-manager
Version: 0.25-2
Severity: normal


After adding a new network printer (using the HP JetDirect protocol)
with gnome-cups-manager, I'm not able to change the name if the printer.
Here are the detailed steps of what I do (as root):

1 - I select add a new printer from the menu
2 - I select Network Printer and "HP JetDirect" protocol
3 - I enter the IP address of the printer. I leave the port to 9100.
4 - I select the HP LaserJet 4100 driver
5 - I click the apply button
6 - A new window shows up. The default name is LaserJet-4100. I change
it.
7 - I click the close button.
8 - The new printer shows up in the gnome-cups-manager, but not with the
name I gave it, but with the default one (LaserJet-4100).
9 - If I try to modify the name using the properties contextual menu, I
get the same results. No visible change.
