Gentoo Linux
Xfce 4.6.2
Cups 1.4.4
Xfprint 4.6.1-r1 (with cups_plugin.so compiled and installed)
Changes to Problem:-----------------------------
1. at shell prompt, run xfprint4-manager, warning appears:
"** (xfprint4-manager:7056): WARNING **: Unable to load printing system module cups_plugin.so"
2. Printer Manager window appears and displays my printer and that the printer is 'Idle'.
3. If I remove paper from the printer, and print a test page from Mousepad, the Printer Manager shows my printer is 'Processing', and returns to 'Idle' even though there's an error (printer reports no paper).
------------------------------------------------
From my end, I see some progress. I am confused how xfprint4-manager can list and track my printer without loading the cups_plugin.so.
Use case:---------------------------------------
When I filed this bug, I believe my interest was in using xfprint4-manager to modify the default settings of my printer.
Typically I use OpenOffice, Inkscape, Evince, etc to change printer settings before I print. However, these changes seemed to become the default after printing, and I wanted to reset my default settings without printing another document.
Work around:------------------------------------
I've been using CUPS admin through my web-browser to restore printer settings. The web interface seems overkill, imho, but until xfprint4-manager can replace it, it gets me by.
Here's a system update:
