Hello,
This is a newbie question. Please be gentle. Any help would be
appreciated in resolving this issue. For some reason whenever I'd try
to print, the printing interface ( with my printers and "print to pdf"
) would pop up ( in gnome), I'd choose a printer and it would
hang/lockup. This started today. Everything was fine on Friday. When I
open up a console and type:
system-config-printer
I got the following error message after doing cntrl +c:
$ system-config-printer
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
[GSW@localhost ~]$ File
"/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 1624,
in on_tvMainList_cursor_changed
self.fillPrinterTab(name)
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py",
line 1661, in fillPrinterTab
self.ppd = printer.getPPD()
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/cupshelpers.py", line 147, in
getPPD
filename = self.connection.getPPD(self.name)
KeyboardInterrupt
The application 'system-config-printer.py' lost its connection to the
display :0.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.
I reinstalled cups for the heck of it and now get this error when I use
the same approach:
system-config-printer
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py",

line 3705, in main
mainwindow = GUI(start_printer, change_ppd)
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py",
line 502, in __init__
self.populateList(start_printer, change_ppd)

line 762, in populateList
