Assunto: accessing a networked printer to a FreeBSD box





people,









I am trying to access a printer from our LAN to my FreeBSD Desktop PC



which package I needed to do  that ?   system-config-printer  right  ?



NOTE :I am not trying to attach a new printer to FreeBSD just want to access an already working printer in our LAN





I

installed   system-config-printer from ports , but whenever I tried

to     do   $system-config-printer    , one blank dialog window blinks

away , the in the tty I am getting this error ..





[bhagat at storm /usr/home/bhagat]$ system-config-printer

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 5272, in 

    main(configure_printer, change_ppd)

  File "/usr/local/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 5242, in main

    mainwindow = GUI(configure_printer, change_ppd)

  File "/usr/local/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 333, in __init__

    self.AboutDialog.set_program_name(domain)

AttributeError: 'gtk.AboutDialog' object has no attribute 'set_program_name'

[bhagat at storm /usr/home/bhagat]$ 





what

the exact issue ? what I made wrong ,   (I dont think I need CUPS to be

installed as I was not trying to attach a printer to this FreeBSD box) .







Here

I am attaching the system-config-printer.py file please help me fix the

issue   ( OR I have to install any other package than

system-config-printer ?) 





I thank you all in advance for any hints to fix it out .  struggling to fix this issue for the last couple of days ..



Any hints most Welcome



Dhanesh
