In case anybody else has this problem, it turns out that someone installed Perl 5.8 on the system and replaced /usr/bin/perl with the binary from 5.8. We linked /usr/bin/perl to the version (5.6.1) that is installed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1 and the printer configuration utility is now working again. Greg -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steele, Gregory F Sent: Monday, February 02, 2004 13:17 To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Printer Configuration (printconf-gui) fails immediately after sta rtup - may be due to Samba installation - RHAS 2.1 I just tried to configure a printer under Advanced Server 2.1 via the GUI. The printer configuration dialogue box disappears immediately after opening. I successfully configured a printer with the GUI awhile ago. The only things I can think of that changed were: - I recently installed Samba - we upgraded to kernel version 2.4.9-e.24smp (I think from 2.4.9-e.21smp) I have another AS 2.1 box where the printer configuration works OK. The box where printconf fails has a /usr/local/lib/perl5 directory on it that doesn't exist on the box where it works. The failure seems to have something to do with that directory. Here is the error message that I get when I run "printconf-gui": ========================================================================= Can't locate Foomatic/Defaults.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/foomatic-configure line 13.
