Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdeadmin-kde4

Opening Printer Configuration under System Settings I get this message:

The service 'Printer Configuration' does not provide an interface 'KCModule' with keyword 'system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-kde.py'The factory does not support creating components of the specified type.

In my ~/.xsession-errors this shows up:

The bug is present in the current kubuntu KDE 4.4 packages (I think since beta1, I just upgraded to 4.4 RC1 (PPA) and it's still there.)

I reopened this bug, I hope that's okay.

It's probably a different issue. Probably because kdebindings for KDE 4.4 isn't compilable at the moment. That should be sorted by the time KDE 4.4.0 is released.

Same problem with kubuntu Maverick daily build from two days ago.

kdeadmin 4:4.4.92-0ubuntu1

By the way, kubuntu Maverick doesn't seem to install kdeadmin by default. Installing it manually does not fix this bug, however.

I got similar difficulties in this machine, however I've got no problems in another one I installed Kubuntu. I just upgraded to Kubuntu Natty from Maverick.

The problems that are displayed when I execute systemsettings in the terminal are identical to the ones of Melendro. Here is the log:

I'm seeing this in Oneiric as well, and it was not related to the upgrade from Natty. Printing and printing configuration have been working fine in Oneiric until I added a new printer. After adding it, I started encountering this bug and can no longer open the printer configuration.

Addendum to comment 15: If I remove the newly added printer in CUPS, the printer configuration module starts to work again.

David Grossberg (davidgro) wrote :

I'm seeing the same as comment 15 on a *Fresh* Kubuntu Oneiric install, except that I have yet to find a way to remove the printer; I can see it in the http://localhost:631 interface, I just can't do anything with it at all. Next I'll see if I can find it mentioned in in /etc/

The printer I added is physically connected to another machine on my network and shared in cups via IPP, and the one I am trying to add it to is my laptop.
