system-config-printer doesn't start

[sm8ps]

Hope it is okay to revive a dormant thread! I am at the same point as Onyarian. After loading printer-driver-gutenprint and system-config-printer-gnome, I get the following:

Code: [Select]

$ system-config-printer
ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for Gdk
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 32, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Gdk
ImportError: cannot import name Gdk
I installed python-gtk2 to no avail.
Since it seemed to play a role in this thread:

Code: [Select]

Progress made after a lot of fruitless searching: it seems that gir1.2-gtk-3.0 is needed. Can somebody verify? (Onyarian?)
The following DBus-related error message seems harmless but may need additional attention when it comes to saving credentials on network printers.

Code: [Select]

** (system-config-printer.py:29303): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

I just removed those dependencies from system-config-printer since you said in another thread the package does not exist.  How did you import it?

[sm8ps]

Thanks for checking back, Jason! The package is system-config-printer-gnome which imports fine. The remark about the package system-config-printer was simply to point out the issue but it was not an obstacle.

[Jason W]

Ok, the dep gir1.2-gtk-3.0 has been added back to system-config-printer.

[sm8ps]

I am a bit confused about the difference between system-config-printer{-gnome}. Nevertheless, would you please add gir1.2-gtk-3.0 as dependency of system-config-printer-gnome? At present only the following packages get included.

Code: [Select]

gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0
gir1.2-glib-2.0
gir1.2-notify-0.7
gir1.2-packagekitglib-1.0


[Jason W]

Ok, added.
