I am hopping to get some help with a printing application problem.
When I go to System>Administration>Printing, I get nothing.
I have found several possible solutions, but these did not work for me.
First, from Ubuntu Bugs, following the URL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/210738
But Bug 210738, file 04/02/2008, doesn't fix my issue.
I did getting the following results by running 'system-config-printer' in a terminal:
tim@dell-desktop:~$ system-config-printer
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 104, in <module>
from GroupsPane import *
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/GroupsPane.py", line 21, in <module>
from GroupsPaneModel import *
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/GroupsPaneModel.py", line 19, in <module>
import libxml2
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/libxml2.py", line 1, in <module>
import libxml2mod
ImportError: /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/libxml2mod.so: symbol xmlFirstElementChild, version LIBXML2_2.7.3 not defined in file libxml2.so.2 with link time reference
tim@dell-desktop:~$
Next, Googling "not defined in file libxml2.so.2 with link time reference" yielded a link to Ubuntu Forums,
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1383483&page=1,
but this did not fix it either
At this point I ought to mention that I can print to my existing printers, but I wanted to add a new printer.
I have no idea when this problem occurred, maybe when I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.4 LTS (Hardy Heron) to Ubuntu 10.4 LTS, but I can't be sure.
To add the printer I followed this link http://localhost:631/printers/ and was able to add the new printer.
But, after all is said and done, I think the GUI should just work, especially if we want Ubuntu to be more ubiquitous on the desktop.
Could I get some help with this?
Thanks!
