Fedora 11 is finally out. The bad news is that there are several known issues (well, known now) with printing. Unfortunately I was tied up with PDF-related security fixes for several months and did not have the time I wanted to spend on polishing Fedora 11.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For me the most annoying problem is that the printing troubleshooter does not work in Fedora 11 as shipped. This is fixed in the test update for system-config-printer<\/a>. Using the troubleshooter can be very valuable when tracking down problems, but most especially when reporting printing bugs. Please install the update and try the troubleshooter (Help->Administration from the system-config-printer window) before reporting bugs. This updates system-config-printer to 1.1.8, released on Thursday<\/a>, which has lots of fixes.<\/p>\n

The other test update I’ve pushed in the last week is for cups. Fedora 11 was released with beta 3 of CUPS 1.4. The current upstream version is 1.4rc1, and there is a test update for that<\/a> out now. Please try it out if you are having problems with printing. I will update it to 1.4.0 when it is released.<\/p>\n

I am slowly working my way through the backlog of bugs that have been reported, both in Bugzilla and on mailing lists. Please be patient!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
