accessing a networked printer to a FreeBSD box

[dhaneshk k]

people,




I am trying to access a printer from our LAN to my FreeBSD Desktop PC

which package I needed to do  that ?   system-config-printer  right  ?

NOTE :I am not trying to attach a new printer to FreeBSD just want to access an already working printer in our LAN


I
installed   system-config-printer from ports , but whenever I tried
to     do   $system-config-printer    , one blank dialog window blinks
away , the in the tty I am getting this error ..


[bhagat at storm /usr/home/bhagat]$ system-config-printer
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 5272, in <module>
    main(configure_printer, change_ppd)
  File "/usr/local/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 5242, in main
    mainwindow = GUI(configure_printer, change_ppd)
  File "/usr/local/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 333, in __init__
    self.AboutDialog.set_program_name(domain)
AttributeError: 'gtk.AboutDialog' object has no attribute 'set_program_name'
[bhagat at storm /usr/home/bhagat]$ 


what
the exact issue ? what I made wrong ,   (I dont think I need CUPS to be
installed as I was not trying to attach a printer to this FreeBSD box) .



Here
I am attaching the system-config-printer.py file please help me fix the
issue   ( OR I have to install any other package than
system-config-printer ?) 


I thank you all in advance for any hints to fix it out .  struggling to fix this issue for the last couple of days ..

Any hints most Welcome

Dhanesh
