[SOLVED] CUPS Testing - 4.2.1 RC2
[SOLVED] CUPS Testing - 4.2.1 RC2
CUPS 1.3.10 looks basically sound. Here are some specifics.
1. The hpijs-2.8.2_static_1.pet (a previously downloaded copy) still needs the -U patch on /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip. After that, it works.
2. The hpijs-3.9.4-dynppds.pet with dynamic HPIJS PPDs from here works as is.
3. Printers like the HP 720C that use the pnm2ppa filter need a modification. The file pnm2ppa must be moved from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin. (Thank you to Wosh for identifying the problem.) This is because the new version of foomatic-rip in Puppy 4.2 uses a different search path.
4. Printers like the HP 1020 that use the foo2zjs filter work as is.
5. Based on limited testing, HPLIP devices can be made to work using the method described here.
6. Printers like the Xerox Phaser that use the splix package also work.
7. Both printers discussed here install correctly.

Because of a bug in the cups_shell script, all Gutenprint models are duplicated in the printer list. In /usr/sbin/cups_shell, the line
can be commented out.
Read the discussion about dynamic PPDs here.
This change also eliminates the confusing pause that occurs after the purple information screen when running the CUPS Wizard.
Code: Select all
cups-genppd.5.2

Corrected for next release. Regressed CUPS-1.3.10-i486 package was missing a couple of links.rcrsn51 wrote:The folder /usr/lib/cups/backend is missing the smb symlink needed to connect to a Windows shared printer via Samba.

Odd, because the version of CUPS supplied in 4.2.1 doesn't appear to have cups_shell in that directory. Never mind ... found it in 0rootfs_skeleton-4.2.1 for some reason. Fixed for next release.rcrsn51 wrote:Because of a bug in the cups_shell script, all Gutenprint models are duplicated in the printer list.

Seems ok using the copy I have here. Maybe the version uploaded was corrupted in the process. It will be re-uploaded shortly.DaveS wrote:WhoDo............. for some strange reason the Hpjis patched pet in the official 4 repo refuses to install.

Now installs perfectly thanks. Printing proving solid and fast so far in this version, even with my wifi connected HP PS4380, which can be a devil at times.WhoDo wrote:Seems ok using the copy I have here.
