CUPS printing - installation script - update 13SEP06

[pakt]

I did download the files for slack 10.1 at the suggestion of another forum member and edited cups-install.sh but I cannt seem to get anything to print to my remote printer.

Buteman, how is your printer connected? Are you using a printer server or is the printer on another PC?

Do you get an error message when you click 'Print Test Page' in the CUPS web interface? (Please check 'Printer State' for the printer in the CUPS web interface after you try to print)

running the printer wizard gives no option for remote printer uuse either.

As it is a completely new script, I thought I would start out by limiting the choices to either a parallel or USB printer. I'm hoping to add support for the different forms of network printing by using feedback from Puppy users who have successfully installed a network printer on their own.

What advantage is there to the newer version of espgs?

I must assume that bugfixes and improvements have been made to ESP-Ghostscript or Slackware wouldn't have updated the file.

You might also give the user a choice to load hpijs or not. Most non-hp printers don't need it. It's is taken care of in gimp-print.

This is a choice I had to make between adding the extra files to Puppy and keeping the user interface simple. An observation I had made from the CUPS threads on the Puppy forum was that although rarsa had divided his CUPS installation into three scripts in order to let the user choose which files to install, the general advice on the forum was to install all three.

I installed the 3 app printing combo on 1.09,2.01,Optimized and 2.02 and it did not require doing anything with the perl libs as they were delivered on the iso's.

The script does some simple checking to see if perl is present and if it is, to check if one of the missing perl modules in Puppy 2.x is present. If one of the tests fail, the script exits with a message on how to add perl.

Hmm, it would actually be enough to just test for the missing perl modules - I can remove the other test...

[pakt]

I finally tracked down this chart at
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_ ... t_aio.html
which allowed me to find which ppd to use (in my case DJ3320)
I believe the chart should work for all HP All In One's not already listed in the Cups configuration.

Useful link, Billwho? Thanks.
I'll put a reference to HP's 'All Supported Devices' page: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_ ... bined.html in my instructions. Like you pointed out, looking up an HP printer model will show the 'Printer Class'. Use this as the 'Model' name in the CUPS web interface.

I hope one day to get scanning as well as printing to work with the hplip driver from source, but this has turned out to be a long term project for me (I started in 1.0.8 and am still trying). If I ever succeed I will let you know

Yes, please do.

Pearl:/ devx_200.sfs renamed as devx_201.sfs on hda5 beside pup_save.3fs

devx_20x.sfs is a simple alternative to adding the missing perl modules. The only drawback is that (if you don't need the development tools) it is much bigger than just adding the missing perl modules (75K).

[pakt]

It seems the script has worked for most of you so far. That's great! Thanks for the feedback. Please keep it coming!

If all goes well, I will try to make a wizard out of the current script.

As I wrote in another post, it may be a good idea to copy the Slackware CUPS files to the pupget-packages repository along with the other Puppy tar.gz files and have the script download them from there. Any drawbacks to that idea?

Hi Pakt,
Thank to yours instruction 'howto install cups...'
I'd followed your instructions and I'd gotten the message of CUPS Web. Some messages come:
.....
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs
Device URI: parallel: de/lp0

I think that I'd installed succesfully my printer. But I could'n print the Test page?

Please give some more instructions.

I just wanted to report that the script worked fine for me. I have a Canon Pixma ip4000, which is not one of the supported printers, but I tried the Canon s800 driver as some online forums have suggested and it worked! (I haven't tried it out much & I assume some functionality is lost, but a handful of tests showed ok for daily use.)

By the way, the s800 driver solution didn't work in Mandrake 10.0--and even the Gutenberg driver included for the ip4000 in Mandriva 2006 required a lot of tweaking to get it to work with some things still broken, and I couldn't get Canon's own drivers to work at all. So this was a very happy experience. Thanks for all the work--that CUPS thread looked very daunting for novices.

My printer is an HP PSC1205 connected by usb to my main PC running Mandriva2006 kernel 2.6.12-18mdk printing via cups using the HP1205 ppd file.
Cups on the laptop does see the printer and it is set as the default printer.
No error messages but looking at the Jobs in cups it is just sat there 'pending since ....' ( whenever I try it).
What I am not sure of is which choice I make when I choose how to set it up from cups web interface to talk to the printer. There are a number of choices
eg ipp http etc.
Anyone any ideas please,
tia,

vanchutr, you will need to give us more information. What printer are you using? Which Puppy version? I'm assuming it is a parallel port printer connected to your PC.

Here is a quote I saved from a post rarsa wrote. Maybe it can help:

When I've printed to network printers with CUPS, I haven't had to install the driver on the client computer. I've just installed cups, started the cups configuration page and I'm able to see the networked printers.

[Buteman]

Hi,
Further checking has shown that printing works from seamonkey if I choose the correct printer from the list presented but does not work from abiword, leafpad etc.
Still puzzeled.

Dear Pakt;
I'd installer successfully the CUPS by your instructions.
But I could'nt print the test page.
I use the EPSON EPL 5800L connected in parallel port.
Your instructions about 'how to install the CUPS with printer on parallel port or USB port' is very clear and easy to understand. Thank you.
I use the version Puppy 2.01 (installed on HDD)

I have yet to try this script out, but I did use Rarsa's scripts to get CUPS up and running. I thought I had the same problem that you had, but as it turns out all I had to do was click print in Abi Word, leafpad etc... I was tricked into thinking that it wouldn't work, because when I would use the file pull down menu to select print, then look for my printer in the list of available printer it wasn't there. Since I couldn't select my printer I assumed it wouldn't work, but then someone pointed out all I needed to do was click print anyway, and then CUPS would filter it and print it with the default CUPS printer.
I hope this solves your problem, but I still don't have any idea why some programs will let me select which printer I want to use and other I have to print on the CUPS default printer, and the only way to change printers is to change the CUPS default printer in the html interface tool. Perhaps that is the subject of another thread though.
Good luck,
-Jason

I would like to test this new install script over an IrDA port. I haven't been able get this working with the files from Slackware 10.1, but who knows this is 10.2 now right. I have a HP DeskJet 450 I have been able to get it working over USB and Parallel with the script Rarsa provided, I was wondering if I should uninstall the current version of CUPS installed before I run your script or will it simply overwrite any necessary files?

vanchutr, could you attach your cups error log to a post?

Pack the error log file:

# tar -czf errorlog.tar.gz /var/log/cups/error_log

Then attach file errorlog.tar.gz to a new forum post so we can examine it.

Ok, I think I have at least a partial answer. I've connected my parallel port printer to a second PC running Puppy 2.02 in my network. Then from my first PC running Puppy 1.07 with CUPS installed (and normally printing through a wireless gateway printer server), I open AbiWord with a text document, click on File -> Print... -> 'Location: Custom' I changed 'lpr' to 'lp -d HL1030@192.168.0.191' (the name I gave my printer@the IP-address of the second PC). The text file printed successfully!

(See attached image)

EDIT: This also worked from GSview

Hope this works for you.

Actually the only file that was updated between 10.1 and 10.2 was espgs-xxx. I then added gimp-print-xxx, so running my script *should* just update & add to your original files. You might make a backup first just to be on the safe side.

Please let us know if you get IrDA printing to work, and if so, how you did it

Dear Pakt
I provide some informations with after my installation Epson 5800L Printer.

In consol (Terminal) I lauch the command:
# lp testfile.txt
ang got the message:
request id is Epson-EPL-5800L-epl5800l-4 (1 file(s))
But nothing comes into my Printer.

# lp stat -p-d
that give:
printer Epson-EPL-5800L-epl5800l is idle, enable since Jan 01:00:00 system default destination: EpsonEPL-5800L-epl5800l

# lp -d Epson-EPL-5800L-epl5800l -0 testfile.txt
that give:
lp: unable to print file: client-error-not-found

Do that mean: I'd installed succesfully my Epson Printer?
I trap what error that don't allowed me to print with my Printer?
(Sorry about my bad english)
Thank a lots

vanchutr, thanks for the file, but please just attach it to the post next time - don't print it out. It takes too much space!

You need to change the detail level of the log file. Please do the following:

1. Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and change the line that says "LogLevel info" to "LogLevel debug" and save the file.

2. Delete /var/log/cups/error_log

3. Re-start CUPS:

# /etc/rc.d/rc.cups start

4. Now try to print again, then pack the new error log file:

# tar -czf errorlog.tar.gz /var/log/cups/error_log

and attach file errorlog.tar.gz to a new forum post. Don't print it out!

Dear Pakt,
I send to you the /var/log/cups/error_log (attached .gz file)
