CUPS: Ver. 1.3.8 works - 1.4.1 doesn't

(1/3) > >>

Multitudes:
After many searches here on the forum and (most of the rest of) internet I am unable to figure out my problem and need a little help.

I'm running TC 2.3.1 only with kmaps and Opera mounted during startup. After startup I mount Beaver, Emelfm, wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore, wireless_tools and wl.

If I load cups.tcel (ver. 1.3.8) locally printing works fine on my network attached hp laserjet 1300n (socket connection).
I can print a test page from CUPS, a file from terminal and a file from beaver.

If I mount cups.tczl (ver. 1.4.1) it doesn't work:
If I try to print a test page from CUPS I get an error saying "Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-banner'!".
The job list is empty.
If I try to print a file from terminal lpd responds "lp: successful -ok" but the job list shows that the job was cancelled immediately after it was created.
If I try to print a file from Beaver it is also cancelled.

CUPS error_log:

I'll be more whan willing to supply additional information in case anyone of you have a clue.

Thanks in advance!

You're right. CUPS 1.4 in the tczl package is broken several ways.  You are best to stick with 1.3.8.

Multitudes:
Too bad.
I read that tce(l) will be phased out in the upcoming TC 2.4.

I converted the CUPS 1.3.8 tce package to a tcz and installed it in TC 2.4rc4. It works fine.

.

A bit of searching led to a few such CUPS related errors, all posted after recent upgrades (mostly since April). The solutions varied... I did the following to get it to work:
Open /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
Add the line "ServerAlias *"
Add the line "Port 631"
Add the line "Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock"
Save the file and restart cups ("/etc/init.d/cups restart").

If that works, maybe it should be added to the extension.
