Title: CUPS in *core 4x
Post by: giac_fab on October 22, 2011, 09:13:45 AM

Hi
In appbrowser there is gutenprint that is compatible only with cups 1311
But cups 1311 was removed from repository

What makes you say that?

Version:        5.2.4
Change-log:     2009/08/30 - first version
                2009/10/07 - updated for CUPS 1.3.11
Current:        2011/10/09 - adjusted permissions (juanito)

Only if I use cups1311 (from 3.x repository)  my printer works. If I use the only cups present in 4.x repository ( 1.4.8 I think ) my printer doesen't work. 
Is it only a coincidence ?

I adjusted the permissions in the gutenprint extension for another user who reported that it worked with the cups extension.

What error messages do you see when you set the log level to debug in cupsd.conf and try to print?

The error looks to be here:

Code: [Select]

D [23/Oct/2011:10:30:54 +0000] Print-Job client-error-document-format-not-supported: Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-banner'!
E [23/Oct/2011:10:30:54 +0000] Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Print-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/EPSON_Stylus_SX100) from localhost
This error usually happens if ghostscript is missing

Hi Juanito
The   cups1311.tcz   extension lists   gs.tcz   as a dependency while   cups.tcz   does not.

this is my own working cups dependency-list:
cups.tcz
ghostscript_common.tcz
ghostscript.tcz
foomatic-rip.tcz
gutenprint.tcz

i guess that gs is a dependency for cups1311
and ghostscript is a dependency for cups?
i experienced some problems, when i mixed them....

yes @Juanito ... That error shows up also in localhost:631 with browser

When I tried with "cups.tcz" ( 3.x ) and my printer didn't work I saw

Change-log:     2009/08/30 - first version
                            2009/10/07 - updated for CUPS 1.3.11
Current:        2011/10/09 - adjusted permissions (juanito)

So I tried cups1311.... all OK 

I tried with 2 different PC ( so no currupted tcz ) , I tried both with tc 3.x and 4.x

Boh !

The   cups1311.tcz   extension lists   gs.tcz   as a dependency while   cups.tcz   does not.

With all the various ways of using cups, I don't believe that ghostscript is always a dep, hence I did not list it.

gs was what I called the ghostscript extension a while back.

+1 for having to load ghostscript.tcz & ghostscript-common.tcz to get CUPS to work in TC4.

I have a FujiXerox C1110b printer & it required the additional extensions.

I've edited the Wiki page on cups & started a list of printers that require additional extensions:

I also to use my printer charge 2 extension:
ghostscript_common.tcz hplip_sane-2.7.tcz (contain cups and ghostscript.tcz as dependency).
I do not remember why but it all works

I have same problem, with cups and my printer Epson Stylus Photo R230, but by adding ghostscript_common.tcz and ghostscript.tcz .
Now my printer is working, i can print from iron web browser and opera11 SCM.
