Problems remastering CUPS
« on: June 11, 2009, 04:53:53 PM »
I'm trying to remaster tcl so that cups AND my printer are in 'cloud' mode, ie. I can boot up and everything is good to go without me having to do anything.

I believe I have to have the following (configured) files installed in the remaster:

/etc/cups/printers.conf
/etc/cups/ppd/HP-LaserJet_1018.ppd

but I must need to do something else because if I remaster with the above I can't even print a test page.  If I use a normal tcl install + tces and manually set up the printer (via Opera pointed to http://localhost:631) then everything works.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and what I need to do?

I don't know exactly what you have done.

You need to add /usr/local/bin/cups_start.sh to /opt/bootlocal.sh to start cups.

There may be other files in etc/cups which you need to include. I just included all of etc/cups, and didn't work out which files could be left out.

I did not remaster.

Here is what I did.

Many people see what is. Some people see what can be, and make a difference.

Thx 4 the response but the problem turned out to be that I didn't copy over the /etc/printers.conf file.  Once I did that, everything now works as it should.
