CUPS: Ver. 1.3.8 works - 1.4.1 doesn't

<< < (3/3)

alu:
which version of cups 1.4.1 did you compile? i ask because it seems that only 1.4.1-4 unstable came out with the usb bug corrected (since it seems to be a bug); for the moment, i remain with cups 1.3.8 since it is not a big deal to set the path of cupsd right.

Juanito:
Thanks for the info - It was the official cups-1.4.1 - I think I'll wait until there is a finalised update before looking at this again.

alu:
i made a script for those who want to keep on using cups 1.3.8 (the older extension one) with tc/mc 2.4; the script replaces cups_start.sh default; the script set the right path for cupsd and prompt for root password; you can label it 'cups' and save it in your /home/tc, calling it with ./cups (for example):

#!/bin/sh
#
# Check if root password is set
# and prompt to set if not
#
if sudo grep "root:[$]1[$]EbR327ag[$]" /etc/shadow 2>&1 >/dev/null; then
     xterm -title "Set Root Password" -e sudo passwd
fi
#
# Check if cups is started
# and start/restart
#
if ! ps | grep cupsd; then
  sudo /usr/local/sbin/cupsd
fi
#
# Start cups browser interface
#
#exec /usr/local/bin/opera http://localhost:631 &
#
#EOF
