What do you mean by "deselected" - if you had both cups extensions (cups + cups1311) loaded, you would need to ensure that one of them is not "onboot", reboot and then check only one of them is loaded.

As mentioned - entering "sudo passwd" in a terminal window will allow you to set the root password.


--- Quote ---I tried using /dev/usb/lp0 for the location.

--- End quote ---

This will not work - it needs to be analogous to "usb://samsung/printer_name_blah_blah"

I would guess this is a result of having the cups and cups1311 extensions loaded along with libcups..

Yes, I made sure that only CUPS 1311 is selected in the onboot menu.
CUPS still appears on the left hand side in the Apps Control (sorry I am not in TC right now and forget the correct name of the program where you manage the applications) program, but in in the On Boot side (it isn't in the On Demand side either).

If I need to remove/uninstall CUPS, could you please tell me how to do so.
I am used to using Synaptic or APT and find that TC is very different.

Juanito:
Perhaps the surest way to check what's loaded is to look for the folders:

/tmp/tcloop/cups
/tmp/tcloop/cups1311

This is where the extensions are loaded - if only the /tmp/tcloop/cups1311 folder is present, then only this one is loaded.

If you only see cups1311 in the onboot section of appsaudit, this should be OK. If you see both cups and cups1311 in /tmp/tcloop, then you need to reboot to get rid of the cups extension and cups1311 will be reloaded "onboot"

hi Neo

Juanito  is the expert here but....can I make it obvious that if you are asked for a root  password.....you have not set up cups1311 correctly.

The whole purpose of me using cups1311 was to avoid setting up a root password to then use with (non-cups1311 or normal cups)

If you prefer normal cups do this pls


--- Code: ---sudo su
passwd
(enter a new password for root)
(you are likely to enter it twice
--- End code ---

then add etc/passwd to your filetool.lst

I will try to get around to a normal cups  wiki  but I plan on updating for alsaconf which now works for me in a different wiki.


2) its the file mentioned in the right hand pane that we care about

so RH list is either cups or cups133 but not both ok?

gerald_clark:
You will also need to add etc/shadow to .filetool.lst , as that is where the password is actually stored.
