SOLVED: CUPS and 64 bit porteus 2.0
Posted: 09 Mar 2013, 02:13
I have been up to now printing mainly with porteus 32 bit os. Thus its only recently that I have tried to install some printers on 64 bit. Trying to install a printer with the 64 bit drivers on porteus linux 2.0 with the appropriate drivers, I was never able to set it up properly with the gutenprint-ghostscript method:

Today working on another interface than CUPS, config-system-printer package, I realised that there might be something wrong with the CUPS package installed when I worked with Quax slax 7 printer package. When I used the cups package included in Quax's package that resolved my problem installing a printer under 64 bit porteus version, see:

I have the impression that there is something wrong with the CUPS package that we use on porteus. It might be only a small difference into some file of porteus CUPS package of porteus.
Is there other persons having the same problems as I did installing a printer on porteus 64 bit?
Here is the Quax cups package that I used:

The error was repeatedly found booting from the basic system. Modules were activated only once the os was booted up.
