printing-3.2 for porteus 3.2
Please test the following package:
As of the 21rst of november 2016. Packages built-up by blaze:
07-printing-i586-21.11.2016.xzm
07-printing-x86_64-21.11.2016.xzm
1.0 Functionality.
It should work as is, but if your printer is not there start a new link in the development section. with the model of your printer or scanner. This will facilitate the troubleshooting of your device, printer or scanner.
The exception being the KDE5 plasma desktop which will require additional packages according to blaze:
python-2.7.11-x86_64-2.txz, pygtk-2.24.0-x86_64-2.txz and dbus-python-1.2.4-x86_64-1.txz
Other methods for installing your device, if your driver is not included. You do need the printing module for the interface of CUPS, system-config-printer or simple-scan:
2.1 Use the generic drivers. Try them or find a reference of a generic driver for your printer. For most recent printers PCL laser seems to work.
2.1 the ppd method:
Printing under Porteus: summary of problems and solutions
2.3 with the openprinting drivers:
http://www.openprinting.org/printers
TABLE OF WORKING PRINTERS AND DEVICES WITH printing-3.2 MODULE
make model printer scanner additonal note
Brother MFC 7860-DW yes yes scanner installed with brother special procedure viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1336
Brother DCP-7020 yes no
HP Officejet Pro 8600 yes ?
Knows bugs:
Feedback more than appreciated.
Thanks.

Epson Perfection 1270 scanner does not work for me.
I copied firmware esfw3e.bin from Epson Perfection 1270 to /usr/share/sane/snapscan
Opened /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf
found
replace with
according to a command
I received this
and I added this to the end of the /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf file
I turn off and poweron my scanner and checked status of scanner via command

Seems all ok.
I tried to run simple-scan, but I don't have success in it.

Re: printing-3.2-lite for porteus 3.2
@blaze:
Do you have printing-3.2-lite module and printing-3.2-lite-drivers module (additional drivers from ahau)? I have the impression that in this last module was the place where he tweaked scanners.
Maybe:
http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=18403
and/or
panel menu > graphic > simple scan
Then set the preferences to your scanner the epson before scanning
Are you able to print?

Simple scan won't work it looking for this. I'm using Mate x86_64 rc5.
Can't check printer cause I don't have any.

Re: printing-3.2-lite for porteus 3.2
@jack:
Minimally, you need a scanner or printer/scanner and its driver to test it.
My brother printer MFC 7860-dw scanning function works fine. But I was not able to set a brother DCP-7020.

I do have a stand alone scanner. It meant there was libieee1284.so.3 missing. I will try and see what else is missing.francois wrote:@jack:

Re: printing-3.2-lite for porteus 3.2
@jack:
printing-3.2-lite-drivers should contain libieee1284
Did you try printing-3.2-lite-drivers module? If so, please continue your research.
Where you able to scan with ahau`s 07-printing.xzm from porteus 3.1? It should work under porteus 3.2, but cups is an older version.

Re: printing-3.2-lite for porteus 3.2
I need to update my prior reply.
Manage printers
And this is without the drivers-lite module.
In downloading the driver lite module I noticed the date on the print module was newer so I redownloaded it also.
But....
In adding the printer the Add Printer page lists many models but doesn't list the model I have.

Re: printing-3.2-lite for porteus 3.2
@Ed:
I would say that hplip alone should do it:
but the printing-3.2-lite-drivers module includes hplip if you prefer, its just loaded with a lot of other drivers. I would appreciate that you try both solutions and report.
You can try cups, but also print settings (system-config-printer).
Thanks.
