Kyocera KX Printer drivers

I am working on getting two Kiosk computers set up with printers. The printers that I have are Kyocera Ecosys P2235dw printers that use the Kyocera KX universal printer driver. I have tried to set up a custom ISO with the drivers, but still cannot get it to work. Any chance on this being added soon?

Thanks

Hello lordcrash2000,

These drivers are proprietary and obviously are problematic.

I have reached as far as that:

After that the filter process eats 100% CPU.
Maybe some files are missing in kiosk or maybe this filter needs full bash package. Hard to guess ...

Anyway - I see no chance for them being added to kiosk system by default. Custom build is your only chance i believe.

Added in 12 hours 56 minutes 55 seconds:
I have tried simplified driver from following zip archive (name generated by Kyocera website):

Code: Select all

Linux_8.1606_EC...P2x35~40dnw.zip
and it seems to work ok. Does not even need a filter - just PPD.
Try it.

I downloaded these drivers and rolled up the correct one in the ISO. Problem is, I get to the enable printing selection on the Wizard and it just locks up. Sometimes the windows just comes up blank with no options. Sometimes I am able to select a driver and hit the print test page button, but it always locks up at that point in one way or another. If I get to select the printer and skip printing the test page, when I install it gets hung up on installing the printer module. I don't understand what is going on. This is a brand new system with 4gb of RAM. I have tried multiple systems and they all repeat the same issue. I have rebooted and restarted the Wizard countless times at this point. Not sure where to go at this point. I was hoping to get this straightened out soon. If there is anything you can help me with, that would be greatly appreciated.

I cant recreate your issue. Maybe its hardware specific.

Do you get the same problems when you use unmodified kiosk ISO?
If yes then please generate short debug log in the wizard and send it to support@porteus-kiosk.org.

Thanks

I just ran through the Wizard with the unmodified ISO. It again froze when trying to set up printers. I have forwarded the short log to the email address you specify above. Thank you for your help.
