@Ed
No need for printing-lite modules with 07-printing.xzm
http://localhost:631/admin/
could be used instead of
http://localhost:631/printers/
@blaze
Thanks for the tip for the menu change of the cups application.

At the start menu of Porteus Desktop Environment open 'Manage Printing' and check url in your browser.
I have made the changes and they work. I would now like to make a backup of them but for some reason it isn't working, even with the script running as root.

It is best to get into the habit of using "" around your paths.

Ok. Thanks
brokenman..
The solution to my problem ended up being my guessing at the name of the file.
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ mkdir /tmp/mod/
guest@porteus:~$ cp -a --parents "/usr/share/applications/Manage*Printing" "/tmp/mod/"
cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/applications/Manage*Printing': No such file or directory
guest@porteus:~$ cp -a --parents /usr/share/applications/cup* /tmp/mod/
guest@porteus:~$ ls /tmp/mod/usr/share/applications/
cups.desktop
guest@porteus:~$
Do not understand why the file name shown in Nemo could not be found in Terminal.

New version of printing module has been released. See in first post for the download. Instructions have been upgraded.
@jack:
Simple scan should work for you now.
@kocickamia:
I am not forgetting you. As soon as I get the printer module troubleshooted for the 64bit edition, you will get your 32bit copy.
Thanks for testing with your scanners or printers.

Blazed proposed to upgrade simple-scan:
https://pkgs.org/slackware-14.2/johanne ... c.txz.html
It will be included int the next revision of the module.

It appears to be working with my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer when using FireFox 50.0b5 on my 64-bit Cinnamon system.
Why is it 50MB larger than the normal 07-printing.xzm module, which also works on my system?
Also why no note at the bottom of the 1st post indicating it has been updated.

Good job Francois. Some questions/observations.
1)
You can remove the following:
GConf-3.2.6-x86_64-3
gtk+3-3.18.9-x86_64-1
These packages are in all desktops by default.
2)
libxfce4ui-4.12.1-x86_64-2
libxfce4util-4.12.1-x86_64-2
qt3-3.3.8b-x86_64-5_slonly (seems very old)
Why are these packages present?

@Ed:
How is the scanner function doing.
I realized that the size was kind of overweight too. But I wanted to put more in there than not enough.
@brokenman:
I will remove all revise these packages which seem too old and remove the packages as they are in excess.
Maybe the gimp-solibs are not necessary too.
Thanks for testing and for commenting.

I have done my version of printing-3.2 module for porteus 3.2 x86_64
07-printing-x86_64.xzm
glade3
does not need and probably gimp-solibs too.
Double packages
Code: Select all
colord, cups, dbus-python, garcon, gd-2.2.1, libgphoto2-2.5.10, libgusb-0.2.9, libieee1284-0.2.11, poppler-0.45.0, pycairo-1.10.0, pygtk-2.24.0, python-2.7.11, sane-1.0.25, v4l-utils-1.10.0
I think that the module requires a more detailed audit
Content:
Plus
Code: Select all
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups-browsed
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.snmpd
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups

It appears to be working. Nice job
francois.
Your 52MB module appears to be working also
Blaze.
But somehow it seems to have caused my 3.2rc5 Cinammon system to loose it's xterminal link in the taskbar.

@blaze
What do you mean? You have some suggestions for changes. Personally, I got most packages from usm.
I will be home from France back to Canada today. The printers are there. I will be more at ease to test things, and to compare our reclaim jobs.
I do not mind that we go for your version.

francois, I mean unnecessary (excessive) dependencies. Some packages does not need. USM can grab extra packages but they are not required.
But somehow it seems to have caused my 3.2rc5 Cinammon system to loose it's xterminal link in the taskbar.
I don't repeat this with my 07-printing-x86_64.xzm module in Always Fresh mode.
