printing-3.2 for porteus 3.2

New features which should be implemented in Porteus; suggestions are welcome. All questions or problems with testing releases (alpha, beta, or rc) should go in their relevant thread here, rather than the Bug Reports section.

Brokenman said that you need to build over xfce. I was working from kde5 but now use xfce.

francois, need to test my module from xfce.

@brokenman
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?
1.0 I have removed 1), these were on ahau's 3.1 version and 2) libx*, you are right they are not necessary.
But qt3-3.3.8b-x86_64-5_slonly is the package provided by usm and available in in pkgs.org for slackware 13.2.

Once removed and without my genuine gimp-solibs from gimp only libraries the module goes down to 90,3 MB.

2.0 I am lookig for the procedure to strip the package to get it even less heavier. I found some threads on the question. It is the first time I really get into the strip business:
rava's method (mainly removing language stuff and removing licence, for personal stuff)
viewtopic.php?f=53&t=2373
fanthom method for lxqt (good ideas in there)
Creating my own Porteus !
tomas method for creating a module
http://old.slax.org/documentation_creat ... _rules.php

I realize that I have always built my personal modules the lazy way. :oops:

@blaze:

Your module works for my brother printer. However, simple-scan will not locate my printer scanner. and will not scan.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/opt/brother/scanner/brscan4# brsaneconfig4 -q | grep scanner
  0 scanner             "MFC-7860DW"        I:10.0.0.7
Comparison of missing packages in our modules.

In mine 07-printing-3.2 compared to yours there is additional packages :
dbus-python-1.2.4-x86_64-1
gd-2.2.1-x86_64-1
libgphoto2-2.5.10-x86_64-1
libieee1284-0.2.11-x86_64-3

pycairo-1.10.0-x86_64-1
pygtk-2.24.0-x86_64-2
python-2.7.11-x86_64-2

qt3-3.3.8b-x86_64-5_slonly (this seems to be unecessary in my module, is it because of pyqt?)


In yours 07-printing-x86_64 compared to mine there is additional packages :
exo-0.10.7-x86_64-1
ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11-noarch-1 (I am not sure this is really needed for upgraded cups, we will have to search)
qpdf-6.0.0-x86_64-1 (quite sure it is not needed with cups 2.1.4, which works completely with pdf,*** has to be checked out)

sane-1.0.25-x86_64-2 (*** this might be why scanner does not work, I will have to verify)


You have more recent packages than mine (so it seems better to pick up from pkgs.org than usm):
foomatic-filters-4.0.17-x86_64-1
hplip-3.16.8-x86_64-1dj
PyQt5-5.7-x86_64-1alien
simple-scan-3.20.0-x86_64-1jsc

This is what I did in the previous post. I used the two lists that you gave and then compared the them (your package and mine) and gave the result of the differences.

What I will do is use your module set of packages and then add and remove my extra packages until I get to scan with my brother printer. And provide the result. We will keep what will be left and testers will tell us if anything is missing. I will do that tonite.

Cheers! :beer:

This should be in the gimp-solibs of ahau. I will have to check that.

It might take until this thursday. At work there is a very busy schedule.

Today I tested Canon i-SENSYS MF3228 and HP Photo Scanner ScanJet G2710 with 07-printing-x86_64-18.10.2016.xzm

Both devices does not have drivers for Linux.

Image Image

Image
  • Canon i-SENSYS MF3228 - printer don't work (no driver)
  • Canon i-SENSYS MF3228 - scanning works perfect
  • HP Photo Scanner ScanJet G2710 - very slowly scans, plus did this incorrectly - example here
BTW, Internet via proxy server on the last version of Porteus works fine.

Better to throw these devices into trash and buy a new printers and scanners with support Linux.
