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.

Copy my printing module to the folder modules of Porteus. For example /mnt/sdb1/porteus/modules
Reboot Porteus and then run system-config-printer.
If you use 32 bit, and can't run system-config-printer
please, open terminal and run these commands for install cups-2.1.4

donald, it's call to brokenman (about cups) Image

I replaced slackel-x86_64/hplip-3.16.9-x86_64-1dj.txz on the slackware64-current/slackware64/ap/hplip-3.16.9-x86_64-1.txz

07-printing-x86_64-17.11.2016.xzm 67.93 Mb (64 bit)

If all ok, I will do it for I586 (32 bit).

3.2 Cinnamon 64-bit

New version seems to have worked but no test page printed. It was able to configure my network printer once I manually put the IP address in and manually selected the brand and model, the config window showed 3 drivers for it and I chose the top one.

this sounds like cups will not be included in the stock porteus-iso.

Because cups is present in /var/log/packages/ or I'm wrong?
cups is only in kde and cinnamon. Probably best to include it in the printing module.

FYI - I happen to have Ubuntu Mate 15.10 on USB so I try that, works perfect.
Trouble seems to be that Porteus kernel not give me /dev/lp0 on this machine.
Rest of v3.2 works very nice for me. Great job!

Is there some major reason why cups is included in these desktop and not into the others?

Ed_P, can you try my 07-printing-x86_64-17.11.2016.xzm 67.93 Mb (64 bit) module in Always Fresh mode? Thanks.

donald, thanks for your report.

What is parallel backend? What is it for?

Probably, it's that do you mean https://pkgs.org/search/parallel (look at Slackware 14.2 section)

Agree with you, but need to exclude cups package from kde and cinnamon and include it in the printing module. What do you say about this decision?

So why not printing for kde, cinnamon. ... ... smaller packages for those two big ones, and bigger packages with cups for mate, xfce ...
Forget my suggestion, the less packages there will be, the simpler, KISS, KISS, KISS. 8)

Have you tried creating the file?

Code: Select all

modprobe lp
modprobe ppdev
modprobe parport_pc

@brokenman

I boot again and lp module not loaded, /dev/lp0 not there.
So, modprobe lp from console and lp loads, /dev/lp0 created. Good.
I don't know why it's not automatic.

Then, usm -g cups and check backends in /usr/lib/cups/backend
but parallel is not there. It was before but not now.

So, download and activate 07-printing... module,
OK, now parallel is there... ????

Try it,

root@porteus:~# /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel
direct parallel:/dev/lp0 "unknown" "LPT #1" "" ""

OK, that's good too.

Setup with system-config-printer, but won't print.

Try lpinfo -v,

root@porteus:~# lpinfo -v
network socket
network ipps
network ipp
network http
network https
network lpd
network smb

Should show up there, but it's not. Won't work. Don't know why.
Maybe something not right in usm cups package for this. :unknown:
