Building a bundle simple-scan & system-config-printer

Post#1 by Jack » 25 Sep 2016, 18:51

I'm trying to build my version of Simple-scan. I'm building it for Mate.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest/Downloads/printer-scanner/simple-scan-2.32.0.2# txz2dir *.txz temp

gegl-0.2.0-x86_64-3: GEGL Generic Graphics Library ..................... [2.8M]
ghostscript-9.19-x86_64-2: Postscript and PDF interpreter .............. [59M] 
gimp-2.8.18-x86_64-1_slack14.2: The GNU Image Manipulation Program ..... [69M] 
libieee1284-0.2.11-x86_64-3: parallel port library ..................... [340K]
libwmf-0.2.8.4-x86_64-6: WMF graphics format library ................... [1.6M]
net-snmp-5.7.3-x86_64-3: Simple Network Management Protocol tools ...... [7.0M]
sane-1.0.25-x86_64-2: Scanner Access Now Easy .......................... [16M] 
simple-scan-2.32.0.2-x86_64-1_slonly: simple scanning utility .......... [1.1M]
chroot: failed to run command 'gconftool-2': No such file or directory
root@porteus:/home/guest/Downloads/printer-scanner/simple-scan-2.32.0.2# 
Here is what I got when building chroot: failed to run command 'gconftool-2': No such file or directory What cause this ERROR?

I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

When I built system-config-printer as a bundle here is the output. I'm building it for Mate.

Now all I need is a printer to test it. It is called system-config-printer-1.3.13-x86_64-2-bundle.xzm.

root@porteus:/home/guest# grep gconftool-2 /var/log/packages/*
/var/log/packages/GConf-3.2.6-x86_64-3:usr/bin/gconftool-2
/var/log/packages/GConf-3.2.6-x86_64-3:usr/man/man1/gconftool-2.1.gz

This shows that the missing commands come from the package GConf. Make sure you have it. The GUI image you showed says that the printing service is not started. This means you will need to manually start cups.

Code: Select all

chmod +x /etc/rc.d.rc.cups
/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start

And GConf-3.2.6-x86_64-3 was there.
I haven't try the below yet I have no printer yet.

How are you doing with your package?

According to my work here are the minimum set of packages to get simple-scan and system-config going on:
simple scan
colord-1.2.12-x86_64-1gv.txz
dconf-0.24.0-x86_64-1.txz
gtk+3-3.18.9-x86_64-1.txz
libgusb-0.2.8-x86_64-1gv.txz
sane-1.0.25-x86_64-2.txz
simple-scan-2.32.0.2-x86_64-2gv.txz

system-config-printer
system-config-printer-1.3.13-x86_64-2.txz
-bus-python = dbus-python-1.1.0-x86_64-1.txz
-foomatic-filters = foomatic-filters-4.0.12-x86_64-1.txz
-ghostscript = ghostscript-9.05-x86_64-3.txz
-notify-python = notify-python-0.1.1-x86_64-3.txz
-pycairo = pycairo-1.8.10-x86_64-2.txz
-pycups in pycairo= pycups-1.9.61-x86_64-1.txz
-pycurl = pycurl-7.19.0-x86_64-2.txz
-pygobject in pycairo= pygobject-2.28.6-x86_64-2.txz
-pygtk in pycairo = pygtk-2.24.0-x86_64-1.txz
-python in pycairo = python-2.7.3-x86_64-2.txz
-gutenprint = gutenprint-5.2.9-x86_64-1.txz

@francois,

I got simple scan to work but system-config-printer I never got to try. I have no printer. Simple-scan work great I have a stand alone Scanner.

Would you please test my printing module. This way we could see if I miss some package of library. This might be helpful to blaze.

Thanks.

Where can we get your bundle? Blaze might have a try for his scanner HP Officejet Pro 8600:

Here is my 2 bundles. I tested in Mate simple-scan but didn't test system-config-printer have no printer. If system-config-printer don't work maybe someone can fix it. I use USM to build them so there is no EXTRA files. I did the best I could do on this idea.

simple-scan-x86_64-bundle
http://www.mediafire.com/file/5tmgt77x3 ... bundle.xzm
e8882baa587ff6ab3231d8e1fe258f48 simple-scan-x86_64-bundle.xzm

system-config-printer-x86_64-bundle

ac650dcd81289c5a2d1e401150e76f54 system-config-printer-x86_64-bundle.xzm
EDIT:
I have another problem I just check my scanner and now Simple-scan don't work. A few months back I added a Webcam. Now when I run Simple-scan it is using the Webcam as a scanner it takes a picture from the Webcam and the Scanner dose not work it is like it is dead.

For me I guest I will live with out a printer and scanner or hope someone can get it to work.

This is not a problem. In simple scan in the menu there is an option to select the right device. If not, this might mean that your scanner is off.
