Idle - File "/usr/lib64/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.5.3" not available: No such file or directory
Within system-config-printer settings printer state I get the error:
Idle - File "/usr/lib64/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.5.3" not available: No such file or directory

Driver the PCL 6 work for me since our last interaction.

Bizarre! Could it be a corrupted save file?

seems yes

Post#19 by **francois** » 11 Mar 2023, 16:59

I will start anew from fresh.

Thanks.

Post#20 by **francois** » 14 Mar 2023, 15:07

Another error, is it me or is it a question of permissions to the files?
I have installed:
07-printing-x86_64-2023-02-24.xzm
I am running porteus 5.0 with no changes.

Good catch!

francois, do you use it as network scanner?

Yes:

Code: Select all

Slackware not prefer avahi - more info is here https://www.linuxquestions.org/question ... 175721614/
You can download avahi-0.8-x86_64-1gds.txz manualy and activate (xzm module and +):

Code: Select all

su
toor
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.avahi*

# Start avahidaemon
[ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon ] && /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon start &

# Start avahidnsconfd
[ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd ] && /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd start &

then test it again.

francois,
1) no success and network scanner not detected?
2) how do you install brother scanner manually (please describe the working scheme)?

Thanks.

Post#27 by **francois** » 26 Mar 2023, 13:21

There is something I do wrong for sure as I get the same error with porteus 4.x which was working perfectly until the save folder got corrupted.

Post#28 by **francois** » 28 Mar 2023, 19:15

I will work with vbox, this will be more efficient. Then I will come back.

Thanks.

Post#29 by **Blaze** » 22 Apr 2023, 20:08

Hi francois.
I updated my printing&scanning module.
Can you try a new version Printing and scanning for Porteus (Пост Blaze #93780) with your scanner?
Thanks.

Hello blaze, in without changes mode.
Same results:

With your module new printing module only. Do I need also 07-printing-lxde-lxqt-openbox-xfce-x86_64-2022-04-09? I have added it after installing the scanner as above.

Thanks.
