printing-3.2 for porteus 3.2

[francois]

I fully agree. Test it, and return the thing if it is not linux compatible. 8)

@blaze and brokenman:
1.0 Problem under kde5 last edition of porteus 3.2, this is not the case under xfce desktop:
Cups server is not started, needs:

Code: Select all

cupsd

I think that something in the kde5 desktop erases the cupsd command of the print package. Personallyprinters, I was not able to solve the issue.

It is a shame that we do not have more testers. So the big work will come at the issue of final. 8)

2.0 Non compatible printers.
Maybe we should make a linux blacklist of printers make an models.

On October 28, 2016, the team behind the HPLIP (HP Linux Imaging & Printing) project, an HP-developed solution for providing up-to-date drivers for HP Inkjet and Laser-based printers to GNU/Linux distributions was updated to version 3.16.10.

dbus-python 1.2.4 maybe you need this.... blaze install sbopkg and you have a rsync of the sbo repository locally in /var/lib and you have an easy way to check packages you need.btw usm is the best but you have to know the name of packages that you have to install.

[Blaze]

beny, I know about /var/log/packages/

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ find /var/log/packages/ -iname *python*
/var/log/packages/notify-python-0.1.1-x86_64-5

/var/log/packages/python-setuptools-22.0.5-x86_64-1
guest@porteus:~$

In the base of kde 5 desktop environment need to add these packages:

Code: Select all

python-2.7.11-x86_64-2.txz + deps
tcl-8.6.5-x86_64-2.txz
tk-8.6.5-x86_64-2.txz

pygtk-2.24.0-x86_64-2.txz + dep
pycairo-1.10.0-x86_64-1.txz 

dbus-python-1.2.4-x86_64-1.txz (thanks to beny)

[francois]

My list for system-config-printer for 3.1:
-system-config-printer-1.3.13-x86_64-2.txz
-dbus-python-1.1.0-x86_64-1.txz
-foomatic-filters-4.0.12-x86_64-1.txz
-ghostscript-9.05-x86_64-3.txz
-notify-python-0.1.1-x86_64-3.txz
-pycairo-1.8.10-x86_64-2.txz
-pycups-1.9.61-x86_64-1.txz
-pycurl-7.19.0-x86_64-2.txz
-pygobject-2.28.6-x86_64-2.txz
-pygtk-2.24.0-x86_64-1.txz
-python-2.7.3-x86_64-2.txz
-gutenprint-5.2.9-x86_64-1.txz

Though demanded, are not necessary:
tcl-8.6.5-x86_64-2.txz [2740K] [not installed]
tk-8.6.5-x86_64-2.txz [1708K] [not installed]

But maybe a few are not necessary.

[Blaze]

francois, probably these pakages

Code: Select all

tcl-8.6.5-x86_64-2.txz
tk-8.6.5-x86_64-2.txz
pycairo-1.10.0-x86_64-1.txz

does not need.

But python-2.7.11-x86_64-2.txz, pygtk-2.24.0-x86_64-2.txz and dbus-python-1.2.4-x86_64-1.txz is absent in KDE5

[francois]

Thus we should provide a module for the extra dependencies needed by kde5.

[Blaze]

I think is better way to add python-2.7.11-x86_64-2.txz, pygtk-2.24.0-x86_64-2.txz and dbus-python-1.2.4-x86_64-1.txz to core KDE5
It does not solidly somehow without python

[francois]

You are right. your solution is KISS.

First post updated.

[pauleus]

Hi - I try to use printing by download and activate module.

root@porteus:~# system-config-printer

Print Settings - localhost

Printing service not available. Start the service on this computer or connect to another server.

Start service button is greyed.

I can't find cupsd on the system.

root@porteus:~# cupsd
-su: cupsd: command not found

Printer is an HP LaserJet 4 (Parallel).

Haven't tried this before. Where am I wrong? Thanks!

[brokenman]

Please install cups.

Blaze, any reason why cups was not added to the printing module?
