Printing and scanning for Porteus

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.

Hi Rava,

Thanks

Hello blaze
To get printing on porteus there is a need for the two packages, a universal one and an additionnal one for one's specific desktop:
07-printing-x86_64-2023-09-23.xzm
07-printing-lxde-lxqt-openbox-xfce-x86_64-2023-09-23

In command line I get printing service not available, what do I do to start cupsd?

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# system-config-printer
Thanks

Hi francois,
It looks strange. As root you can run cups via

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
or try printing modules in Always Fresh mode

Yes it seems strange. And the output for starting cups, even more strange.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# /etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
cups: unable to start scheduler.
root@porteus:/home/guest#

Interesting output:

This could be due to missing dependencies of cups:

How do we check for that with slapt-mod or dep-mod?

I am on the case with your suggestion. I think this is a good path, but not enough. It seems that I had an old printing module with the new ones.

Presently, I am on another of my linux boxes which prints well. I have not migrated to porteus 5.01. :oops:
