Package: cupsys Version: 1.1.23-12 Severity: wishlist
With two printers, they can come in as /dev/lp0 or as /dev/lp1 depending on power status. This results in mismatching encodings and jobs. Solution is to use udev to map permanent dev names with udev. On my system, I have... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/store/new$ ls -l /dev/printers/* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2006-02-07 12:36 /dev/printers/c40ux -> ../lp0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2006-02-07 12:36 /dev/printers/hpoj4215 -> ../lp1 There appears to be no way to set up the above devices in the web interface (http://localhost:631/printers, Add Printer). Workaround is to use "first USB printer" and "second USB printer", then stop CUPS (/etc/init.d/cupsys stop), edit /etc/cups/printers.conf, and start CUPS (/etc/init.d/cupsys start). CUPS seems to work just fine with udev-created symlinks to the actual devices. I can provide the udev recipe to make the symlinks if anyone thinks it's relevant. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US) Versions of packages cupsys depends on: ii adduser 3.79 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2. 1.4.59 Debian configuration management sy ii gs-esp 8+8.15rc4.dfsg.1-2.1 The Ghostscript PostScript interpr ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcupsimage2 1.1.23-12 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsys2 1.1.23-12 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libgnutls12 1.2.9-2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libpam0g 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpaper1 1.1.14-3 Library for handling paper charact ii libslp1 1.2.1-3 OpenSLP libraries ii patch 2.5.9-2 Apply a diff file to an original ii perl-modules 5.8.7-7 Core Perl modules ii procps 1:3.2.5-1 /proc file system utilities ii xpdf-utils 3.01-2 Portable Document Format (PDF) sui ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-8 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cupsys recommends: ii cupsys-client 1.1.23-12 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii foomatic-filters 3.0.2-20060113-1 linuxprinting.org printer support ii smbclient 3.0.20b-2+b1 a LanManager-like simple client fo -- debconf information: cupsys/raw-print: true cupsys/backend: ipp, lpd, parallel, socket, usb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
