Hi,
Been trying to auto install printers (8.0) and I have come across a few
things. I also looked at tonight's cooker files and they have the same
things:
1. AutoInstall of printers never occurs because:
install_steps.pm configurePriner has the line:
foreach (keys %{$o->{printer}{configured} || {}}) {
and should be changed to:
foreach (values %{$o->{printer}{configured} || {}}) {
and while there, the next line should be changed to:
log::l("configuring printer queue $_->{QUEUE} for $_->{mode}");
2. Installation of a Remote LPD printer using the 'lpr' system results in an
incorrect /etc/printcap file.
printer.pm, configure_queue has:
} elsif ($_->{TYPE} eq "REMOTE") {
print PRINTCAP "\t:rm=$_->{REMOTEHOST}:\\\n";
and it should be:
} elsif ($_->{TYPE} eq "LPD") {
print PRINTCAP "\t:rm=$_->{REMOTEHOST}:\\\n";
3. Only I would have this printer problem.... I have an HP-820C
Seems that the /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/printerdb file has 3 printer
definitions where the StartEntry: is incorrectly formatted:
HP DeskJet 720 should be HPDeskJet720
HP DeskJet 820 should be HPDeskJet820
HP DeskJet 1000 should be HPDeskJet1000
package installed is: rhs-printfilters-1.76-3mdk
4. Would be nice to add a new parameter for CUPS printers so that CUPS
options could be passed into lpadmin.
eg. 'CUPSOPTIONS' => '-o Resolution=1200dpi -o Duplex=None'
minor change to printer.pm, configure_queue where lpadmin is run to add
$entry->{CUPSOPTIONS} ? (" ", $entry-{CUPSOPTIONS}) : (),
