Hello,
I have set my HP remote Printer (Envy 5020 All in One printer) with
CUPS
(protocol/Model is IPP Anywhere).
That's nice! I have an Epson network printer, also available on plain
ethernet other than WiFi, but I could not get CUPS configured with it.
Theoretially it needs Epson filters which do not install only setup,
they are for another linux distribution.
On MacOS, which has CPUS underlying, without installing anything it
works well enough!
Thus I can't physically print on GNUstep right now.
- I can see it (lpstat -a) and I can use it as a remote scanner
within
ScanImage app (by Ondrej Florian) but in the Print Panel of TextEdit
or Ink,
I have only an "Unnamed" item in the Printer list.
that smells like a bug.
Also, GSPdf is installed, but I cannot save to a PDF file. The Panel
self
closes if I try to.
How would it save to PDF? GSPdf is a front-end to ghostview: it uses
it oto render TIFF images and displays the, it has no re-export to
PDF. How are you doing that? With a Dummy Printer?
I have a bad news fro you though, Printing is a long time issue of
GNUstep, essentially it is plagued by various problems if you just try
to save a PS file and check it (and tha tis the file that would be
printed).
We have issues with margings, image placements, paginations... a long
time issue I occasionally hack with Greg or Fred, but no small fix,
that is why it is lingering.
Thus before wasting pater, I'll check my file first.
