[Cooker] Raw images from digital cameras can be read with Linux now
If you have a higher end digital camera, you will probably be able to let the camera save the raw sensor output on your memory card. These files are usually camera-specific and the formats not published by the manufacturers. In addition most cameras store some manufacturer-specific data fields in the EXIF header of JPEG files. I have made two new RPM packages and put them into the contribs: dcraw for reading raw images on many cameras and metacam to read manufacturer-specific EXIF extensions. Here are the descriptions (ChangeLog list seems to be broken currently): -- Name: dcrawRelocations: (not relocateable) Version : 0.20030928Vendor: MandrakeSoft Release : 2mdk Build Date: Sun Sep 28 20:38:28 2003 Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: no.mandrakesoft.com Group : Graphics Source RPM: (none) Size: 74009License: Distributable Signature : (none) Packager: Till Kamppeter [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL : http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/ Summary : Reads the raw image formats of more than 70 digital cameras Description : Reads and processes raw images from more than 70 digital cameras. Raw images are the data directly read from the CCD of the camera, without in-camera processing, without lossy JPEG compression, and in 36 or 48 bits color depth (TIFF has 24 bits). Problem of the raw images is that they are in proprietary, camera-specific formats as once, there seems not to be a standard format for high-color-depth images, and second, the raw images contain headers with information about camera settings. This is a collection of command line tools to read and convert the raw image files and also to get camera setting information out of them. Please read the /usr/share/doc/dcraw-0.20030928/dcraw.html file (all programs mentioned in this file are included with this package and the dcraw-gimp package) and the man page (man dcraw). Install also dcraw-gimp if you want to be able to load raw image files directly into the GIMP. This program does not download the files from the camera, it only processes the already downloaded files. Depending on your camera model, mount your camera as a USB mass-storage device, use GPhoto2 (gtkam, flphoto, gphoto2), or a flash card reader for downloading the files. -- ame: metacam Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 1.1 Vendor: MandrakeSoft Release : 1mdk Build Date: Sat Sep 27 22:48:31 2003 Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: no.mandrakesoft.com Group : Graphics Source RPM: (none) Size: 28392License: GPL Signature : (none) Packager: Till Kamppeter [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL : http://www.cheeseplant.org/~daniel/pages/metacam.html Summary : Command line tool to read the EXIF extensions in JPEG files Description : Most digital cameras produce EXIF files, which are JPEG files with extra tags that contain information about the image. In contrary to the tools exif and gexif (and all other libexif-based tools as gphoto2) this tool gives a much easier readable summary of camera settings. But the speciality of this program is that it knows many manufacturer-specific entries for Nikon, Canon, and Olympus cameras. The tool is very compact, the executable has only a size of around 87 kb. -- No MandrakeSoft Advanced Photo Laboratory 9.2 should be complete. Till

Re: [Cooker] kdevelop and gimpprint bad requires on gimp?
The gimpprint package is only the GIMP plugin for printing (the printing dialog for GIMP). The printer driver called GIMP-Print (mainly used for Epson and Canon inkjets) is in the libgimpprint package. The interface of this driver to GhostScript is ijsgimpprint, which is in the printer-filters package. printerdrake takes care that the ghostscript, printer-filters, and libgimpprint packages are installed. So you do not need to have GIMP installed to use an Epson or Canon inkjet printer. Till Crispin Boylan wrote: Hi is it necessary for gimpprint to require gimp? I thought it would have been the other way around? also, why does kdevelop require gimp? Cheers cris.

Crispin Boylan wrote: Hi Would it be possible to update z42tools in printer-utils to 0.3.4b - its currently at 0.2.0 which is very old. The displaying of version 0.2.0 by z42tool is a bug, the installed version (already in 9.1) is in reality 0.3.4. In 9.2 it will be 0.3.4b, but it still displays 0.2.0. A fix of this bug does no functional improvement and therefore we will not do it before 9.2. Also it seems wasteful to include the mtink gimp plugin here, could it not be added to the gimpprint package instead as this only contains a gimp 1.2 plug-in. This way it makes it easier for people who do not have gimp-1.2 installed, as otherwise printer-utils requires libgimp1.2_1 as well, for no reason other than the plugin. This is a good idea, but as it can easily break dependencies and also cause problems by the conflict between the current printer-utils and the future gimpprint packages I will not do this change before 9.2.

It's the sobig.f virus, which is written in MSVC, and propogates through windows, so I don't see how I could have sent it to anyone, but they attach a copy of it with my return address. This makes me very mad. I don't have a single computer running Windows, and I highly doubt if Balsa can execute MS macros LOL. I'm proud of the fact that I don't propogate viruses. Happens with me, too. If a Windows box is infected, the virus searches nearly all files on the hard disk (not only the address book) for mail adresses and sends mails with each one having two randomly chosen but different addresses, one for the sender (From:) and one for the destination (To:). The virus runs its own SMTP implementation, so that there is no provider rejecting the mail with wrong From: addresses. At the destination it is not recognized that the From: address is wrong and the error message is simply sent to the address in the From: header. You probably got many more addresses from the virus itself than error messages from others who received the virus. See http://hq.mcafeeasap.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=100561 for more info about the virus. Anyone knows a way how to find the box where the virus e-mails (not the error messages, the mails from the virus itself) come from?

[Cooker] Plug'n'Load for Digital Cameras
Oi, up to now, there was only Plug'n'Play: You plugged your digital camera to your PC, played around with the software for some time, and, finally, you got your photos downloaded. Now there is Plug'n'Load: You plug in your digital camera and your PC loads your photos automagically. To get this install the camdump package from the Contribs. Then connect your camera and your photos get automatically loaded into /var/spool/camdump or whatever you enter in /etc/camdump. Copy /etc/camdump to ~/.camdump and define a personal directory (you must create it) and from now on you can also automatically load your confidential images. You can also call camdump from the command line (also with a destination directory as argument) or from the menues. Duplicate photos will not be loaded. Please test and report. Works only with cameras supported by libgphoto2! See list on http://n-dimensional.de/projects/digicam/software/snapshots/2003-08-10/SUPPORTED-CAMERAS If your camera can be switched between PTP and USB storage, switch to PTP. Till

I think that autodetecting also fails because some like 'smblient' is not there, because samba3 provides 'smbclient3'. So, in short, samba3 and samba need a good amount of 'alternatives' to get everything working. Or make them incompatible and add a few symlinks in samba3 package. Can somebody confirm this is really a bug, so I fill an entry in bugzilla ? Or I'm forced to install both samba's ? As the alternatives facility is there and it is really useful here, I think you should file a bug for this on bugzilla, either for the samba or the samba3 package. Till

It only assigned the PPD files to the printers in OOo. And as printerdrake sets up the CUPS print queues with the default paper size in the PPD files set correctly, the printers in OOo had the correct paper size. Now OOo gets the PPD files from the CUPS queues by itself. But as the queues are still made by printerdrake, they have the correct paper size and so OOo overtakes this. So no problem, you will not loose anything in OOo, but now you can even make print queues with the KDE Printing Manager or the CUPS web interface and you will also have full access to the printer capabilities in OOo and exacvtly the default settings as you have set for the CUPS queue.

Then upgrade with rpm -Fvh *sane*1.0.8-[26]mdk.i586.rpm After having done so, configure your scanner and do scanimage -T This will probably produce a file named core or core.XXX with XXX being an integer number (it must be the last entry of ls -ltr core*). Run the command gdb -c core.XXX where you replace core.XXX by the name of your core file. Now you will have a (gdb) prompt. Type backtrace and press Enter. Then type quit and press Enter. If you don have gdb on your system, install it with urpmi gdb. Send us all the screen output of both scanimage -T and gdb. Try also other things and send us screen output of the program called and of gdb. If you have another RPMish distro than Mandrake, try to rebuild the RPMs for your distro: rpm --rebuild sane-1.0.8-6mdk.src.rpm rpm --rebuild sane-frontends-1.0.8-2mdk.src.rpm Perhaps you must install a package named rpm-build or rpm-rebuild for that. You also need C compiler, Perl, and make on your machine. If more packages are needed you will get appropriate screen messages. Then proceed as shown above.

Till, am I right that you are Mandrake's maintainer for Sane? If you are, here are a few requests/comments: According to the backtrace information posted by Henning on the mailing list, the segfault occurs somewhere in the sanei_scsi library. Unfortunately, the debug symbols seem to be removed from the binaries in the Mandrake rpm files, so we don't get very precise information about the location of the segfault. WHat Mitsuru and I would like to know is where exactly the segfault happens. So it would be best, if we and the users who have the Canoscan 300 and the other hardware, for which the segfault occurs, could get the regular Sane files from Mandrake 8.0 -- but _with_ debug symbols, and also the source files, if Mandrake applied some patches to them. Using the most recent sources from Sane's CVS server could result in different behaviour. Abel

They go into the ~/.lpoptions file in your home directory. Make sure that the file is writable for you (not owned by root or so) and that there is no directory named ~/.lpoptions. If the file does not exist, it will be created the first time you save options. The settings in the file are valid also for the lpr, lp, and xpp commands and options saved with lpoptions or xpp go also into that file. These settings are valid only for you. Option settings saved from one of the above mentioned programs running as root go into /etc/cups/lpoptions and are system-wide when not overridden by a personal ~/.lpoptions file. These settings are valid for all users on the local machine. Driver options set with the KDE Printing Manager, Printerdrake, the CUPS web interface (http://localhost:631/), or the lpadmin command are saved in the printer's PPD file (/etc/cups/ppd/printer name.ppd). These settings are also valid when printing from a remote machine. When modifying something on your printer configuration, the tool you use can ask you for login and password. Use root and the root password then. Most applications produce PostScript level 2, so the printing system must convert it to PostScript level 1. To do so, use the KDE Print Manager or Printerdrake to set up your printer. Choose the Kyocera FS-3800 as your printer and Foomatic + Postscript or GhostScript + Postscript as your driver. Then set the GhostScript pre-filtering option to Convert to PS level 1. Set the resolution to a value supported by your printer's hardware. Duplex and Page Size should be set how you need it for most of your print jobs. If printing works now but is too slow, try to use your printer in PCL mode (model: HP LaserJet 4, driver: hpijs). This makes rendering to be done by your computer and your computer has probably much more CPU power than your printer. Please tell how you got it to work and what is the best solution.

This is with either the Generic PS, or the Apple Laserwriter NTX, or the 880.PPD drivers. None of the three actually print a test page. It seems that they are all being sent as PS Level 2 or 3, and my printer just will not accept anything above Level 1 PS. Also, if I try to print from let's say KWord, nothing will print either. The job is sent, the lights blink, but just dies. Another problem with KDE printing is the setup or *Properties* don't save even if you click the Save button. Specifically the A4 paper size is default. I can change it to Letter and hit Save, but when I go back in, it has changed back to A4. The funny thing is that, the test pages have never actually printed, even back many distro levels. But at least with the proper .ppd file installed, I could get printing to work from the kprinting app. Now not even that works. It seems that ALL printing may be sending in Level 2 or above PS, but this is just a guess as to what the problem is.

Re: [Cooker] Turn off Browsing by default for CUPS

Unfortunately, we have a firewall (and I think that many company have this nowadays) on the same LAN (which is quite normal...) ; the problem is that this firewall runs some program to prevent/detect intrusion or DOS attack. So, after a few minutes, since the firewall machine received many unsollicited UDP packets on port 631, he decided my machine was trying to attack it and add a "route reject" to block outgoing packet. I was then unable to reach the firewall (or in fact, he was unable to reach me), and I couldn't acces internet anymore. Hopefully, I'm rather familiar with admin. and this kind of things, so I was able to track the faulty application (cups) and change its config file to top this behaviour. in cupsd.conf, I simply replaced #Browsing On by Browsing Off Could it be possible to include this in the MDK 8 Cups config file by default ? On a more general thought, many firewall don't really like broadcast on their ports, and I think having some packages which by default use broadcasting on 255.255.255.255 without warning the user is not a good thing. I don't think a beginner user would have been able to solve this problem easily. Moreover, the most commons case today when you want to print are : - you have your own printer on parallel port - browsing not required - you use a LAN printer with its own IP addr - browsing not required In a heterogeous company's environment, with many Windows PC and (unfortunately for now) not many Linuxes, I don't think the possibility to share printer by UDP port 631 is often used, so turning Browsing OFF by default shouldn't harm many users (novice or not). Once the printer works with LAN or parallel port, it should always be possible for the user to read cups doc and to turn browsing ON on his LAN.

[Cooker] Improving the GNU/Linux printing support
Oi, now I have entered the execution data of all printer drivers listed on www.linuxprinting.org (except the Seiko label printer driver "slap" which does not support PostScript or graphics input), which means that when you update to the newest packages of GhostScript and CUPS-Drivers from the Cooker (backport for 7.2 comes later) all printers listed on www.linuxprinting.org will work as described there. But many printers (especially laser printers) do not simply print the document as generated by the printer driver, they accept also some extra commands (so-called PJL commands), sent before the job is sent, to access special printing modes as toner saving mode, smoothing of edges (REt), input tray selection, usage of finishers, ... This works for both PostSctipt and non-PostScript printers. Unfortunately, the database of www.linuxprinting.org does not contain many PJL commands, and I have found out how to read the available ones out of the printer. So I ask you to read out the PJL options of your printer and send them to me (to me, not onto the lists, to prevent them from being flooded). Read the attached file or surf to http://www.linuxtag.org/2001/deutsch/showitem.php3?item=194lang=en to see a call written by Kurt Pfeifle who is the author of many printing articles in the german "Linux Magazin". It contains all info which you need to do the check. Thank you in advance for your PJL option files.

Every user with a printer connected to a parallel or USB port can help to achieve a better Linux support for his printer (if not working perfectly already). The Database has been built and accumulated by Grant Taylor, the well-known author of the Linux Printing HOWTO for quite some time. It is a key for the achievement of one (or some?) hi class Free printing system(s) for Linux. For quite a few printers the data about working PJL commands are still very incomplete. The quicker and the more precise this gap is filled the more profound and rapid the Linux support for modern printers in a Linux environment (and, in fact, amongst other Free Unix-like operating systems as well as non-Free ones) will develop in the months ahead. The database is not just of a huge advantage for CUPS -- other printing and spooling systems will also benefit a lot, like BSD-LPD, LPRng or PDQ. On the backgrounds and workings of this database you might want to read a bit in my (so far German-only) "CUPS-FAQ".

Make sure that your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf has the line
Printcap /etc/printcap

Unfortunately, one cannot set the printer's options from within kword

"qtcups" or "xpp", change the options as you want to have them and SAVE
them. Then they are used by any program, also by kword, and so you can
print your kword documents in up to "1440x720 dpi, Highest Quality"

Re: [Cooker] CUPS deficiencies.
Ron Stodden wrote:
To Till Kamppeter,
Re CUPS.
I have two machines on a LAN, say called 'one' and 'two'. One has a
deskjet 970cxi attached to the parallel port. Two is a gateway
machine to the internet with two NICs.
One may be running either Mandrake 7.2, fully updated, or Windows 98
SE.
Two runs either 7.2, fully updated, or today's Cooker and has no
local printer.
Two therefore has Kups set up with two printers, a remote CUPS
printer, and an SMB remote printer. Properly, kups on two comes up
with one printer disabled, which one depending which OS is running on
one.
Kups Bug: On two, running Cooker, with the SMB printer disabled in
kups, kups keeps producing a modal dialog box every few seconds
stating that the printer (does not say which printer) is
inacessible. When this modal box is up, kups itself is inaccesible.
Surely when a printer is marked as disabled, kups should not be
trying to access it? Also, the dbox should not be modal, so that
other printers can be used.
This bug is known, shows up sometimes, and when one restart kups the
dialogs disappear in most cases.
Xpp Bug: On two, running 7.2, xpp seems to be keeping its own
independent history of all printers that have ever been connected to
this machine, and dutifully produces all these printers listed in its
window with no right click option to remove a printer. Surely, like
kups, it should only use the printers broadcast to it by the printer
servers?
XPP is a printing frontend, it has no administration options (as
removing printers). The issue you have seen applies to the printer lists
of all frontends (XPP, QtCUPS, KUPS, lpstat), the list is generated by
the CUPS library. Unfortunately, it contains disabled, but existing
printer queues, and also entries which are only in ~/.lpoptions or
/etc/cups/lpoptions but do not exist on any server any more. Edit this
files and remove all obsolete entries from them. Start the frontend
again and you will have only two queues (one active depending on the
server's OS) left.
Further, xpp makes an incorrect default printer selection (the
bullet). Surely it should NEVER select an inaccessible printer as
the default printer?
The problem is that you can define a default printer by clicking on
"Options" and then "This printer as default", but this is static and
does not follow the OS change on the server. I think the CUPS authors
thought only about corporate networks and there are normally no
dual-boot machines. A solution would be the following:
Define a class containing the two queues (remote CUPS, SMB). Define this
class as your default printer. A print job sent to a class is treated by
the first printer responding. And because in your case there is only one
printer queue which can respond, the correct queue is chosen
automatically. The class you define with kups or the web interface, you
make it the default with XPP ("Options", "This printer as default").

A large article covering all about CUPS, beginning from what CUPS is over the configuration of printers and network connections, the usage, up to special tips and tricks you get a lot of info.

If problems appear with the most recent, take an older one and tell me exactly what problems appeared with the newest version. I only do a short test of these packages before I put them there. They are not official updates, use them on your own risk. They should help you to get rid of problems due to bugs in the released packages. To install the packages enter rpm -Uvh package name You do not need to install the ".src.rpm" packages, they contain the source code of the programs and are there for interested users. 4. The web site where our printer driver and support information comes from: http://linuxprinting.org/ There you get information whether printers are supported and how, which drivers are available, you will be informed about new drivers and you can discuss in the discussion forums.

Re: [Cooker] Cups HP 970Cxi
Unfortunately, GIMP-Print does not support this model, but "Foomatic + cdj970" supports at least double-sided printing. It seems that the GIMP-Print team is mainly concerned about Epson. One should suggest them to support this printer, because it is an excellent piece of hardware, as I know the only inkjet with duplex and it needs not more space than a usual inkjet. It seems that GIMP-Print does not support CRET III, CRET II support was recently added to the CVS of GIMP-Print. Removing printers: The removal must be done on the machine where the queue for the printer was created, usually on the machine where the printer is connected to. Check the /etc/cups/printers.conf file. It has an entry for every printer. When one removes a printer, the appropriate entry is deleted. Check the permissions of /etc/cups/printers.conf, remove the undesired entry manually and restart the CUPS daemon. On clients the printer disappears only after a timeout of five minutes. Restart the daemon there to let the entry appear immediately. Till Armisis Aieoln wrote: I have the 970Cxi also, and need full support.

[Cooker] WARNING: CUPS on Cooker
Oi, PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL THE CURRENT COOKER AS YOUR ONLY OPERATING SYSTEM WHEN YOU WANT TO PRINT!!! As most of you already know, the current Cooker uses gcc 2.96 and new standard libraries, so it is not binary-compatible to Linux Mandrake 7.2. Unfortunately, CUPS does not compile in the new environment, and due to some configuration issues which I have to fix for 7.2, I cannot fix the compiling of CUPS soon. Note that Cooker is intended to be a development and testing version of Linux Mandrake and that it is not suitable as a production environment. WE HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH GCC 2.96. If you want to help us in the development of printing, please use Mandrake 7.2. Naturally every hint to get CUPS compiled with gcc 2.96 is welcome. Till
[Cooker] CUPS: Back in Cooker again!
Oi, with the help of Chmouel I got the CUPS package compiled under the new GCC 2.96. The problem was a "-O2 -O3" (both at the same time!) defined as compiler optimization options by the CUPS authors. This worked with all former gcc's and the compilers of all commercial Unixes, gcc 2.96 is the first having problems with this senseless setting. Because the Makefiles of CUPS hide the compiler command line I didn't see it. Now you can print out of the Cooker version again, and I hope that you will comment on any problem and give many contributions to make the printing system even better in the next release of Mandrake.

Re: [Cooker] How can I get rid of cups ? (my way)
Once, you can find the printtool under the contribs, and second, I
cannot imagine why you get bad printing quality with your HP LaserJet
6L. All drivers which were available for LPD in 7.1 are also available
for CUPS under 7.2. And under CUPS you can even do a lot of fine-tuning
to raise the printing quality.
The drivers available for your printer are
HP LaserJet 6 series, CUPS+GIMP-Print
HP LaserJet 6, Foomatic + ljet4
HP LaserJet 6, Foomatic + stp-4.0 (GIMP-Print)
HP LaserJet 6L, Foomatic + ljet4
The "Foomatic + ljet4" entries are exactly the same driver as in
Mandrake 7.1. They should give exactly the same quality. Make sure that
you set the default options correctly to get a high quality. Either got
to http://localhost:631/printers/, click the "Configure Printer" button
at the entry of your HP LaserJet 6L or start "kups" and click with the
right button on your printer in the printer list of the main window. In
the pop-up menu choose "Configure Printer". Now you can put the
resolution to 600x600 dpi, try different dithering methods, and so on.
You can even set up options for every individual printout ("Options" in
"xpp", "Properties" in "qtcups".

P. S.: I have a LaserJet 1100 here and it works perfectly with CUPS.

In this case the LPD printing commands are "lpr-lpd", "lpq-lpd", "lprm-lpd", and "lpc-lpd". - CUPS can emulate LPD, see http://localhost:631/sam.html or http://www.cups.org/sam.html (CUPS-LPD mini-daemon). - Run only LPD by removing CUPS, installing lpr and rhs-printfilters and using "printerdrake -expert" or "printerdrake -lpr". - If you want to use the "printtool", it is in the contribs.

Re: [Cooker] GIMP-Print 4.0.0 final is out
For me it seems that the dot size is as with 300 dpi, but the printer prints interlaced. For 600x300 dpi it moves the printhead by only half a dot width between printing two dots. For 600x600 dpi it sweeps over one line twice, moving the paper by half a dot height between the two sweeps. This leads to a rather high intensity for 600x600 dpi. So it is recommanded to use the "CUPS + GIMP-Print v4.0" driver and adjust the colours with "calibrate-gimpprint".

Re: [Cooker] xcdroast in 7.2 is bad
The error message is really bad, but the author didn't take much care about the multi-user concepts for CD-burning of the different distros yet, the original package had even some check that only "root" can start it. I have removed this check when I made an RPM for Mandrake out of it. So the original author never came into your situation, because it seems that he tested the program only logged in as "root". Recently he sent me an e-mail that he is working on his own concept for secure burning in multi-user environments, so there will be a new version soon which perhaps has even a better concept then Linux Mandrake with its "cdwriter" group. But the "cdwriter" group concept in Mandrake is valid for cdrecord itself and all frontends, so trying GNOME Toaster when one is not in "cdwriter" will not work, too, but it will perhaps give a better error message. Not bundling cdrecord with X-CD-Roast is a concept which started with X-CD-Roast 0.98. And I think it is a good concept, many distros ship both cdrecord and X-CD-Roast 0.96(ex2) and so they waste disk space with two copies of cdrecord. In addition, the user is confused by having two different versions of cdrecord (separate 1.9 and x-CD-Roast with 1.6). Till Steve Fox wrote: Ok, I knew I had to be a member of the cdwriters group, but that's an poor error message none the less. Thanks for helping to find the problem.

Re: [Cooker] Which driver to choose for CUPS?
At first you should try the GIMP-Print one. It has much more options and probably supports the maximum resolution of your printer. It also allows colour adjustment. But Canon support in the GIMP-Print driver is still experimental (not all models tested). So it is possible that you get only poor results. The other entry is an old driver (probably the bjc600 driver of GhostScript) it has not so many options, especially no colour-calibration. It is even possible, that one driver is better for text and the other better for image printing. In this case the best is to install two queues for the printer.

Re: [Cooker] qtcups won't exit
QTCUPS is printing frontend, not a configuration frontend, to make it compatible to lpr (to use it as printing command in applications) it reads the data to print from standard input and when there is no data, it hangs. So use it only with a filename or with the output of another program piped in when you use it on the command line. In applications you can simply enter "qtcups" as printing command. All applications supply the printer data either through standard input or by adding a file name at the end of the entered command line. The qtcups in the menu under Configuration/Printing is called by the following command line: echo '%!' | /usr/bin/qtcups -j none This supplies an empty PostScript file as data to print (so the printer does nothing) and the "-j none" avoids the "Job sent" window popping up after clicking OK. So the program does not freeze when one calls it from the menu and clicks OK. The sense of calling qtcups from the menu is that the user can set up and save his personal default options for the printers. XPP allows also printing from standard input so that one can use it in applications. So it freezes, too, when there is no information for being printed. But XPP has a facility to choose a file to print inside its main dialog.

[Cooker] Re: cups,kups,xpp et. al
If you have enough money (2000$+?) buy a colour laser. They are all PostScript and have excellent quality and the expenses for one page are cheaper than for an inkjet (see below if you prefer an inkjet). ALL PostScript printers are supported PERFECTLY when you use CUPS. Simply copy the PPD file coming on the CDs/floppies coming with the printer into /usr/share/cups/model, restart the CUPS daemon: /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart and choose your printer (it's there now due to the PPD file you have copied) in the installer (kups, printerdrake, web interface). Now you will have EXACTLY the same options as you have when you use the printer under Windows/MacOS. Usage of the PPD files is ONLY supported by CUPS (the printing system of Mandrake 7.2 For colour calibration look into the manual of the printer, one usually does the calibration by the panel of the printer or by its web interface (most printers inthis price regions have an ethernet connector). If you do not have the money, search for a "PERFECTLY" supported colour inkjet (150$+?) on http://www.linuxprinting.org The best is taking a model supported by the "stp" driver (GhostScript driver of GIMP-Print), this driver allows a lot of adjustments for enhancing the printout quality, including the highest resolutions and colour adjustment.

Fixed many page sizes defined in the Level 1 compatibility file "gs_statd.ps" to match reality. Fixed another bug in the setpagedevice "code" in Ghostscript. It should now accept all standard Adobe attributes on all platforms. Fixed pstoraster so that it reallocates memory for color depth changes as well as size/resolution changes. This removes an ordering constraint on the color, page size, and resolution options in PPD files. The IPP backend didn't use the job's character set when the destination printer supported it. This caused problems when printing text files to other CUPS servers. Updated the logic used to determine when to rebuild the PPD file database. The scheduler now checks the dates and the number of PPD files (was just checking the dates.) Updated the ippSetCGIVars() function (used by the web interfaces) to only filter valid string values. The PostScript filter was scaling 2-up pages incorrectly. This caused the edges of some pages to be clipped.

Perhaps it is a so-called host-based printer (also called winprinter, a printer without memory, ROM, processor, with very primitive electronics where the Windows driver creates a bitmap and sends it to the printer). Was it much cheaper than the other Canon models at the time when you have bought it? Till

Surely there is an equivalent file, which can only be set up manually, since only the system administrator knows who is permitted access to each remote printer? Se the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf or better start "kupsdconf" as root and look especially into the security section. There you can restrict the access permission to the whole server, the server administration, all printers, all classes, or every individual printer or class to the desired machines, or exclude machines from being allowed. For user restrictions you can create a group and make all permitted users member of it then give a group permission to the printer with "kupsdconf". Password protection based on the Unix accounts of the users (or on a special user account on the server) is possible by "basic authentication" password protection by special CUPS accounts with "digested authentification". "Basic authentication" as root of the server is default for the server administration. Till

"Povl H. Pedersen" wrote: I have found a minor problem with CUPS. In the default config, it does a network broadcast (255.255.255.255) on UDP port 631 every minute or so. Isn't it bad that the default config file will shout to the world by default and generate network noise as well ? The broadcasted stuff only propagates in the local network (I do not see your printers in my printer list) and it is very short (I think only the server's name and the printer's name). So you should not perceive any load on your network. I am also missing ipp 631/udp # Internet Printing Protocol in my /etc/services (from a fresh 7.2b3) It's not necessary, for me CUPS worked without it. Till
Re: [Cooker] cups and samba error in Beta 3
Another problem: You can have passed the printing data through a driver twice: You can either use a printer driver on the server side. Then let Samba as it is and configure you printer as generic PostScript printer on your Windows clients. The PostScript is arriving at Samba and passed to CUPS. CUPS passes the PostScriopt through its printer driver. Or you use a driver on the client side (Windows driver) and set print command = lpr-cups -P 0 -o raw instead of print command = lpr-cups -P 0 in the [printers] section of your /etc/smb.conf and restart the SMB daemon. PostScript -- PCL -- PCL does not work. Till jdrash wrote: I got this working with one minor issue. My printer uses ghostscript and I see "%[ LastPage ]%" on a print outs sent via samba or IPP.

Re: [Cooker] 10 Desktop features request
LINK WORLD [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: 4. Remote printing needed changes in several 'host' files to get it of the ground. How do you want to do remote printing. For me it is no problem. When I have the CUPS daemon running on all printer servers and on all clients which should use the printers on the server (tested in case of all machines being Mandrake 7.1, 7.2beta) I nedd to do nothing more than configuring every printer on only one server. The CUPS daemon broadcasts the information from the server to all the clients. So on the clients nothing has to be configured. It is enough when the CUPS daemon is running. Alternatively you can set the name of one of the servers into the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (see comments inside) and you do not need a CUPS daemon running on that client, but CUPS must be installed. If the server uses LPD, set up a remote LPD printer on one of your machines running the CUPS daemon (LPD backend in KUPS or "lpadmin -p remlpd -E -v lpd://machine/queue -m PPD file" where machine is the name of the server, queue is the name of the LPD queue on the server). If the server runs Windows NT or 2000, install the samba and samba-client packages (the SMB daemon does not need to be started) and restart the CUPS daemon afterwards. Start kups and choose SMB as backend. The rest is click and play. I didn't need to change any "host" files. Which "host" files did you modify and how. What happened when you didn't do it.

Re: [Cooker] Switching from lpr to cups
At first update to the newest versions of all CUPS-related packages (always do this at first before complaining about a bug): drakxtools-1.1.5-22mdk cups-1.1.3-10mdk cups-drivers-0.3.6-22mdk ghostscript-*-5.50-29mdk xpp-0.6-14mdk qtcups-1.0-12mdk kups-0.8-19mdk Then you will have a LOT of bugs fixed and a much bigger printer list. The OkiLaser 800 is listed as OKIDATA OL 800 and for printers of the HP LaserJet II series there are more or less 6 entries under HP. Note that there is written '2' instead of 'II'. in addition there is an "HP LaserJet Series" entry (in some configuration programs under "ESP") which should work for the HP LaserJet and compatible printers, too. The best driver for HP LaserJet II and compatibles you find as "LaserJet 2 (GIMP-Print)" under HP. It has a lot of adjustable options to improve the image quality. The cups-drivers package contains the PPD files (printer description files, every file gives one entry in the printer list) of two databases. The main database is the database of Grant Taylor (http://www.linuxprinting.org) and a smaller one is cups-drivers-0.3.6 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cups/. In Grant Taylors database the PPD files for the Oki printers have the manufacturer entry "OKIDATA", in the other database "OKI". This leads to these two entries. I could not edit all PPD files individually so that they fit to each other because they are more than 1000. I also cannot check whether the model names are really the most commonly used ones. If you want to have a really comfortable printer administration program, use kups and not printerdrake. printerdrake is a simple tool for getting started during the installation. For printing type "xpp file" or "qtcups file" instead of "lpr file" at the command line or use "xpp" or "qtcups" instead of "lpr" as printing command in your applications. Go also to http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php3?sid=2812035247 for getting more tips for using CUPS. Till Ron Stodden wrote: Till, Cups is progress? Nothing works, local or remote printing test during my installs. Also why is my OkiLaser 800 not in your lists of printers? Also why is the HP Laserjet II not in your lists of printers?
