[Cooker] AutoInstall - Printers
Hi, Using tonight's Cooker; Thanks for allowing driver selections again. Auto install of a printer fails with error message: warning: foomatic-configure failed at ... printer.pm line 756. Noticed a difference between the GUI based install and the auto install; The GUI install has a couple extra messages prior to 'runing: foomatic-configure ...' which the auto install does not: foomatic-printjob -R -s cups -P Printer ifconfig 127.0.0.1 If that helps any. regards Dave

After examining this, I let you just for autoinstall options, as there is some work done on printer configuration that may remove these works. Is it ok for you, I update only your changes so that autoinstall have the options whereas other installation method do not have them (no gui). François.

Noticed the latest cooker had the patches to printer.pm and install_steps.pm, Thanks. Any idea if or when the rhs-printfilters will be updated? Or should this problem be reported another? Any comment on the CUPSOPTION idea? best regards Dave

[Cooker] AutoInstall Printers Problem
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 beHPDeskJet720
HP DeskJet 820 should beHPDeskJet820
HP DeskJet 1000 should beHPDeskJet1000
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}) : (),
