[Cooker] Cups printing with screen fonts!!!
Hi In Konqueror a have min fonts to 16 and the stupid Cups try to print with it so that the page does not for on the paper. Interesting guran -- Mandrake Linux Cooker 9.2 kernel-2.4.22.0.6mdk-1-1mdk Only in a society that has 'a priori' defined what is the truth can the result from the evolution of life be defined false.
[Cooker] CUPS slow startup with no network
Hello, For a while I've been wondering why CUPS is so darned slow at startin up. The system boots just stops for about 11 seconds while the CUPS deamon is starting. I now believe that it is because it expects to find a network out there. Mine is a stadalone laptop with a PCMCIA network card which most of the time is out of the slots. Since there is not much output I cannot deterimine exactly why, when all the CUPS printers are declared as local and `Browsing' is `off' in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, CUPS is trying to access the network any way. This is not a current Cooker problem. I have raised this before 9.0 went out ! Can anyone shed any light on what is going on here ? Does any one else see CUPS as slow to get started ? Is the fact that there is a network device configured at all enough to cause CUPS to try and access it ? I don't want to remove / add any network configuration data every time I use the PCMCIA network card ! Thanks, Owen
Re: [Cooker] CUPS slow startup with no network
Can you post this on one of the CUPS forums: http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php There are many CUPS experts and probably someone will find a solution.

Thanks Till.
I think I made a work around to solve the build problem. But now it would
probably be possible to use the vanilla php-cups source.

[Cooker] cups won't let superuser delete jobs
Hi, Using the print control panel in the KDE control center, i've noticed an interesting problem. If I create a print job as a user, which for whatever reason isn't printing (in the test case, was an SMB printer that wasn't available), and then go into "Administrator Mode" - I can't delete the job. The message in the dialog box is: Unable to perform action "Remove" on selected jobs. Error received from manager: You don't have access rights to the requested resource Shouldn't the administrator have the ability to delete jobs? Logging out of "administrator mode" and back to the user - the user can delete the job. Tried submitting this to Bugzilla - got an error message "require_component", so am posting it here. V.

Hi again! Thanks for your suggestion: the problem does not appear if I *manually* stop cups before executing the update! Maybe the rpm-script does not shut down cups properly if a client is sending a job to the server at that moment...

Could be that during the upgrade of the various cups components it
shuts the cups server off instead of trying to restart it.

Ok... if you restart a server that is stopped, you will get a failed
on the "stop"... it's already stopped so it can't stop it. That's why
you get your "failed". It does start up however, right? You said it
gives "ok" when it starts.
The status thing I'm not sure of... you did the status after you
restarted? Try doing a "service cups stop", then do "ps ax|grep cups"
and make *sure* it is stopped. Then do a "service cups start" and then
"ps ax|grep cups" and make sure cups is running. Finally, do your
"service cups status" and see if it still says cups is stopped. It
might not be writing the pid file properly, so the status might be
misleading.
Of course, it is entirely possible that cups isn't starting, but at
least by doing the above, you will know for sure.

This looks to me like cups didn't stop clean before. If it's unable to
bind to the socket, that means something has got a hold of the socket
already, meaning that during the upgrade when cups was supposed to be
stopped, it didn't really stop. IIRC, the initscript tries to kill the
cupsd based on the pid in the /var/run/cupsd.pid (or whatever) file.
If that file is removed, you effectively have a cupsd that is not
controllable via the initscript (initscript thinks cupsd is already
stopped because the pid file is no longer present).
If you do have a "zombie" cupsd running that the initscript cannot
stop, you can try to kill -9 it. This should not normally happen, but
it's possible something/someone was trying to print which may have
prevented cupsd from stopping when you wanted to stop it. Of course, I
could have no clue what I'm talking about since I don't know much about
cups other than that it has always just worked. =) But this is what I
would look for.
> Downgrading to 8.2 "original" packages, server comes back working fine!
Try what I suggested above. I'm quite certain there should be nothing
wrong with these cups packages as I tested them here and was able to
run them and print through them. IIRC, I didn't have cups previously
installed/configured, so there might be some strangeness with the
upgrade that I missed, but I don't think so. The bind socket error
tells me something different.

[Cooker] CUPS `raw' printer Q not really raw
If you print, say, some Espon-ish dotmatrix text with a few embedded `Condensed Enable/Disable' commands the MIME type of your file goes from ASCII-with-Escapes or PCL to `data' and CUPS throws it in the bin instead of printing it. By uncommenting two lines in the /etc/cups/mime.* and restarting CUPS, you get _really_ raw output. It would be nice if there were some on-the-spot notice of this misbehaviour somewhere; CUPS (any recent version shipped with Cooker or 9.0) itself doesn't sem to have any. I can see why it is done (stops gonzos from printing program files, for example) but it was a bit of a bastard to debug, hardly mentioned on the Web anywhere. Perhaps Mandrake could push a suggestion up to the maintainer that they also offer (at the user-sees-on-menu level) a `bleeding' mode which is `really, really' raw. Cheers; Leon

Hello, I'm using 5 HP4050N and 1 HP4000N printers. At home I use an HP OfficeJet K80xi. In all cases cups-1.1.16-0.4mdk does not handle landscape.

Till [ Part 2: "Included Message" ] Date: 28 Jul 2002 16:36:28 GMT From: Claus-Justus Heine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: linuxprinting.general Subject: cups + a2ps in landscape mode Seemingly the cups pstops filter removes the "%%%Orientation: ..." option from the ps-document. As a result documents are printed in the default orientation of the printer. This is a problem when using e.g. a2ps which likes to print in landscape mode. For the moment I have hacked pstops.c from the cups distribution to just ignore the document provided orientation option, and this seems to work. Has anybody experienced the same problem?

No, there is no patch, however you can easily grab just the updated pstops.c file (which would be created by any patch we would supply) from: http://cvs.easysw.com/ and then recompile using the new pstops.c file in the filter directory.

[Cooker] CUPS takes forever !
Hello, While on holiday I used an HP USB printer. I think there are too many potentially conflicting ways of doing printer installation !! Kups, LinuxConf, localhost:631, printerdrake and cups-config !!! I have yet to get the printer done with one to appear correctly in all the others ! Remove a printer with localhost:631 and LinuxConf thinks it's still there, but crashes when it tries to access the record ! The USB printer worked fine after I had "installed" it, but when I came back the next day and re-powered the machine all I could get were "client-error-..." and that's all I can now get from any printer. However, it soon became obvious that the system is not actually sending jobs to the printer at all any way ! I don't know where they are going, but with the printer attached or not all that appears are "client-error-..."s !!! Owen

[Cooker] cups in beta2 does not print on HP LaserJet 6P
After installing cups and configuring for HP 6P the testpage ist printed correctly. But all applications don't print correctly (exepted OpenOffice 641). My feeling is that cups assumes HP 6P would be a postcript printer. After wasting a lot of time and paper I configured my printer to be a HP LaserJet 4. Now all works fine. Thus I assume a bug in cups-drivers. Besides: Printing on my color printer HP 990cxi works fine. W. Kasberg

[Cooker] CUPS driver question
I am trying to understand where CUPS is getting it's available driver information. I have a friend who has an Epson Stylus C80 printer. He is using Mandrake 7.2. He claims that the driver for that printer is not listed. I look in the list under Mandrake 8.2 beta 1 and the driver is there. I check the drivers in /usr/share/cups/model/epson/ and there does not appear to be a driver for the C80! Any idea where this driver is coming from? I just want to upgrade enough of his system to support that printer. (Anything more might confuse him.) Ideas? Maybe I do need to buy that book on CUPS...

[Cooker] CUPS Bug?

[Cooker] cups drivers,HPOJ1150C Attn. Till
Well, drakx detected my printer fine and chose what it thought to be the best driver, cdj850 i believe. This driver was new to my use and contained a number of features more pertinent to my printer unlike the driver i believe i had previously been using, cdj550. Test page fine in install. Nothing but nonsense when i tried to print out a document. Went into printerdrake, it recommended cdj850, i chose cdj550, test page and doc printed fine (but slow and wasteful as this driver unlike the other has no support for anything other than best quality on my printer). Also, the cdj550 supported post install a choice of color modes incl floyd steinberg gray, while the new one i did not see a place to change this for. I use gray because the color printing within my hardware is broken (only pink, nothing else). Any help is much appreciated, Blue.
[Cooker] cups again
Hi!
One test is missing in the cups init script: $TMP should always point to
/tmp and not to e.g. /root/tmp. But it will point to /root/tmp after
upgrading or manually restarting it. Then the admin cgi tool (configure
printer) which runs under the user "lpd" will not work. strace:
[...]
open("/root/tmp/3b9212b475245", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = -1 EACCES

[Cooker] cups-1.1.10-1mdk not starting on startup
Hi! I have some problems with cups (since quite a while, I don't remember when it started, sorry). 1) cupsd does not start at boot time. I don't know why it doesn't start. It doesn't tell one, that it could not start, the init scripts prints a green OK. In cups/error_log all I can find is something like "I [22/Aug/2001:20:01:15 +0100] Listening to 0:631" followed by nothing. When I start cupsd after boot by hand, it comes up correctly. 2) The "Configure Printer" page doesn't work, because cupsd is forking another process under the user "lp" which tries to use the directory /root/tmp for some temporary files. As this is not allowed, it tried again and again and again... The second problem should imho be fixed because it sometimes can happen that the daemon is started by hand (I guess this will not happen when it is started while booting). If someone has a hint for my first problem, please tell me! Maybe this is just a problem of mine? Thanks. BTW: I tried with kernel 2.4 (DevFS) and 2.2, no difference. -- Michael Reinsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://mr.uue.org

[Cooker] CUPS and smbspool link
I had a problem with CUPS which caused documents to be printed over and over forever. I removed all of cups including all directories and files, and then re-installed it. After the installation, I was unable to add SMB printers. I found that the link /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb was missing. After creating it using ln -s `which smbspool` /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb everything worked. I had a look at the rpms, cups, cups-common, libcups1 and none of them appear to create this link. Is there a reason why? Is there another package which creates this link when it is installed? Or is this link only created by the initial installation of the system? regards Dave

[Cooker] Cups and its possibilities
Back in the old days working with lpd and /etc/printcap we installed filters to handle postscript vs ascii text and such. Is it still possible with cups to make postscript filters? I am working in a company that would like to exit banners according to what classification each document has. Ex. a document with classification "restricted" would need a appropriate banner or even better will be forwarded to a restricted printer. I could imagine doing some checks on the postscript file send out to cups and then parsing a known part of the document will give the classification number or string. Have anyone seen this or done this already? (probably not) Have anyone any idea if this is possible with cups? Regards, Mads Rasmussen

[Cooker] CUPS: Printing PS-files won't work
cooker 20010419 I have been fighting with CUPS for hours now. I can't print ps-files. First I thought that printing won't work at all exept for the test page. Then I tried to lpr some other that ps-files and I noticed that everything else is working just fine. For example pdf-files are printed just like they should be. Ok, only from the command line because many programs convert the files into postscript.. When I looked the logs, I noticed that ps-files are not propertly filtered. The test page uses these filters: pstops & cupsomatic, the other ps-files use just cupsomatic.. The question is: how to get ps-files filtered so that they can be printed? Hopefully this is corrected in the 8.0! Regards, Matias
[Cooker] CUPS printing problem
I am unable to print properly under cups I have an HP-4 connected to the network via a JetDirect card. I have it configured and a remote lpd printer. The test page prints just fine. If I do and "lpr sometextfile" it prints but is cut off on the left margin. If I print from a program it prints just fine as long as it is only one page. If it is more the one page, it prints one page with all the pages superimposed on each other. Robin Cook

[Cooker] CUPS problem
Please, turn off "browsing" in CUPS. It's the third time that I install cooker with cups on a local PC, in my university LAN. This new PC exports its printer that is detected by the "official" CUPS+SMB server. 1. All Samba users from any machine can see lp@cookertest 2. When I turn off "cookertest" machine, cups server on the REAL department server DIE :( 3. 500 users come to me saying they cannot print into a palace of 3 floors:(( So I have to restart cups+samba by hand, obviuosly it happens when people come here to protest...

Re: [Cooker] Cups using 95% CPU?!
I'm sorry, but I just can't buy that. Those of you on desktops may not be able to tell, but if you're on a laptop the fan spins up when something is chewing the CPU cycles. This happens when something slips into an infinite loop (like netscape!) or when compiling (fair enough). But a daemon in a wait, or blocking on a select should never do this.

[Cooker] cups
Hi Devels ;o) I'm really impressed by Cups' printing-improvements. So I setted up a cups+smb server for Window$ machine in my department. The problem is that each time I install a linux-mandrake machine, new entries appears among the server's one. So I have to go to my user's room, turn off cups browsing and then restart cups and then restart smb onto server. It's quite boring... So the question: can you turn of the defaul voice "browsing --> enabled"?! Put it to "disabled" please ;) Bye, Claudio -- Nothing's as simple as it seems...

[Cooker] CUPS problems, KUPS problems, and well done
Hello, OK, The WWW Cups tool is broken again - trying to add a printer get a message from Netscape about broken pipe. This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does I have to exit Netscape and re-start it. Very intermittent. KUPS works great, but has a SMALL bug. When adding a SMB printer who's share has a space in it, it's not seen by the "scan network" function. Clicking on the computer says that there is no printer. If you add the printer anyway, it works fine. Adding printers who have a share name without a space works great. The print driver for the Xerox M750 works pretty well, with the things I've used it with so far. V.
[Cooker] Cups
Has read the doc about CUPS and did an install of CUPS as said. (doc Cups and CUPS News (2)) After the install I couldn't print anything, kwrite, kedit, staroffice51, etc... Only the test page of course. So after many try's I decided to UNINSTALL all of CUPS. Now, nothing changed; can no more print at all. When tryng to do a printer-install with printerdrake he's looking for the cups-drivers and stops. Can't install the cups-drivers without installing cups. Do any one have this pb ? And how to resove it ? Thanks Eric MC -- Fried's 1st Rule: Increased automation of clerical function invariably results in increased operational costs.

Hi all! I'm building a cups-server for my department at the university. Since there are many computer using cups, I still cannot avoid that in the server's printer list would not appears all of the printers many many times. In other words, I wish that all the client would see ONLY the queues that I define on my server, but my server automatically browse the whole network for other cups server and... I see the same printers 20 times, for example hp4000 hp4000@pc1 hp4000@pcn that's not very nice! :-( Is there a way to avoid that behaviour? Claudio

Thanks for understanding the problem. I will try what you say.
However, things are not quite that simple, because the printer on the
CUPS server as viewed from the non-printer machine just disappears
after a server OS change/reboot, and the server goes unreachable (the
network is all OK). This is a crippling bug that I keep striking all
the time and I know of no fix or way around other than to reinstall
all the 8 RPMs. Obviously not acceptable.
It limits me to using Windows and SMB on the server, since the SMB
printer persists across rebooting of either machine. The CUPS lp
printer does NOT persist. Have you found this too?

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.

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").

[Cooker] CUPS deficiencies.
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. 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? Further, xpp makes an incorrect default printer selection (the bullet). Surely it should NEVER select an inaccessible printer as the default printer? -- Regards, Ron. [AU]

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.

Use the K - Configuration - Printing - CUPS WWW Admin - Printers - Configure Printer to set Printing Quality, RET, Double-sided, Page size, Paper type, Banners. That's pretty close to full support (except for beyond 600 x 600 dpi, which RET may be doing anyway). Is there an ink-drying light? Why would you want to interfere with its normal operation? -- Regards, Ron. [AU]
Re: [Cooker] Cups & HP 970Cxi
I have the 970Cxi also, and need full support. I print alot and the 970Cxi supports 2 sided printing, but needs the software to tell it to.

[Cooker] Cups & HP 970Cxi
Till, Do you know if anyone is working on a GIMP-Print Driver for the HP Deskjet 970Cxi? Background: The standard CUPS driver (Foobar + cdj970) is max 600 x 600 dpi. The Windows HP latest-downloaded software will only print 2400 x 1200 in Portrait, crashes in Landscape. All 2400 x 1200 is stated to need 400MB of hard disk space, which it has on C:\. Bug: An attempt to remove this printer using menu-item Kups CUPS Admin failed - removed it from the display only. Rebooting and reloading the display shows it is still there. -- Regards, Ron. [AU]
[Cooker] Cups issue
It seems like every time I do a cups package freshen, cups is disabled. This is mildly annoying, but easy to fix with a chkconfig cups on. Can the package updater be modified to not turn it off?

You're quite right, Ron - I hadn't tried to change the page size - but then you don't have to. At the bottom of the Print dialog, in PostScript Options, select "Fit to Page" and it'll do just that - if your printer is A4 as mine is too, it prints A4 perfectly. That's how acroread works - it doesn't let you alter the original in any way, while you can view and print as you like.

If you are in the USA, that is true. Default print setup is Letter, 8.5 x 11 inches. However, if you change the Paper from Letter to A4 (say), it still leaves the page size at 8.5 x 11 inches, with the result that it won't print. Manually change the page size to 8.27 x 11.69 inches and you are in business again. Since Acrobat is proprietary software, Mandrake cannot patch it (no source) and make a mdk RPM. Only Adobe can correct this original coding error, and until they do, they cannot expect any use of their Linux Acrobat Reader 4 to print out documents outside the USA. -- Regards, Ron.

[Cooker] CUPS question
Hi, all. Question regarding CUPS printer configuration: It used to be with printtool that you could select a local printer, like the LaserJet 1100 for example, and set some of the printer parameters like top & bottom margin. I can't see how to do that now with CUPS. Anybody know how?
