I now believe this is the cause for something I've seen twice: a Fedora 30
T470s switching off even though battery is reported as 50%.

Have you looked at the SMART data for these drives? It might be worth
paying particular attention to the "Reallocation Event Count" and
"Reallocated Sectors Count". If the first is larger than the second (i.e.
there were failed reallocation attempts), it could explain the filesystem
corruption.

Here is another experience of chirping, and why I mentioned those SMART
values specifically:

There's no need to file another bug report. However, it would be useful

- any PDF that triggers the problem

Which scanning application for colour-profiled scanner?

2015-03-20 Thread Tim Waugh
Hi,

I've used gnome-color-manager to generate an ICC profile for my 
scanner using an IT8.7/2 target I ordered. The next step, obviously, 
is to scan something.

I was trying to work out how to set up xsane to use the profile I'd 
generated, but I'm having trouble working it out. I also saw a note in 
the gnome-color-manager commit log that seemed to be saying it 
wouldn't work anyway (too broken).

Is there a scanning application that will automatically ask colord for 
the profile to use, and use it?

Alternatively, is there a recommended scanning application for 
profiled devices?

Thanks,
Tim.

No, that's not related to this.

I would expect to see a message like this when you try printing to that
printer:

This printer claims to support Create-Job and Send-Document, but those
operations failed.
Add '?version=1.0' to the device URI to use legacy compatibility mode.

Didn't you get those messages? If not, perhaps the problem is

You don't see that Server entry in the menu bar?

 Two, Remote Desktop, needs a desktop, and a minimal install has no desktop.

So, you have a minimal install on which you want to run a CUPS server.

You can another machine that does have a graphical desktop (or are you

On Sat, 2014-10-11 at 21:26 -0400, Kevin Cummings wrote:
 I opened the Network Printer expansion,
 but the printer I was looking for was not present, so I decided to enter
 it manually.  While I was trying to figure out how to do that, an entry
 for the printer magically appeared in the network list!  I guess it
 took a little time to find it.

There would have been a spinner in the status bar at the bottom,
similar to how Evolution shows that it's busy with a task. The delay is
due to asking CUPS to report all devices discovered by the backends that
deal with network printing, and it takes a while for them all to report
back.

 It came up with the
 bjnp://ip-address/:8611 URL.  When I selected it, it took a few minutes
 to find and install the proper print driver, and not long after that,
 I had printed a test page.   10 minutes!

This delay is largely disk-bound: CUPS has to read all the PPDs and run
the dynamic drivers (foomatic and gutenprint).

 Great job.  It would have been nice if this could have all been done
 automatically with CUPS finding all the right drivers automatically (ie,
 not having to install the cups-bjnp and cnijfilter-mg5500series RPMs
 myself), but, otherwise, a grand job of easing the installation!

If I understand correctly, cups-bjnp is the backend that discovers the
printer. So there's no way to know in advance that it needs to be
installed; it would have to be installed by default.

You could try using the printing troubleshooter:

That will try to diagnose the problem, and if it can't work out what the

So the first thing I would say is: don't change anything! Let me collect
some information first, so I can fix the problem.

Please follow these steps:

1. Start from having rebooted, with no printers configured

2. Enable cups verbose logging like this:

su -c 'cupsctl --debug-logging'

3. Add a printer the way you normally do

4. Now reboot

5. Verify that the configuration has been lost.

6. Run this command: cat /etc/cups/printers.conf; date

7. Finally, disable verbose logging:

su -c 'cupsctl --no-debug-logging'

After following these steps:
* what did 'cat /etc/cups/printers.conf; date' say?

 Ok, not complaining to anyone on this thread, but I would love to see
 the rational for per application printer discovery! That makes

It's not that it's per-application -- rather, it's done in the client
libraries of CUPS (libcups) rather than in the server.

One reason to do it this way is to avoid needing to run a CUPS server on
the client at all, while still retaining automatic discovery.


 Is there a way to get dns-sd to work on a system wide basis? Or is it
 per application only? 

I'm not sure what you mean here.

 If it's per-application I'm guessing I'll have to do the latter
 because cups-browsed doesn't appear to be available on F18...

If you're using F-18 clients and want things to work as before, use
CUPS Browsing. For that you'll need to enable cups-browsed on the server
and configure it to announce printers using the CUPS protocol rather
than DNS-SD.

 After upgrading my wife's laptop (F18) can no longer discover the

For clients using CUPS  1.6, i.e. anything before Fedora 19, if you
weren't already using DNS-SD for discovery then you'll need to change
something.

In Fedora 19, CUPS only uses DNS-SD natively for discovery. The way it
works is that the *client application* now does discovery, so e.g. your
GTK+ application will discover shared CUPS queues via DNS-SD when you go
to print.

If you cannot using DNS-SD for some reason, you can still use the CUPS
Browsing protocol as used by CUPS  1.6. It is available via the
cups-browsed service provided in the cups-filters package. On the
server, configure /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf with e.g.
BrowseLocalProtocols CUPS; on the client, configure it with
BrowseRemoteProtocols CUPS. Alternatively use BrowsePoll my.server
on the clients, to get them to periodically interrogate the server.

CUPS printer discovery is now done in the client library, libcups. That
means that, for example, the GTK+ print dialog will do the discovery
when the dialog is presented.

The discovery mechanism in Fedora 19 is DNS-SD (using Avahi). Previous
releases also supported CUPS Browsing -- if you need this, you'll need
to configure and enable the cups-browsed service. The configuration
file for cups-browsed is /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf (see the
cups-browsed.conf(5) man page).

If you aren't using hpcups already, it indicates that the relevant

 added it.  But the SS:P was only willing to configure it with the IP
 Address localhost.  Not surprisingly, printing didn't work.
 
 I even tried telling SS:P the printer's IP address, but it ignored
 that and used localhost.

That's odd.  What output does this command give?:

su -c 'lpinfo -l -v'

(I'm hoping it lists the network printer there...)

If you use system-config-printer, or its troubleshooter, you might find

From the troubleshoot log it looks like you fixed the server not
sharing printers part already.  Unfortunately the debug log seems to
have been truncated for some reason so it's difficult to say what went
wrong, although it doesn't look like CUPS thinks anything went wrong at
all (no errors in printer-state-reasons or printer-state-message).

But are the other systems also using lpd to send the job?  Do they
have the same updates applied?  It's probably just a case of comparing
the working systems with the failing system more and more closely until

Ideally the PPD for the printer would already know the margins, and it

For printing *text files*, you can adjust the position of the text on

for the margins.

 however, seem to have figured out that the printer also supports ipp
 (unless maybe I don't know how to interpret this info...), which is the
 way I usually configure it when doing a manual config:

In fact it has identified IPP, using DNS-SD as the discovery mechanism.

Here's the JetDirect interface, discovered using DNS-SD:

   class = network
   info = Brother HL-2070N series
   make-and-model = Brother HL-2070N series
   device-id = MFG:Brother;MDL:HL-2070N series;

This is the IPP interface, discovered using DNS-SD:

   Device: uri = dnssd://Brother%20HL-2070N%20series._ipp._tcp.local/
   class = network
   info = Brother HL-2070N series
   make-and-model = Brother HL-2070N series
   device-id = MFG:Brother;MDL:HL-2070N series;
   location = 

This is the LPD interface, discovered from an SNMP response I would
guess (judging from the fact that it comes with a Device ID and
make-and-model info -- and that the hostname looks weird):

   Device: uri = lpd://BRN_8A1FC9/BINARY_P1
   class = network
   info = Brother HL-2070N series
   make-and-model = Brother HP LaserJet 4050 Series

 model name HP LaserJet 4050 Series is used only for compatibility information 
 for HP printer
   location = 

If this discovery is not working for you in Fedora, it is likely that
the default firewall is the reason.  In order to receive DNS-SD
responses you must explicitly enable them using system-config-firewall.
Also: make sure you have the avahi service installed and running.

For SNMP broadcast query responses there is unfortunately no way to
configure the firewall in order to allow these, short of disabling it.

I think the desktop name of system-config-printer needs to be changed,

As to why there are two such programs: well, the new GNOME one is
intended to be a simple way of easily setting up printers (i.e. no
advanced options).  It's unfortunate that the network printing part of
it is not yet fully functional, as noted here:

Perhaps they have different firewall settings?  There is a long history

e.g. SNMP detection from working correctly.

What does 'lpinfo -l -v' say on the Linux Mint 12 system?

Re: Configuring samba printer on Fedora 14

 So what do I need to configure on F14 to make printer configuration

There seems to be some kind of issue with authenticating using
libsmbclient, the SMB library that system-config-printer uses:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=767673

 On another note there is one thing I find really annoying regarding
 adding a printer, and that's the number of times I'm asked for the
 root password.  I'm asked the root password first when I select add
 printer.  After providing it (correctly) I am asked it again to get
 privileges to access network printers.  I am asked the root password a
 third time when I go to apply the printer configuration.  After I
 enter the password I am again prompted for the root password to get
 additional privileges.  So in total I was asked for the root password
 4 times - this seems excessive.

This is configurable:

Re: Printers : enabled non root? F15\16

 As sometimes it unchecks itself,

 Not wanting to add everyone as a sudo.

Firstly, it would be a good idea to find out why the printer is getting
disabled.  Perhaps there are failures printing jobs -- are they expected
failures?  Is the error policy as you want it to be?  Perhaps 'Abort
job' would be better than 'Stop printer' in your case.

Once you've looked at that, if you still want to allow
enabling/disabling a printer for specific groups of users, configure
polkit.

You can find out the polkit action you need to configure by looking at
'polkit -v'.  In this case, here it is:

org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.printer-enable:
  description:   Enable/Disable a printer
  message:   Privileges are required to enable/disable a
printer, or a class.
  vendor:The openSUSE Project
  vendor_url:http://www.opensuse.org/
  icon:  printer
  implicit any:  auth_admin
  implicit inactive: auth_admin
  implicit active:   auth_admin_keep

You might want to change the active policy (i.e. the behaviour for
local active sessions) to allow for this action.

The pklocalauthority(8) man page explains how to do this.

There is some discussion of this relating to system-config-printer,
along with an example, here:

 Manual set-up work  flawlessly.

In general, USB printers should be discovered and automatically
configured in Fedora.  It can take up to a couple of minutes to do this.
The reason it is slow is that the foomatic printer driver database takes
a very long time to load (but work is in the pipeline to speed this up).

For the Samsung ML-1610 specifically however, there is no driver we can

Oh, sorry, my mistake.  I hadn't seen the gdi driver listed on that

The foomatic package provides a PPD for using the gdi driver with this
printer, and that's what's happening here.  So the printer *is*
supported in Fedora.

FirewallD is the mechanism for configuring the firewall.  Without that
mechanism running, the firewall cannot be modified by that program
(GNOME System Settings, 'printers' plugin).  It doesn't mean the
firewall is not running, just that it cannot be altered by the program.

The ability to configure network printers using the GNOME System

with system-config-printer (Applications - Other - Printing).

Sounds like there might be a CUPS system on the network which is

Try:

When you connect a USB printer, an attempt will be made to configure a

If the system determines that extra driver packages are required in
order to do this, it will attempt to install them (which *will* require
user interaction).

Does that answer your question?

The way to do what you want is to use the system-config-printer

 output of the legacy DOS based programs recompiled on Linux (Harbour
 project...in my case for recompiling old dbase programs).

To print from the command line, use the lp command.

 I'm unable to configure a printer, connected via usb, under Fedora 15.

What does su -c 'lpinfo -l -v' say, with the printer connected and
