#Debian #Cups #Firefox pretty interesting #problem. Cups on my workstation hat one printer defined, but set another cups server in client.conf. All software shows the local printer and printers from the main cups server.

Firefox 128.11.0esr only shows the one local printer.

Is there something in miss in Firefox setup?

Habe gerade einen #Mastodon Post gefunden, den ich mir #ausdrucken wollte.

Ja ausdrucken!
Habe dazu extra den #Druckertrieber in meinen #CUPS reingefummelt...

Aber wie druckt eins einen Mastodon Post, dass es gut aussieht?

Und was wollte ich jetzt so dringend #drucken?
Etwas, das ich mir jeden Tag in Erinnerung rufen will: chaos.social/@gentlemanlover@k

#FotoVorschlag: Nicht alle #Tassen im Schrank // You no longer have all your #cups in the cupboard (This is a German expression to say you're not playing with a full deck or not quite right in the head ... In February, incoming German chancellor Friedrich Merz used this expression to refer to people who took to the streets to protest against the far-right. Afterwards, his conservative party's headquarters received thousands of mugs and cups sent from people all over Germany who did not appreciate his charming statement 😑)

Hier meine Lieblingstasse. Die Worte schreie ich auch oft in meinem Kopf, wenn ich an #Merz denke // This is my favourite #mug. And also what comes to mind when I think about Merz

#Tasse #Hase #bunny
A white ceramic mug with a cartoon illustration is shown in close-up. The illustration depicts a small, round, light-brown rabbit with long ears, a grumpy expression, and visible whiskers. It's sitting upright, holding a small, open pink book with the title "WATERSHIP DOWN" printed in black text on the visible page. Above the rabbit's head is a speech bubble containing the swear phrase "FUCKING HELL" in black capital letters. The rabbit appears to be reading the book with a look of dismay or shock. The mug has a standard white handle on the left side. The background is slightly blurred, showing a wooden surface with horizontal grain. A small "AL" signature is visible near the bottom right of the mug. The overall tone of the image is humorous and slightly dark, referencing the often upsetting content of the book "Watership Down".

Looking for #Linux help, if you're so inclined.

I am (gods help me) trying to get a #Brother printer/scanner working in #Debian 12 / #Gnome 43.9 on a #Thinkpad #T480S.

Before a recent reintallation of hte OS, the #CUPS driver used to work for printing but not scanning, *and* the Brother Linux printer drivers used to make the scanner work, too.

support.brother.com/g/b/downlo

But now, neither works, and I get the error message: "Unable to locate printer" (followed by the correct IP address).

Ja moin!

Wenn #CUPS bei Euch spinnt, probiert doch einfach mal Euren #Drucker *komplett* neu einzurichten, also löschen, ggf. nochmal „frische“ PPD-Dateien holen, anderer Druckername damit *wirklich* keine Altbestände genommen werden und dann Daumen drücken.

Für CUPS 2.4.10 unter #Debian trixie (testing) vs. #Kyocera Ecosys PA2100cx war das jedenfalls dann ausreichend. Schätze mal, da hat irgend ein Update irgendwas zerbröselt. Sehr komischer Kram mit „Filter failed“ und so...

Oopsie! 😊

One more CUPS question - the Print to PDF queue, which is based on an ippeveprinter created at startup, puts the queue job number at the start of the output pdf, so I get something like

1-filename.pdf
2-someotherfilename.pdf
etc.

Anyone know where I need to change that to leave the job number off?

I’m off to try more google searches (wish me luck!), but thought I’d ask here as I’ve not found anything yet.

Thanks!

Any CUPS experts here? I want to inject some PostScript near the start of all jobs which come through a certain queue.

The prefilter stuff I found looks like it’s for an earlier version.

It’s an ippeveprinter ”print to PDF” printer, but some jobs need an additional set of PS procedures defined which are being sent as a separate print job. Those procedures never change, so I want to just add them in at the start.

Here is the GSoC project we need a Rust-experienced mentor for:

wiki.linuxfoundation.org/gsoc/

It is Rust bindings for libcups, versions 2.x and 3.x.

We already have some candidates interested in it, so we need the mentor ASAP, to already help us select the best candidate.

Please contact us via the contact channels on the linked project idea page.

And please boost this, thanks.

Hi, anybody here is experienced in Rust (perhaps even also in creating bindings for a C library/API) and would like to mentor a #GSoC contributor for OpenPrinting? The contributor will work a total of 3 months full-time (or 350 hours) in the time from May to November this year on the project and they will get a stipend from Google.

Only additional requirements are a minimum age of 18 and not to want to participate as GSoC contributor this year or in any later year.

@frameworkcomputer #DeepComputing
System is minimized:

$ lpstat -r
-bash: lpstat: command not found
$ man df
This system has been minimized by removing packages and content that are
not required on a system that users do not log into.

To restore this content, including manpages, you can run the 'unminimize'
command. You will still need to ensure the 'man-db' package is installed.
$ sudo apt install man-db unminimize
$ sudo unminimize
...
$ lpstat -r
scheduler is running
$

And #CUPS is back!

@frameworkcomputer @zygoon More news of the #DeepComputing #Ubuntu 24.04 v1.1 update:

- First-time wizard to set up user
- Auto-extension of main partition and file system ("/") to SD card's capacity
- "apt dist-upgrade" works
- Quick timeout of GRUB menu

=> System is much more solid and usable now! Thanks, Yuning!

But one thing got worse:
#CUPS is not installed by default any more (do "sudo apt install cups").
