My hack approach was drowning in permission problems,
so I went into cupsd.conf and set everything wide open
(which violates everything you would ever want to do security-wise,
but my goal was just to 'make this work' :( and go back and sort out
why libpam and the permissions game :rolleyes: are not working later)

allow root
allow localhost
order allow, deny

I had to chmod virtually everything in /etc/cups to 755

here is my cupsd.conf file:

there are possibly other things I neglected to mention,
but my focus was on getting this to work
so if you have problems just ask, I will soon reflash and do the whole thing again from scratch to make sure I have it right.
I am using power-kernel 46 but I do not think that has any effect on things.
I have a few other apps installed but nothing which should have made a difference to cups

cheers

Thanks for figuring this out guys.

After installing cups/cups-client/cups-pdf/gtklp how much rootfs space are you left with?

Regards

56m at the moment,
but this is my test unit and I have been shovelling so that may
due to a lot of other thing (fennec was big)

I have (in addition to the cups/gtklp/libpam) on my test unit the following:

fennec
opera
gps recorder
mc
claws-mail
conky
mypaint
freoffice
gnumeric
xtide
leafpad
sketch
advanced clock plugin
filebox
fapman
PyGTKeditor
Canola (don't even remember loading this one or why !)
PDF reader
gps data logger
notes
evince
panorama
vumeter
copernicium
rootsh

but you don't need any of this to for cups (i think?)

Re: Printing with N900

no. finally able to do command line printing after soft linking the backend folder.

nice work you guys. this brick/phone keeps improving

Re: Printing with N900

There is still the problem, that the cups install script cannot execute
getcwd. That's the reason, that the symlinks are not made.
I recompiled leafpad and removed the --disable-print. However after
ctrl-p no printers are listed.

Re: Printing with N900

You don't need to install the whole cups server to print with a network printer.
I described in the first post.

Re: Printing with N900

I have rebuilt leafpad and removed the printer disable in the rules file.
However there is not print entry in the menu and ctrl+p opens a printer
dialog without any printer listed.
I don't know, how to enable printer support here. Maybe the gtk libs
have been build with printing disabled.

Re: Printing with N900

Got it!
I repackaged gtk+2.0 with printing support. I've incremented the package version
to avoid the update to the original version. You don't have to install the dev and
doc packages on the device.
http://rapidshare.com/files/448095611/gtk_2.0.tar.gz

Here is leafpad with printing support. You have to press ctrl+p to open the
printing dialog. There is no menu option to enter it.

Re: Printing with N900

As pictureviewer I wanted to rebuild evince, but I failed with gnome-doc-utils,
which is not installable and I could not rebuild it. Any other suggestions (must be
gtk2.0)?
Also gnumeric did not provide printing after a rebuild.

Re: Printing with N900

Keep on mase !
And thanks. :)
