Re: Printing with N900
 
The new packages seem to work.
Purge all cups and ghostscript packages incl. libraries..
Then install the new packages and reboot.
To print from abiword or leafpad, you have to install the gtk+, abiword
and leafpad packages I posted in this thread.
cups-pdf is not yet compatible with this packages.
All this works for me. Please test and report!

Edit: The autobuilder has problems with my new ghostscript packages.
Until I have found the problem, use the attached packages of ghostscript.

Do NOT use the package version 4! It will mess up your cups installation.

Solution for not showing the "Add printer" button

Modification of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf with
<Location /admin>
AuthType BasicDigest
AuthClass Group
AuthGroupName cupsadm
Encryption Required
Order allow,deny
Allow @LOCAL

Did not make it available, either.

Hi rotoflex.
I had the same problem months ago.
I'm still running the Cups server from EasyDebian. So I fiddled around with that settings for lppasswd and also /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. For me, lppasswd was sufficient.
But to Your problem, that the web interface loads and You can log in, but the "Add printer" button is not there.
It's just not there, right? Do You see the bold?

I found after some heavy installation/deinstallation orgy, that the adflashblock-css just blocks the Ad(d printer)!
After removing that piece of soft, the Cups interface worked as expected. I dunno know about interferences of Adblock Plus, as I did not want to test it any further.
Hope, this helps.

The ghostscript package problem is solved. They are now in
extras-devel. There shouldn't be any more problems with the
packages.

Mase:

The issue of no access to Add Printer was solved via information from peterleinchen.

localhost:631 displayed the Add Printer option when accessed from Firefox, but would not from MicroB. I do not know if the AdBlock Plus plugin is responsible for blocking it from MicroB, because AdBlock Plus fails to uninstall from MicroB's "Options" panel. This seems to be related to the PR1.3 upgrade. This issue will probably need to be addressed before an expectation of easy mainstream printer installation is reasonable, since many users may have only MicroB.

At any rate, the localhost:631 Add Printer interface works with Firefox, & I was able to add a printer.

I have not yet added your latest packages in extras-devel, as I am trying to determine the actual status of the previous work outside of the MicroB problem.

@rotoflex
You don't have to install all gtk+ packages. libgtk... should be enough.
These packages are only a workaround. The maintainers have to build
them against libcups2. Skip the packages where you get errors.

I can add a printer with microb.

How do I install only libgtk from your .deb ?

Re: Printing with N900
 
dpkg -i libgtk*.deb
Remove the -dev packages first. They are not needed on the device.

I also deleted the doc package as you mentioned earlier.
