Any ideas ? Thanks.
Get gnu tar as described in http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howt...from_mmc_card/

Copying the relevant info from that page (remember you have to be root):

Code:
The following command will generate dire warnings and prompts, requiring you to type YES. However, -d tells apt-get to only download the package and not install it, so it's safe to ignore those warnings and type YES..

# apt-get -d install tar
# cd /var/cache/apt/archives/
# mkdir /tar-temp/
# dpkg -x tar*.deb /tar-temp/
So the command to unpack the cups archive will be
Code:
/tar-temp/bin/tar jxvf /path/to/CUPS12.tar.bz2

Nice video, I like the beard :)

Was that abiword?

Have you tried XFCE, you can print pictures from gqview, (Image Viewer), very nice!!

Again great video, PRINTING IS A REALITY, now we just need more apps supporting this.

The most logical/critical one I can think is the web browser... The second important ones are PDF-viewer and Image viewer.

Anyone using XFCE and wanting to print pdf files


http://penguinbait.com/epdfview.gz

this is a single executable to replace the file in /usr/local/bin

this will add the printing option in epdfview


gunzip epdfview.gz
rm /usr/local/bin/epdfview
mv epdfview /usr/local/bin

Even more selective - stick with docpurge's current behavior except for CUPS directories:

Open /usr/sbin/docpurge with your favorite text editor (vi, nano, ...). Find the part near its end which reads:
Code:
# Real hackers don't read docs.
rm -rf /usr/share/doc/* /usr/share/man/* /usr/share/info/*
and replace it by:

Code:
# Real hackers don't read docs.  But let CUPS survive them:
for dir in /usr/share/doc/* /usr/share/man/* /usr/share/info/*; do
        case "$dir" in
                /usr/share/doc/*cups*) ;;
                *) rm -rf "$dir";;
        esac
done

great job, I just assumed it was a binary....

Re: HOWTO - Printing From the Internet tablet to Network Printers
 
I've done a deb file of the .tar.gz - it's experimental in the sense it's the first deb I've ever done and might screw up your tablet and your mind :-)
However seems to work for me.
http://www.debernardis.it/n800/cups12_armel.deb
After you install it you have to setup ld.so.conf and issue ldconfig and start the cups daemon as described in the first post of this thread... maybe I should code that inside the deb, but I'm mostly lazy

I'm not sure if this is something new or not, but I noticed bluez-cups listed in red pill mode... a bluetooth printer driver for CUPS.

Hey Guys and Gals:

I just loaded this (no big deal, but I did first try the .deb and it didn't work), so I went back to the original instructions. No errors, and fired up my old trusty version of Abiword 2.2.7 (2.4.6 basically doesn't run on the 800, and also doesn't support printing, I believe) and voila!

This is truly great work! Thanks everybody, for another step forward!!!
