Re: Printing with N900
 

Right, but the cups server is not yet
installable with my packages. So you
don't have a webinterface on the phone.
Only installing cups-client works with my
packages.

I get an error following your link: Entry not found or does not belong to you.
Thanks for your work!

Re: Printing with N900
 

The entry belongs to me and is public. But I repeated only, what I wrote above.

I am thinking about, removing the server-parts out of the build process. For me
there's no sense to install the server on the phone, while you cannot connect
a printer directly. I also think, a running server would decrease battery time.
With not installable parts, it can never move to testing or stable. There are
only the libraries needed of the following packages I made:
cracklib2, keyutils, krb5, libselinux, libsepol, openslp and pam.
But the other packages of these are installable. Do you think, they could
be usable for other projects?
The packages cups and cups-bsd can be removed.
What do you think?

Re: Printing with N900
 

The problem is that without the server side, I can't print to network printers without a cups-server elsewhere. I would like (for example) to be able to setup a printer for home, one or two at work, and one at a friends house. They are all network printers, (HP/PS printers). The problem is I can't add the work/friends printers, because they have no cups server running. They're just stand alone printers....

Re: Printing with N900
 

You mean, the server is needed to use samba
printers?
I will see, what I can do to get the server to work.
I will also give a try to cups-pdf and bluez-cups.
But I can only package bluez-cups. I don't have a
bt printer.

Re: Printing with N900
 

Great!

I think leafpad can print also... ctrl + p.

will have a look at other applications.

Re: Printing with N900
 

@Mase, FYI, If you are going to build the server, the hardest problem I had was finding out that it will crash with some of the optimizations that are turned on. Here are my notes on that:

In Makedefs:
Line 143: remove '-pie -fPIE' and remove $(OPTIM)
Line 150: remove '-Os' and remove '-fPIC'

Re: Printing with N900
 

Because I have no windows server, someone could try
smb://workgroup/server/printersharename
as printer URI.
If this works, there is no need for the cups-server.
I took this from here:
http://serverfault.com/questions/108...or-cups-client

Re: Printing with N900
 

Not Windows/SMB, per say, but even direct printing (port 9100) doesn't work. You can't add a printer without a server being there. Using lpadmin to add a printer reports "can not connect to server"...

Is there another way to add a printer to the setup without using lpadmin?

Re: Printing with N900
 

I did not find another way. But what's the problem ading a printer when a server exists?
Or do you mean, you cannot add a printer, if no cups-server is there? Isn't it possible to
add a win shared printer?
