Re: Printing with N900
I've tried the other connection methods as well. No luck.
Maybe you could take a look at: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/colla...tabasefoomatic and compile the filters for maemo. I don't know how to do it. :) |

Re: Printing with N900
Hello
I'm keen to test this. However, I have a few questions before I do. I apologise if have missed/mis-understood something in any of the previous posts have answered these points already - done my best to go through the thread. - Should all three CUPS packages be installed that appear in the repository? When installing with F-ApMan, a message pops up saying "you are about to remove a critical system package," I tend to err on the side of caution so cancelled the installation. There's no info on the package page about what this does. - What is "mp-fremantle-generic-pr" and if removed, what problems arise? - 'fakedebconf' is being replaced (#127) - does the new item conflict with anything? Where can I find out what problems might occur with this swap? - Not sure which posts in this thread relate to the current version but there is mention of additional drivers (ghostscript?) and library objects. Is everything like this all bundled together or linked to as a dependency by the app mgr? If not, what extra items are required? - There seem to be a number of mentions of configuring settings through the terminal. Is this still required? Are they the same as in previous posts (e.g. #56)? - By installing this, can one use/install local printers or, does the printer need its own IP address as part of a network to work with CUPS? - If local printing is possible, has anyone got it to work yet? And, how was the data sent to the printer (USB, BT, WiFi, other?)? - How much rootfs space do the packages for maemo-CUPS need. - This is a longshot: is it possible to send print data using IR, and if so what needs to be done to set it up? I the software doesn't exist yet I'd still be interested to know if it's feasible. Oops, that was quite long! Hope these aren't completely senseless and that I get some useful replies! Very grateful printing is being moved forward. Thank you. |
Re: Printing with N900
You should install all packages inside cups, except the -dev packages.
mp-fremantle-generic-pr is replaced by CSSU, not cups I think. fakedebconf is replaced by debconf. No problem. You have nothing to do in the terminal. After installing cups, all dependencies are also installed. After the installation reboot, or just enter /etc/init.d/cups restart in the terminal. Then you are able to set up printers with the webbrowser. Use http://localhost:631 for that. The rootfs space is not critical, the packages are optified. There are no backends for IR, IU don't know any for cups, so this will be not possible. |
Re: Printing with N900
@Mase: Thank you for answering my verbose questions.
I'm using Titan's v0.46 at the moment but not put the CSSU on yet. I'll have a look through the CSSU thread for any info on that generic package. It's just I didn't know what it was and the install said that a "critical package" was being removed, which was a bit an alarm bell! Perhaps it'll be ok? Worst case scenario, I can always flash! Yeah - thought the IR would be mere wishful thinking. How have other testers connected to local printers? Assume v0.46 and h-e-n is required for USB printing? I'll report back when I've got some output or errors, if I make a hash of it! |
Re: Printing with N900
Not having much luck installing. Active repos: extras, extras-testing, sdk and nokia binaries. Libpaper1 is in the sdk, which is required. I've probably forgotten to enable/disable something but here is the log.
The update mentions a conflict but not sure how to resolve. Using apt-get is fairly fruitless because it doesn't find the CUPS packages. If anyone has any ideas, please do share them. On updating repositories: Code:
--- 2011-03-23 09:48:52 ---Code:
/usr/bin/apt-get -qsy --allow-unauthenticated -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=/opt/fapman-cache/sources.list -o Dir::State::lists=/opt/fapman-cache/lists -o Dir::Etc::sourceparts="" --auto-remove install cups cups-bsd cups-client |
Re: Printing with N900
Why do you have sdk and nokia binaries in the catalog?
I think, the upstart - busybox dependency problem comes from an updated upstart package. I have the same on my device. |
