Re: Printing with N900
 
Well, I was finally able to get your archive.

I have just overlapped my packages of gtk by yours, leaving my leafpad package, and now I can see the printers in leafpad ...

Now I ask you, what have you do to compile the gtk lib with cups printing support ?

I have explained what I have do exactly on my side, and I can understand where is the mistake :(

I like to be able to compile by myself and understanding what I do ...

Mase, any advice ?

EDIT :

DAMN !!!

Comparing our packages, the 'libgtk2.0-0_2.14.7-1maemo34+0m5_armel.deb' on my side doesn't have the part :

/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/printbackends
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/printbackends/libprintbackend-cups.so
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/printbackends/libprintbackend-lpr.so
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/printbackends/libprintbackend-file.so

I have to find why I do not have this part on my personal compilation ...

As I said, I only rebuilt with libcups2-dev installed, nothing else.

For all your ppd problems, why don't you take the ppd files from
a linux installation. If you don't have linux on pc, try copying it from
a live cd like ubuntu or whatever.

I have also rebuilt with libcups2-dev installed but that doesn't end like on your side ...

I have no more problem about ppd on my side, I have also explained how I fixed the problem for the requirement of external 'foomatic-rip' binary.

Ok, I must admit I'm not able to fix the 'foomatic-filters' package,[...]
I have find the ppd on the Linux OpenPrinting site.[...] the ppd was modified [...] because if I extract ppd from the windows driver, then this one don't require the 'foomatic-rip' command.

I'm feeling quite stupid because I can't even get a test page to print. The filter problem is stopping all print jobs from proceding. How should I edit the ppd to get things working?
> I removed "foomatic-rip" from lines 36 & 37 of the generic ppd file, which stopped the pre-print message about the filter but now I get this error!

What's the difference between one of these and the ppd files found in HPLIP? Is there an associated filter?

I had a look a the Debian site and there're a few packages which which appear to contain filters and these ppd files (Text processing). Does anyone know if there's anything in one of them that could be used to help me out?

I did never use hplib, because I neverf owned a HP printer.
What about the foomatic ones? I tried the ppds from
turboprint. They worked well.

The 10th vote is missing for weeks. If the packages work for you,
please give a vote.

There are three links to vote at, one for cups, one for the client, and one for bsd-ish plugin.

The results are stored in ~/PDF/.

Your build of cups-pdf is not in the repos, only the old build, which doesn't work with cups...
