No doubt they will claim that they invented the whole notion of wireless printing (or at least the fanbois will), even though Nokia had some sort of wireless printing thingumajig as far back as at least the E70. But the difference between Nokia's and Apple's version is probably that Apple's work

Well, I have a few problems on that. One is that I can't for the life of me find it's garage. It looks like it was uploaded as a binary image, so maybe it doesn't have one? Second, I've not made/submitted a package, and am not up to snuff on how to do it (even after prodding a bit... it's complex to put it mildly).

Understand, what I did was a hack. Literally all I did was un-ar the debian, un-tar the control files, delete "ba" out of the first line of the postinst script and re-tar/ar the whole thing back into the original debian. I didn't change the content files at all, nor did a re-build anything source code wise. This was purely a config script issue (which is why the MD5 signature for the content tar hasn't changed, so dpkg isn't complaining about it).

Were there a web interface where I could check out/in the script to fix it and trigger a build I would happily do that. If that exists and I just missed it, please do let me know where it is and I'll be happy make the change. But the system I found (requiring a build environment, dependency source packages installed, a key setup for talking to the SCM system, etc) is a little much for me to pick up right now to make a 2 character change... (Especially when the maintainer is active and chatty... )

Just check the sources folder in extras-devel.
My used sources are there.

I had the same problem. Has anyone been able to install cups-pdf?

Thank you Mase for the great work ! ! !

I have been trying to get this working on my N900. I followed the steps given here to install the packages.

But when I try to add printers using http://localhost:631/ It doesn't list any printers.
And I couldn't find lpadmin binary, for configuring from command line. Is there package I missed out while installing ?

After getting this working, I want to add Printing support for FreOffice.

Thanks for your help, I figured it out. I hadn't installed cups-pdf package. After installing, It listed one PDF device. Now It asks for a username/password. I tried root/rootme but it din't work.

Now trying to use lpadmin to configure my printer.

I din't dig in to the reason for the error, But installing this package would allow you to install cups-pdf. Some how apt doesn't find libpaper-uitls package in the repo.
