@BruceL, is it actually printing for you?

I won't have access to a printer until late tonight (it's 2pm here). But it acts like it is ready to print. I can try to add a printer, etc. That's why I hope someone will try it out.

Testing would mean: installing 3 debs (cups, lpr, cups-tools), browsing to the control panel using the web browser (http:.//localhost:631), adding a printer, and trying to print a photo or pdf with lpr. (lpr myPaper.pdf).

Sadly, there is a configuration problem. ('Unsupported Format' whenever I try to print anything.) I'll keep working on it this week.

Hmm... Where we can download these debs? 'Unsupported Format' message may occur due to wrong ppd or configuration file of your printer. I will test your build of cups with my HP Photosmart D7263 printer connected with wi-fi router by LAN cable.

fLegmatic, the problem is that I had not included foomatic and ghostscript. I have built and installed foomatic and I am working on ghostscript. So it wouldn't work for you just yet.

Hi BruceL,

thank you for all the work. I'd also be very happy to try this so let me know if you'd need some more hands.

Good luck :-)

It's printing! I just printed a test page, a text file, and a PDF.
Now I need to figure out how to package it all. CUPS can make its own debs. But I need to figure out how to 'en-debify' foomatic and ghostscript.
