just a question or two:
what's with h-e-n printing via USB now? (My P1505 is GDI or similar sh...)
And how would that all fit into CSSU?
nice work!
cheers

I tried connecting the printer with h-e-n, but my printer as not recognized.
I don't know, if this will generally work. I keep trying.
I don't know, how that all will fit into CSSU. I have problems with the
promotion. Let's hope...

I was able to promote cups-client and its dependencies. Still no luck with
the cups package. But there will be looked at. With cups-client you are
able to print, but you have to use the commandline to add a printer.
Please test, and maybe vote.
Here are modified evince packages:

However you cannot print pictures with it, but pdf documents.
This seems to be a general evince problem. The desktop version
also prints no pictures.

BTW, Is bluez-cups compatible to the recent changes? With the unoptified cups version I got at least a connection but with this version the printer is not found using "search new printer".
printer will work then. I had no need for that to print over network
with a cups server. Even ppds from turboprint work.
Bluez-cups packages are not compatible at the moment.
I will have a look at this, if I get a few steps forward with the
actual cups packages.

Please vote, if it works for you!

Many thanks for your commitment and endurance, mase. :-)
I tried the extra-testing packages of cups and cups_client on a fresh flashed N900 and they again work flawlessly with our company's network printer. So I voted both packages up. I didn't notice any drawback yet despite cups had a conflict with the package "fakedebconf". I removed that package and can't find any problems.
I have no luck with my WLAN network printer at home. I used the .pdd from the Linux driver but Canon printers seem to need the filter pstocanonij for postscript conversion. I copied the filter from my x64 system but that doesn't seem to work. I presume I had to recompile it for ARM. The sources are available but I have no clue how to cross-compile the file... :-(

I think, ppds are not architecture dependent. For Linux printing, I generally
recommend turboprint. It is commercial, but it is worth its money. I could
also use the ppds of tp on maemo.
But there are no more votes yet.

I have installed and set everything up, and to my knowledge everything went fine. But when it comes to installing a printer in cups web client, it complains that it's "Unable to start filter "foomatic-rip" - No such file or directory". The printer doesn't work then. It doesn't seem to receive the works. If i set it up as raw printer, it receives the files but doesn't print it properly.
How to solve this? Has anyone a clue?
Thanks!

@Mase: I've always found when looking for votes, it helps to post the link to get people there faster.

optified cups packages. Look for the cups-pdf-maemoX packages.
The results are stored in ~/PDF/.
