Alexander,
Alexander Asteroth 写道:
When the system is restarted and I try to access cups via
localhost:631,
after clicking on some (admin) link to add a printer (or
similar) it
takes 2minutes (exactly) for the page to show up. In
/var/log/cups/access_log and .../error_log numerrous repeated
entries
This sounds like the bug long fixed on core-updates (‘any day now’
:-) that hasn't made it to master yet[0]. A simple
$ sudo touch /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
to create the file in question should work around it for now.
Maybe remember to delete it post-c-u-merge, or don't; an empty
file doesn't waste much space.
I have also another problem related to my printer wich is a
Samsung
SCX-472x-series (accessed over ethernet). On openprinting.org
the
suggested driver is
(https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Samsung/Samsung-SCX-472x)
from
Samsung. So far I used it on debian and arch and it worked
perfect, but
I thik it's non-GPL.
OpenPrinting claims that it's ‘MIT’ but a brief search didn't lead
me to anything resembling source code. Samsung's printer division
being absorbed by HP doesn't help.
I can import only the ppd file for my printer but this refers to
some
filter
Yeah, PPD files are just metadata files for actual
printers/drivers and downloading them separately is usually
pointless.
Any idea how to prodeed to get my printing working?
Not really, I'm afraid. The only Samsung laser printers I've ever
used with Guix worked fine with SpliX. It does not provide a
rastertospl filter, only rastertoqpdl.
The most likely path forward is to find the sources to the
pxlmono{-Samsung,} package if they exist.
I started packaging the Ghostscript Printer Application this week,
which we'll need when CUPS removes support for printer drivers
completely. I'll check whether it contains anything relevant when
I get back. I'm not hopeful.
Kind regards,
