[opensuse-factory] CUPS update
Is there a CUPS update planned for 10.2? Gimpprint was replaces with gutenprint 5.0 these days and it would be nice to have these new printers/features with 10.2. Also the stp driver for many Epson printers are replaced by a new driver (cannot remember which). -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Suse Linux / open Suse / OPENsuse / OpEnSuSe ... whatever it is ;-) version 10.2 will have CUPS 1.2 and Gutenprint. Note that there are incompatibilities (not backward compatible) both for CUPS 1.1 versus CUPS 1.2 and for Gimp-Print versus Gutenprint. I.e. prefer a new setup from scratch of your printing system and all your print queues.

Known problem. Ghostscript needs to be adapted. Reason: Gimp-Print has a built-in driver for Ghostscript (the "stp" driver). Therefore Gimp-Print stuff is in the ghostscript-library package. Gutenprint does no longer have a built-in driver for Ghostscript. Gutenprint has only an "external" driver for Ghostscript which uses the IJS interface to Ghostscript (i.e. one can update the Gutenprint driver without re-compile and update Ghostscript packages). Some file names in Gimp-Print and Gutenprint are the same. Therefore the above duplicates. It is not decided if we drop the Gimp-Print "stp" driver from Ghostscript to get completely rid of Gimp-Print, or if we keep it for backward compatibility so that existing print queues which use the "stp" driver still work. Up to Suse Linux 10.1 the "stp" driver is used by default if a print queue with the Gimp-Print driver is set up (we have about 600 PPD files which use the "stp" driver). By the way: We appreciate it very much if you test Gutenprint. We only have a few printers to test Gutenprint on our own. In case of problems use our Bugzilla and set the "component" to "printing" so that I get it and/or assign it directly to "jsmeix@novell.com" (don't use jsmeix@suse.de in Bugzilla).

I got the same dependency problem, and then I forced the installation. With my Lexmark Z52 Gutenprint works fine.

Hi, Like Juan I must forced the installation but with a HP 1100 Laserjet it works fine (til now ;-) ) Regards - -- Chema Ollés Usuario Linux: #198057 Linux 2.6.18-rc6-git3-2-bigsmp #1 SMP Tue Sep 12 02:15:05 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFEV0k65SpD7GhbzoRAs+FAJ4pfK6O5hXE7sMJ+hdirrBYP1LARwCgrQbn qDw/BdoRYpSwqt3c4SIWiyk= =1yix -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
