You may want to look at https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Printing, section "Work in Progress"
And also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404 "CUPS >= 1.6 has major incompatible changes. Do not use CUPS >= 1.6 on production systems!"
for the reasons *why* new newest official version is 1.5.4. Basically, our CUPS Apple overlords removed many of the non-OS-X features from CUPS core distribution that Linux depended on.
Be careful,

Thanks, Joachim. Hmmm - Ken's idea starts to sound like good one. Sounds

Rodney,
Take a look at the Archlinux cups package. I'm running cups 1.7.3-4 on my server at work, so they obviously solved the issues somehow.
See:
Thanks, David and John. Yes, I found Johannes' repository and tried 1.7.3 from there, along with cups-browsed and cups-filters, but because the config options are now split betweeen cupsd and cups-browsed (at least, I'm assuming that's the cause) it broke printing via samba (although local printing, even using cups-pdf, still worked). That's probably solvable, but I ran out of time to try to troubleshoot that, so I've reverted to 1.5.4 until such time as I can get the config sorted. I note to that in 1.6/1.7 support for pushing Windows drivers to clients is deprecated and no longer supported (not a big deal for a small home network, which I run as a domain a) because I can and b) as a learning exercise0 but probably not great if you're maintaining a large network with a large number of Windows workstations. Thanks for everyone's suggestions and help; I'll do more playing when next i have time. :) -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
