Hello, A very recent update of cups (1.5.4-12.4.1) cause me print problems. I have two computers running 13.1 (KDE). Both are connected via local internet to an HP officejet 6500. Firewall is off. After updating cups this is enabled as expected but not active. Printer is not found and e.g. HP setup is unable to install a printer. If on the other hand the printer is installed via YAST it works as long as the computer is not restarted. Actually the problem exists also with other versions of cups from the Printing repository. Whether cups is active or inactive can be found in YAST and restarting cups makes it active and the printer is available again. I have since reverted to the original version of CUPS (1.5.4-12.1.3). Have other SUSE users noticed any problems? /Ulf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

In my eyes the only good solution is to disable systemd socket and path as done here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=857372#c47 I hope this "fix" for bug 857372 that broke cups will be reverted soon.

By manually editing cupsd.conf and cups.socket in accordance with suggestions by Daniel Pecka towards the end of bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=857372 cups service is enabled and active again. I assume that some kind of patch will appear. Ulf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Not sure if this is related. And you did say "any problems". :) Since at least opensuse 11.3 and cups 1.5.4 it does not properly add local printers. When looking for printer drivers, it returns only "Success" and no path or other information for a ppd. Tried this with several HP and Epson printers and the result is always the same. YaST2 and hplip also fail with the same result. looks like they both use cups to find the ppd's. However, manually adding the paths to the ppd's to the cups config works. cups 1.3.x (Pre Apple) does return the correct ppd's for the printers, not "Success". jd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes you are of course right that there are other non SUSE specific problems. In my case I do get addresses to suggested model specific ppds. But the hpijs one is unable to print landscape and the cups version does not work at all (I only get parts of pages in spite of correct page settings). The solution here is to chose another more general cups driver and ppd. So far it seems to be ok. Previously I did not have this latter problem. (In some cases with other printers I have had to extract the ppds from window drivers) Ulf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
