Installing CUPS on MCP

(1/6) > >>

Neil Waldhauer:
Well, the short answer is to install rpm/yum on MCP, then cups.

But I like the interfaces for Printman and Cupswiz. It makes configuring printers so much easier. I can download these from Alex Taylor's website, and, after installing the prerequisites, I can get Printman to start. Cupswiz initially starts with an error in DosLoadModule, but can be corrected by fiddling with UCONV.DLL and friends.

But, after that, Cupswiz comes up empty. I have both cups and hplip installed, but where did the printer models go? (see attached screenshot)

Martin Iturbide:
Hello Neil

I experienced a similar thing on ArcaOS 5.1, it used to said "Bad", but it got fixed with magic, I don't know how.

Here it is the thread, sorry it does not help: https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,3434.15.html

Maybe it is that cups daemon is not starting.

Hi Neil

Looks like the cups daemon - aka %UNIXROOT%:\usr\sbin\cupsd.exe - is not running.

Do you have the cups daemon in the Startup folder?


Regards

Pete

Neil Waldhauer:
The cups daemon wasn't running. If I start it, and then run cupswiz, I still don't see any printers.

Alex Taylor:
Click on the logo icon on the left of the cupswiz window to bring up the product information. Is the path to CUPS correct?

What does

--- Code: ---<cupspath>\sbin\lpinfo.exe -m
--- End code ---
produce?
