Programming / Re: Compiling latest samba-server
« on: June 15, 2016, 11:52:02 am »
Hi Greggory,

Any news on Samba 4 ?

I have a Samba client for Netdrive based on Samba 4.x in development. Client currently seems to work fairly well for me, and can connect to servers using SMB2 and above. I have no plans to work on the server side of things right now....

Hey Andy,

Thanks Paul... were you successful in getting Go to work?

I wasn't with the previous version of GCC, however, KO came up with some thread enhancements that might help things - I'll give it another crack when I get some free time.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Elbert,

Thankz for this newer build, great to see it's still be buildable for OS/2  ;)

Interestingly, this was one of the easiest updates in some time. The diff applied very cleanly. I still need to review winnt.c for any changes that may aid us too - but it seems to work OK so far :)

Cheers,

Paul

Programming / Test build of GCC v6.1.0 for OS/2
« on: May 01, 2016, 11:17:42 am »
Hi All,

I built GCC 6.1.0 for eCS and OS/2 - it can be downloaded from http://smedley.id.au/tmp/gcc-6.1.0-os2-20160430.zip

Feedback appreciated!

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Adam,

Okay Paul, well I guess that torpedoes that theory out of the water. :) Well I guess I am stumped as to what is causing the Loadfile temp messages.

Can you change LogLevel to debug2 and generate a log of an attempt to print a testprint, and either attach the log here or email it to me?

Cheers,

Paul

I probably shouldn't have remmed out the Listen /cups/var/run/cups/cups.sock directive but that was giving me errors before because the files are not there, just the certs folder. Maybe that is what this whole mess is about.- the file doesn't exist.

This warning is 100% harmless...

Networking / Re: OS/2: Connect to Windows 7
« on: February 20, 2016, 09:05:14 am »
As I understand it, there is a new SAMBA version in development, and even windows 10 should work with it (until microsoft changes the rules again), but that is about all that I know about it.

I'm working on a Samba client for OS/2 based on the latest Samba 4.x code. The focus here is SMB2+ support. I have no idea how this impacts on windows 10 support, or where you would get the idea that the intent is to support windows 10.

Cheers,

Paul

Hardware / Re: Brother-HL-2035 not printing ? ? ?
« on: January 25, 2016, 02:22:31 am »
David,

I don't think you will ever get the printer to print from OS/2.  It is a win printer (GDI). See here for information http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Generic/Generic-GDI_Printer

Even getting the Linux driver from Brother is a kludge in that all they provide is a cups wrapper to take over and do the processing in the computer since the printer can't.

If you are a programmer you might be able to port the cups wrapper to OS/2 and use it that way.

Looks like the HL-2035 is supported by gutenprint...  It's listed at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/p_Supported_Printers.php

So it should be possible to get this working with CUPS....

Hi Per,

I have used many HP-printers and the latest I've tried is the CP 2025 which works with several of the postscript drivers supplied with eCS. (Actually all of these HP printers have worked with a PS3 driver.) I did try HP LIP some years ago but couldn't make it work at that time and I suspect I'll run into trouble trying it again with this printer. For me it's OK just to use the printing functions from eCS/OS2 as it seems that one can scan to a drive or email, (not sure if I would use fax functions anymore), so if that drive/folder can be easily accessed it would be good enough.

Several HP models have these functions so perhaps someone has tried a similar model?

The point in mentioned the plugin required by hplip was that if a plugin is required for hplip, the printer may not work with the PCL/PS3 drivers on OS/2 - unless the hplip warning is misleading, and the plugin is only required for scanning support....

Hi Per,

Is anyone using this printer with eCS/OS2?
Print languages: HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5c, HP Postscript Level 3 emulation, PCLm, PDF, URF
Sounds promising but I'd appreciate comments.

Interesting.... the HP LIP page for this printer http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/color_laserjet/hp_color_laserjet_mfp_m277n.html states that it needs a proprietary plugin for print, scan and fax support

Hi Dave,

Thanks Paul! I am able to scan using my HP Photosmart C309a multifunction printer using both the network and USB connections with this version.

Great news! Thanks for testing

Hardware / Re: Anyone successfully using Brother HL-5470dw?
« on: December 06, 2015, 03:11:16 am »
Hi Andreas,

CUPS is great for networks with UNIX, but overdosed and oversized for small OS/2 based LAN systems. There's almost no existing documentation for OS/2 port (sometimes called eCups). If you have some idea of a real-life version of cups for OS/2 including useful OS/2 amd DOS/Win-OS/2 application support, working lpr or line printers on local parallel and serial ports.

I don't really see what CUPS has to do with networks. Yes, it can be used to share printers from a central server, but it's also the printing system used on just about every modern linux client, as well as for MacOS....

I have come to hate cups, although work.

Care to elaborate more on this?

Hi,

Hi Paul. I'm using your latest build. I don't know whether there are any compatibility issues with hplip 3.15.11. Changing 3.13.3 to 3.15.11 in hplip.conf doesn't help.

I built hpaio.dll based on hplip 3.15.11 - I just need to test it. I will hopefully have time to test using network connection tomorrow, USB may take more time as I typically run eCS from a VM these days.

OK, a hpaio.dll based on HPLIP 3.15.11 is at http://smedley.id.au/tmp/hpaio-3.15.11-os2-20151205.zip

It works with a network connection here

Hi Dave,

Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol support would be a needed addition for a modern operating system. Devices are moving away from USB mass storage (mounting the device as a drive) as it seems that newer operating systems have lost the ability to lock a file  :) , or more likely users are not allowed to use their devices as they'd like but rather have to use them as the big media companies would like. eg I just picked up a cheap Android tablet and even though the instructions claim it supports USB mass storage, it only actually supports MTP and PTP and the PTP seems newer then camera15 supports.
Options seem to include updating gphoto2 OS/2 support, a project I just found and need to investigate further once github loads for me or porting libmtp http://libmtp.sourceforge.net/ which I just built but has problems on OS/2 and needs further porting and a front end written, basically a minimal file manager.

I built libmtp a while ago - there were some issues with filenames - perhaps due to unicode issues - but I was about to transfer files to/from an android device using the command line. In the pipe dream todo list is to fix the issues and write a netdrive plugin that can use mtp....
