I'm using a recent - svn 2016-12-21- edition of the book on x86_64. I
installed proprietary brother printer drivers for my HL-2240D laser
printer - which involved setting up a quasi-multilib situation (can run
but not compile 32-bit -- these drivers require 32-bit libc). Eventually
got to the point i could print PDF files but not plain-text or a test
page. Recompiling cup-filters with the option
--with-pdftops-path=/usr/bin/pdftops instead of
--with-pdftops-path=/usr/bin/gs fixed it.
Actually, I've had this problem too, but I thought it was just my Dell
Printer. I think that needs to be changed... Bruce?
FWIW, I had this problem too...
Can someone who has the problem open a ticket. I don't recall an issue,
but I haven't updated cups-filters in a while.
If we now need --with-pdftops-path=/usr/bin/pdftops, do we need that
options at all?
I'll note that I think printing is one of the more difficult capabilities
to get right. This is what I have in my notes for an HP Officejet (ink)
printer:
"To get printing to work, install in this order:
cups
ghostscript ! (not just runtime)
cups-filters
gutenprint
sane (for hplip)
net-snmp (for hplip, not in blfs)
hplip (not in blfs)
If using hplip, not sure if gutenprint is needed.
hplip needs net-snmp
install fails with man pages (needs sedscript whatever that is)
hplip needs sane
Set parallel port capability!
Build hplip with:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-pp-build
make
sudo make install
Restart cups after changing printer config?"
