Package: cups-client
Version: 1.3.8-1+lenny7
Hi,
I've been trying to install the cups windows drivers, and it
failed if I didn't add other drivers.
I had those files:
# ls -l /usr/share/cups/drivers/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 803 Apr 20 2006 cups6.inf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 72 Apr 20 2006 cups6.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12568 Apr 20 2006 cupsps6.dll
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13672 Apr 20 2006 cupsui6.dll
And then I get the message:
No Windows printer drivers are installed
Looking at a strace, I see:
access("/usr/share/cups/drivers/pscript5.dll", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
access("/usr/share/cups/drivers/ADOBEPS4.DRV", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
access("/usr/share/cups/drivers/x64/pscript5.dll", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
write(2, "No Windows printer drivers are in"..., 42No Windows printer drivers
are installed!
) = 42
If I also added the following files from a windows XP it worked:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 728576 Apr 14 2008 ps5ui.dll
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16560 Jan 24 2007 pscript.hlp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1060548 May 15 2007 pscript.ntf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 543232 Apr 14 2008 pscript5.dll
And it copied the cups drivers along with it.
I'm not sure if it's always required to have all those files.
I was under the impression that those 4 files were only needed
for the "microsoft postscript drivers". Maybe the manpage can
be clarified? It mentions that all 8 files in the cups section,
but it doesn't make sense to me.
PS: The manpage points to:
http://www.cups.org/windows/
Which doesn't exist (anymore), instead it's
http://www.cups.org/software and you need to pick the "Windows
drivers". And it's not obvious that the "source" actually
also contains the binaries. (Or you can use the .rpm and
use alien.)

This dead link disappeared from cups 1.7.0; thereby closing this bug as
fixed in 1.7.0-1.
