I installed cups and xfce. What more do I need?
For printers available on the network as in a typical “enterprise”
setup, nothing more: the “print” dialog in Evince and similar tools
will
discover it and do the right thing.
In
https://gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Services.html#Services
I did not find a service declaration for CUPS.
What is the next step?
For a locally-connected printer you’ll certainly need a CUPS daemon
running, indeed. I’m not sure exactly what it takes, but it would
clearly be a worthwhile addition!
OK. I gave it a try and this is how far I got:
The manpages and documentation on cups.org is rather useless regarding
installation and formatting of the config-files.
The package installs corrupt config-files according to
$ cupsd -t
"/gnu/store/qs3xymcsgxa68i8m188261rhxsszx7za-cups-2.1.0/etc/cups/cups-files.conf"
contains errors.
I have a running working installation of cups 1.7 on my trisquel 7
machine. I tried copying the working (very similar) configs from there
which the trisquel-cupsd report as 'OK'.
=> It did not help and the error is not as detailed as I would like
and there is no debug option is seems.
Is there a good free non-apple-owned alternative to CUPS I could try
instead?
The cupsd.conf I tried is attached. I now also tried this as root and
testing with cupsd afterward without any succes:
cp -r /gnu/store/qs3xymcsgxa68i8m188261rhxsszx7za-cups-2.1.0/var/* /var/
Maybe the error is that the socket referenced in cupsd.conf is missing:
"# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
Listen localhost:631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock"
The socket is missing in the store and from the path above. I have no
idea yet how to create it manually.
