Re: [CentOS] printing on C8S
Hi Fred, can you share a little bit more information? For example, are you using the default Gnome desktop environment? What kind of printer do you have? How is it connected to C8S (USB, Wi-Fi, Ethernet...?) I use Gnome, and it's been a long time since I had to poke around with CUPS. My Brother printer (MFC-9340CDW) is pretty old these days, but still works after I download and install the "Driver Install Tool" RPM from the brother.com website...

[CentOS] printing on C8S
OK, I give up. How do I configure a printer on Centos 8 Stream? I can't find any tools for doing that. further, there doesn't seem to be a cups executable (which should allow setting up a printer) though there ARE a bunch of cups packages installed. Anyone got any clues for me? Thanks in advance! Fred ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Yes, the packages that are present in CentOS Stream 9 repositories reflect what will be available in RHEL 9 when it is released. That's one of the main purposes of CentOS Stream :) We're still developing and changing before the first release so there will be some flux, but I don't expect anything drastic at this point. josh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Do just expect everything that also happened in EL8. Missing devel or sub packages. Striped down s/rpm macros that blocks building fedora packages directly. So, business as usual.

I've done a number of the easier builds now and they went well. Now I'm trying to build a package which requires imake but I can't find it anywhere. I guess imake could be missing because the Xorg stuff is being built without it today? Does anybody know if imake is still used but not shipped or is it not used and built for EL9 anymore?
