Hi Leslie,

good to know, I thought it's just me being too stupid to press the
right button. For the time being I'll resort to printing to a file and
sending that to lpr, instead of running Win7.

Markus

Hi Markus.

If you do a search in the archives you'll see that some of us have
printing problems with Firefox. Some even suspect that printing in Firefox
is broken.

I myself has not been able to solve my specific printing problems which
include both Firefox but also Libre office.

I'm running Win7 in Virtualbox in order to fix my printing :-(

Thanks a lot. In my case, it meant finding out that you have to rebuild
INDEX, downgrading the cups-base and cups-client port to 1.4.8 and then
rebuidling the chain. Boiled down to 5m of actual work and some more
waiting for the compile ... I have now cups 1.4.8 and am functional with
a Kyocera 1030D connected via usb.

So, thank you again, hava a nice week, cheers

There's a port to do so: portdowngrade. You can use
it to obtain older versions of a port. 

(I've been using it successfully to downgrade xzgv
to a working version.)

With CUPS, I'm don't remember off the top of my head, but I believe there is a 
way
to create a "text only" queue.  You might want to setup a box with CUPS and use 
that
to act as an "intermediary" for the iOS devices.

Ryan,

What does the garbage text look like?  PCL?  or Postscript?  I'm not familiar 
with
the Lanier printers.

Ryan,

I use JetDirect with my Apple devices.  I print to a HP OfficeJet 7310 
all-in-one
with no problems.

I had and older HP Color inkjet (930?) that was hooked up for a while to a 
Fedora
Core box that was using LPD that worked as well.

I keep getting garbage text when I connect to my Lanier here at work… an LD520C.

I used to be able to print to it but never in color… not the end of the world 
but I want to be able to print to it again.

I have a wireless HP printer connected to both Windows and FreeBSD
boxes. Unfortunately, at least as far as I could tell, there is
no way to simply use the Windows' driver. I installed the "hplip" port
and it all, after some experimentation, worked well. It is still not as
easy as printing from a Windows box to a FreeBSD printer, but it does
work.

Polytropon,

Usually, the web page to work with cups issues is

http://localhost:631/

and make changes there if I am not mistaken. But this is after the
access is there for the printer :)

Not specific to FreeBSD, but maybe this help you:

Also read chapter 5.1 of this material.

Obtained by a google search. :-) I can't give better
advice as I'm not a "Windows" person, and I avoid
using CUPS whenever possible (usually by using a
network printer that doesn't need all this stuff),
and due to lack of experience with MICROS~1 stuff
I can't be fully sure that this is what you're
searching for.

The only thing that comes to my mind is that this
seems to be a command line approach - so in relation
of CUPS configuration mainly done through a web
interface today, maybe you could also ask this
question in a CUPS web forum?

cups-client needs to be compiled w/out gnutls as well.

Smooth sailing the second time I tried the portupgrade.  Could very well
be a hardware issue.

ld crashed.  If it is not reproducible, you likely have a hardware issue like 
overheating.

If it is reproducible, include the full command (you've truncated too much 
output) and retry running ld under gdb to see why it is crashing.

The best suggestion would be to ask MAINTAINER of the port, why he disabled
Kerberos support, and maybe better mail him a patch with Kerberos support
enabled in the port :).

For the records:
with latest portstree - some patches have been commited during the last
days - and a
# portupgrade -arf
which took some time, print/cups and print/hplip now will recognize my
USB-printer correctly. ulpt doesn't have to be removed from the kernel,
I tested that. 

Of course permissions for the ugen device have to be set so that cups
can access it.

Thanks to everyone who repaired the ports!

Hm,...yes after some deinstalling/reinstalling and kernel building 
now cups will find this:
hp:/usb/Deskjet_990C?serial=ES0731D00XLG
But when I try to print the test page I get this error message:

(I am running hplip-3.9.8 backend.)

Any more ideas?

You need to create some devfs rules, which live in a file called
/etc/devfs.rules in the HOST system. As an example to get you going, here
is what I use (edited for brevity):

[localrules=101]
add path 'da*'  mode 0664 group operator
add path 'acd*' mode 0666 group operator
add path 'cd*'  mode 0666 group operator

[hide_all=201]
add hide

[unhide_basic=301]
add path null unhide
add path zero unhide
add path crypto unhide
add path random unhide
add path urandom unhide
add path net unhide
add path net/lo0 unhide
add path net/nfe0 unhide

[unhide_login=401]
add path 'ptyp*' unhide
add path 'ptyq*' unhide
add path 'ptyr*' unhide
..

# Devices usually found in a jail.
#
[devfsrules_jail=501]
add include $hide_all
add include $unhide_basic
add include $unhide_login


And then in /etc/rc.conf, you'll need a couple of extra settings:

devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"

jail_jailname_devfs_ruleset="devfsrules_jail"

In your case, you'd want to put the printer device node in either one of
the already defined rulesets, or in a new set which you then include in 
the [devfsrules_jail=501] section.

That was the cause, I had portversion 4. Updating to 5 fixed it. Thanks

Do you have the latest port revision of ghostscript8?  We have tweaked
its dependencies in the last 2-3 commits.  Check that the `Makefile' in
`/usr/ports/print/ghostscript8' includes:

# New ports collection makefile for: ghostscript
# Date created:Tue Jun 10 21:58:54 CEST 1997
# Whom:Andreas Klemm 
#
# $FreeBSD$
#

PORTNAME=  ghostscript8
PORTVERSION=   8.64
PORTREVISION=  5
^^

If the PORTREVISION is not 5, then please update the port and try again.

Try re-installing cups-client and then upgrading cups-base.
I see the same issue when using portmaster, after you re-install the  
dependency it usually builds/installs fine.

Is this by chance a HP printer?  (Particularly, a DeskJet?)

I have seen this particular foomatic error, and the "Works For Me(TM)"
resolution was to install print/foomatic-dp-hpijs

Do you have the lines
lpd_enable="NO"
cupsd_enable="YES"
in your /etc/rc.conf ? 
If not, put type them in and restart cupsd (or reboot your machine and
set /dev/ulpt1 to 0666).

Actually, I was not asking for help on my CUPS problem; I was advising
the OP of the existence of a CUPS administrative reference book that he
might find helpful in solving his problem. I should have made that more
obvious.

I use to run FreeBS but had to give it up to free up a computer to run
Suse Linux. When I can afford to buy another computer, FreeBSD is what I
will run on it. I like BSD operating systems. :-)

In this case you should ask people on a SUSE forum or SUSE mailing list,
shouldn't you?

My printer is attached to Suse, and I run Maple on Suse. I don't think
that Suse comes in a FreeBSD version unless RPMs work with FreeBSD.

Is your printer attached to a SUSE or a FreeBSD machine?
Where do you run Maple - on SUSE or FreeBSD?

I also am having problems printing on Suse 11 with CUPS from Maple
version 12 (Maple, using its own copy of JRT 1.6 finds no printer
services).  There is a new (2008) book on CUPS administration which I will
shortly be ordering from amazon.com since CUPS appears to be the wave of
the future.

What happens when you install /usr/ports/print/foomatic-filters
and restart cups with
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd restart
?

Hello,

I need a whole lot of help with cups-pdf.  I've been wrestling with this
for about a week without success.  There are no error messages when test

printer.  CUPS works fine with other printers.

thanks
Cam

This is how I set up the cups-pdf printer in the web admin page:
device: CUPS-PDF (virtual PDF printer)
make: Generic.  There is no 'Postscript' option per the Readme file
(http://cups-pdf.de)
model: Generic-CUPS-PDF printer.  There is no 'color Postscript' option.

cups-pdf.conf is all default values, except these lines, which are now
commented:
Out /usr/home/Shiner/PDFs
AnonDirName /usr/home/Shiner/PDFs


I use these /etc/devfs.rules:
[system=10]
add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups

Error log from setting up the printer 'server_PDF' - what is the
significance of the inability to write to /var/cache/cups/ppds.dat ?

Hello,

I need a whole lot of help with cups-pdf.  I've been wrestling with this
for about a week without success.  There are no error messages when test
page printed from CUPS web admin but no output either; there are no
error messages from Windows, which is how I plan to use the PDF
printer.  CUPS works fine with other printers.

thanks
Cam

This is how I set up the cups-pdf printer in the web admin page:
device: CUPS-PDF (virtual PDF printer)
make: Generic.  There is no 'Postscript' option per the Readme file
(http://cups-pdf.de)
model: Generic-CUPS-PDF printer.  There is no 'color Postscript' option.

cups-pdf.conf is all default values, except these lines, which are now
commented:
Out /usr/home/Shiner/PDFs
AnonDirName /usr/home/Shiner/PDFs


I use these /etc/devfs.rules:
[system=10]
add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups

Error log from setting up the printer 'server_PDF' - what is the
significance of the inability to write to /var/cache/cups/ppds.dat ?

the only thing i can suggest at this point (since i have the same

Do you have devfs.rules in your /etc directory that has this contained
within:

[system=10]
add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups

There is a whole permissions thing that has to be correct or cups won't
play.

here's a link to that thread:

i haven't had a chance to look into this yet so i don't know if it is a
solution or not.

Thanks much for the hint! I installed a2ps-a4 - workes nicely - and

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/cups/article.html
http://www.math.colostate.edu/~reinholz/freebsd/cups_setup.html

Make sure cups is fired up upon boot:
/etc/make.conf:
WITH_CUPS=YES
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes

Make sure System lpr doesn't get built/installed when you build a new
system/kernel:

/etc/src.conf:
WITHOUT_LPR=YES

Replace system lpr-things with a link to the CUPS equivalents:
cd /usr/bin
for i in lp* ; do mv $i $i.freebsd-original ; ln -s /usr/local/bin/$i $i ; done

Hope this helps,
-ewald

Re: CUPS - no german Umlaut characters

[Peter Ulrich Kruppa]

Ewald Jenisch schrieb:

Hi,

After successfully setting up CUPS I found out a problem wrt printing
german Umlaut characters: Whenever I try to print a file with umlaut
characters the file is only printed up to not not including the first
umlaut characters. This happens for example when I take a text file
with umlaut characters and try to print it via lpr.

On the other hand, when I've got a web-page containing umlaut
characters under Firefox3 and print that page I get the complete page
- including umlaut characters.

Any ideas how I can get my umlauts to print via lpr?

Try some sort of filter like print/enscript:
# enscript your_file
should get your Umlaut's.

Greetings,

Uli.



Thanks much in advance for your help,

There is a flag for cups that should disable the commands in the base
system. Before installing cups you can add the following line to your
/etc/make.conf:

   CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=YES

And to prevent reinstallation during a system upgrade you can add the
following line to /etc/src.conf:

   WITHOUT_LPR=YES

Uwe

If I recall correct you can you use the following in /etc/make.conf

CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes

Truly sad that it took  me this long to get to this,  but thanks for the
tip.  I installed that port and everything indeed does work much better.
Took me some doing but I've finally got my LJ4+ printing.  Cool!  Now,
though, I've got to go and buy a new toner/drum :-(.

It's been a while since I've done a virgin cups install so I'm not real
current on what it might be like now. You start out with installing the
/usr/ports/print/cups metaport and this should pull in a few other sub
ports as dependencies.

The port cups-pstoraster is what coverts postscript print output into
PCL, utilizing (IIRC) one of the ghostscript ports. Perhaps your install
may be incomplete. In the past I've just installed the metaport and it
happily sucked everything else in automagically.

Re: CUPS: cannot see printer from various program

[Laszlo Nagy]

Hello Laszlo,

You might want to add the following lines to /etc/make.conf

CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes
NO_LPR=yes
WITH_CUPS=yes

And rebuild the application you want to print from.

(The above was found on the excellent guide at 
http://www.math.colostate.edu/~reinholz/freebsd/)

Thank you! I already have a running system, so I had to

setenv WITH_CUPS
cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20
make deinstall
make install clean


I do not fully understand why it is done this way. Most users - 
including me - are going to install gnome2 first, and most likely CUPS 
is not installed by that time. It is also true that many users who 
install gnome2 will have a printer and want to use it. So I would 
recommend to create a make option "[X] CUPS support" for gtk20, or at 
least for gnome2. It was quite hard to find information about this issue 
on the internet! Should I post a PR for this? (It is not a real bug but 
I think it causes problems for many users.)


Thanks,

 Laszlo

The printer is Epson Stylus Photo R265. I'm using gutenprint 5 and CUPS. 
The test page prints well from CUPS. I can also print images and web 
pages from firefox, because the "CUPS/R265" printer can be selected in 
the print dialog of firefox.


However, when I open an image from eog (eye of gnome), the only printer 
destination I can choose is "LPR". Which is bad, because this is a 
printer server with diskless clients, and the users must be able to 
select print options from the GUI.


The system is FreeBSD 7.0. My girlfriend had the same problem with 
Ubuntu before, but not with kiwi, so it might not be related to FreeBSD.

On the other hand, some of us, like myself, find it a bit...
Arrogant? ...if some port touches your system config files without
asking. And simply printing it on the output at the end of
installation isn't enough since it might get lost if an other port is
built right after the one printing out the message. I don't know if
there is an optimal way...

Hi again Sean,

Add the lines, make reinstall and see if Gnome picks it up..

information.


Please let the list know if it helps!

I got it fixed, I ran "make rmconfig-recursive" on gutenprint and CUPS and 
rebuilt them making sure gutenprint was set to use CUPS. this forced some 
other stuff to work and now it actually has the postscript driver listed for 
my printer and it fully works in gnome now. never had to touch 
/etc/make.conf.


I find it kind of self defeating for the ports if you HAVE to add stuff to 
the /etc/make.conf file for it to work without any documentation telling you 
to do so or not doing it automatically (Like PERL did)

Hi Sean,

I assume you have cups-pstoraster installed? It should be installed when 
installing CUPS itself.


If you built Gnome from source you should have this in /etc/make.conf

CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes
NO_LPR=yes

i have cups-pstoraster installed. like i said, i can get a test page to print fine from 
the CUPS web page, just not if it was initialized inside gnome even though i do see the 
print jobs sitting in the queue for the printer with status "Stopped". 
Restarting the jobs doesnt help them any either.

Re: Cups server and client

Hi Daemons,
a basic question before I run into experiments. I run a Cups printserver 
installation on a Slackware server. And now I want to connect from a BSD7.0

I have to install Cups as well on the BSD-client? Is that right? Or can I access it even simply by setting up printcap? 

  
Yes you do unless you want to use LPR protocol. As you know the CUPS 
normally uses  IPP protocol for communication over the network which is 
not supported by native LPD spooling system.


You also have to add the file  client.conf inot /usr/local/etc/cups with 
the server name which can be IP address. Something like ServerName 
192.168.0.2.


Check the documentation http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html

Re: cups printing with command-line lpr apps (i.e. enscript)

How do I bolt that up to cups?



Maybe you ran into the same thing as I did a few days ago:

Cups comes with its own lpr, /usr/local/bin/lpr.
The apps try the base system lpr in /usb/bin.

You may have to adjust your $PATH to have /usr/local/bin first,
or backup /usr/bin/lpr and ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr
Last method has to be repeated after any installworld.

I also use both CUPS and OOo; in fact, I just got through
rebuilding OOo-2.3.0.1.
If you build from ports, and watch the early stages of the
process, you'll see a number of options mentioned.
If you use portupgrade, you can set them in
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.cfg.  Note: this will _only_ work when using
portupgrade.
It is also possible to put these settings in /etc/make.conf.
However, there are reasons to not do so; see discussions on either
questions@ or ports@ within the last month for further discussion.

When I upgraded X to 7.3, OO got upgraded to 2.3, and it stopped

FYI, cups-base is 1.1.3

Going from memory...

Check to see if cupsd is running:

#ps auxww| grep cupsd

if something other than 'grep cupsd' is listed, I don't know why you
can't access the site.  If nothing comes back:

Start the cupsd daemon:

#/usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd.sh start

(Might be a bit off, can't recall)

You might need to modify /etc/rc.conf first:

#echo "cupsd_enable="YES" >> /etc/rc.conf

The above script to start cups should tell you want variable you need
in rc.conf to get cupsd working.

Hope this helps.

That lack of portaudit on your 6.2 system is probably why it doesn't
care. I'll bet that if you had installed portaudit on your 6.2 system
before trying to update, it wouldn't build either, until the port was
updated, which happened a day or so ago. Further, I'll guess that the
ports tree on your 7.0 system doesn't contain the updated port for
cups - I don't have a 7.0 system on which to test, and don't have a
sophisticated understanding of how all that works, but it's possible
that the ports tree for 7.0 doesn't have the updates.

interesting, portaudit seems to be part of the 7.0 base system now.  on my 
BETA2 box:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/ports]# portaudit -aF
auditfile.tbz 100% of   45 kB  100 kBps
New database installed.
Affected package: cups-base-1.3.3
Type of problem: xpdf -- multiple remote Stream.CC vulnerabilities.
Reference: 


Affected package: cups-base-1.3.3
Type of problem: cups -- off-by-one buffer overflow.
Reference: 


2 problem(s) in your installed packages found.

You are advised to update or deinstall the affected package(s) immediately.

portaudit is not installed on my 6.2 server, so i have no data to print for 
that one.

another interesting thing, when you read the portaudit page for this, it says:

Affects:
cups-base <1.3.3_1

but yet 1.3.3_2 still is rejected.


One or the other has either a stale portaudit database or ports tree.

another interesting thing, when you read the portaudit page for this, it says:

cups-base <1.3.3_1

but yet 1.3.3_2 still is rejected.

Re: cups-base upgrade and samba

[David Horn]

I just upgraded my cups-base install to 1.3.3_1, and ran into similar issues
at first.

Try:

"portaudit -F" to upgrade your audit database.  I believe portaudit
originally thought 1.3.3_1 fell into the "affected" versions, but looks to
be the fixed version in the latest database.

When using ghostscript you should always call it with the -dSAFER
option, so it can only open files read-only.

Or you could buy a postscript capable printer.

It's not as easy as it seems.

It would be possible to write a postscript program that mails itself to
other addresses. But no UNIX mail client that I know of automatically
opens and renders postscript code, let alone with root privileges, which
you need to do _real_ damage instead of just annoy people. So you'd need
user intervention to spread the virus.

And gathering addresses isn't straightforward either. Every mail
program has it's own file for storing those. And there are usually
multiple places where mail can be stored, and that can be in at least
two formats (mbox and maildir).

Update your ports and INDEX file as it seems that you are installing a 
vulnerable version of cups-base. The VuXML report says:


Affects:
cups-base <1.3.4

so the cups-1.3.3 still has the vulnerability mentioned in the report.


Actually, I think the worst security problem I've seen is one I don't 
personally care to fix right now, but I guess I will soon.  It's the 
fact that postscript is actually a language, one that's more general 
purpose in limitations than many people realize.  Isn't that true?  I 
think this means that my postscript interpreter (which is, for me, and I 
think for most, is ghostscript) should have some security controls on 
it, to limit postscript's direct access to local machine capabilities.
I think that the options in gs for security are too little.  It'd be 
pretty easy to write a really nasty worm.  I remember laughing at my 
Windows friends, back when that Philappines worm hit, but we could get 
pretty easily hit on gs, or am I all wet?


I don't much like pdf, but at least its not succeptible to such a thing, 
because pdf's not a general purpose language (not a language at all). 
Nobody's take advantage of it, but it'd be possible to write a general 
purpose docbook interpreter entirely in postscript.  Wonder if modern gs 
 limitations would allow such a big program?  Sure would be convenient.

Apparently there is a bug in this port that would allow an attacker from
outside to make cupsd execute his malicious code. Therefore installation
of this port is forbidden as a precaution until a fix is available.

But if you have a firewall that rejects incomming connections or if you
have cupsd set up to deny all connections but local ones this bug
presumably cannot affect you.

Upgrade the port once it is fixed. In the meantime block incoming
connections either in cupsd.conf or with your firewall.

My understanding of the issue is under some situations cups-base may
allow an attacker to execute arbitary commands (not sure with what privs)

There was some sort of issue with stale headers IIRC. Make sure your ports 
tree is up to date, pkg_delete the old cups before installing the new one 
and you should be ok.

Update your ports tree.

I did that before, I still get the same error.

Actually, I had done portsnap just before trying cups make install clean.
That's why I am a bit "lost"
I just redid it after portsnap and there is little change: same error 
message plus - see above.

Changing the URI of the printer in printers.conf from

Re: CUPs and libgnutls

[Reid Linnemann]

Written by jbarnet on 05/25/07 00:55>>
I'm receiving this error: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object 
"libgnutls.so.13" not found, required by "libcups.so.2"

(Swat (part of samba) is trying to load, and it bombs out).

I installed samba via ports (which cups was either pre-installed or 
installed via a pre-req of another package)... so I'm wondering:


1) why didn't cups install the correct libgnutls version that it needed?
2) how do I find out which pacakge/port the libgnutls.so is part of?

Thanks

It sounds to me like cups was installed via a package or previous ports 
tree, and through some action the gnutls port was upgraded causing the 
libgnutls.so.13 library to vanish. Since cups is dynamically linked to 
the old version of the library, and no intervening actions have been 
made to point it to the right library, it barfs when you try to run it 
because a library it requires at runtime is missing. I think the best 
solution at this point would be to rebuild cups from the ports tree so 
it will link to the correct gnutls library.
