My original problem involved using a driver from the "splix" package. Last night I did some more tests using CUPS 1.4. I expected that to happen from the CUPS developers. Thanks!įirst of all, I'm sorry, I think I meant to say "I may found a temporary solution". Then we can decide whether or not to put this information in the Arch Wiki and to make a bug report for the CUPS developers. If you decide to try it out, please let me know if printing works better for you. Unfortunately, since my original bug was basically "sometimes somethings don't print", I can't really tell if this is a "fix" yet, because I don't have much to print right now. Printing a test page worked, the printer is recognized in all of my applications, and it no longer seems to leave that "Processing page. For my Samsung ML-2510, I used the driver that is installed by the latest "splix" Arch package. Bask in it's yellow tinted glory.ĬUPS should be able to find the printer. Use the CUPS local "website" to add and configure the printer. Also, if you have "usblp" blacklisted in "rc.conf" then you may want to un-blacklist it. I use a USB connection for my printer, so I don't know what you need to do if you use something else.
("sudo modrobe usblp") Apparently this is not necessary for 1.4, but was necessary for 1.3. Install the new cups 1.3.11 pacman package by using the "pacman -U" command.Įnable the "usblp" module. I wasn't really worried about the reason why, so I just calculated it myself by using the "md5sum" command and made the change to the PKGBUILD file. For some reason the checksum check failed for the file "cups-1.3.2".
Unzip the tarball and use "makepkg" to create the pacman package. (near the center of the website) … ?rev=44879 ("sudo mv /etc/cups /etc/cups.OLD")ĭownload all of the CUPS 1.3.11 PKGBUILD data by going to this website and clicking "Tarball". Make a backup copy of the CUPS config files, just in case. Apparently there were a lot of changes between versions 1.3 and 1.4. My printer worked perfectly with CUPS 1.3, so I decided to try installing the most recent version of CUPS in the 1.3 series. I may have found a solution by downgrading CUPS.
