Subject: Printing with Fremantle
Body:
I have uploaded cups packages to the repos.
The whole cups server cannot be installed because of missing
dependencies, but cups-client is enough to print over a network
printer. The GUI gtklp can be used to have more control. Start it
with gtklp <filename>. The version 1.2.3 of gtklp has no fileopen-
dialog, as 1.2.7 has. But I cannot package 1.2.7 because libtool2
is missing in scratchbox.
This is how to configure your printer:
Create a file /etc/cups/client.conf:
ServerName <my_server>
Then create /etc/cups/lpoptions:
Default <printername given in cups-webinterface>
Copy the ppd of your printer (you can also use generic postscript,
or from a registered turboprint> to /usr/share/cups/model/
Then execute the following:
lpadmin -p ps -v socket://<serverip>:<port> -P /usr/share/cups/model/Generic-PostScript_Level_1_Printer-Postscript1.ppd -E
Replace socket://... with the address given in the cups-webinterface,
and give the path to the ppd with the -P option.
Now you can print with lp <filename> or gtklp <filename>
