  1. Today, in order to save me maybe 10 seconds each time I do postage, I am trying to set up CUPS to print directly to my printer from the server in London.

    Yes, it should be possible…

    No, it is not working…

    Could take a while…

    [finally working, and I think within the chart time]

  2. It's a #cups kind of day.

  3. Today I came across a weird problem. From I could print to the PIXMA printer in simplex or .

    BUT, in duplex mode it would print a side, eject the paper, re-load the paper, then eject it again without printing anything on it, and then start the second page on a separate sheet of paper.

    This happened from my PC and a separate one using the stock driver in

    Annoyingly it works perfectly in Windows...

  8. Just printed a test page on my Mom's printer from 266 miles away. That was fun.

    Isso tudo me lembra quando eu participava no FISL, não me lembro exatamente, pode ser em 2003 e 2004, e eu dei tutoriais sobre CUPS em Português, com a sala superlotada, pessoal assistindo em pé, os organizadores me daram 3 PCs (cada um com monitor CRT) e 2 impressoras para demonstrações de impressão em rede ...

    Em um destes 2 anos tinha também Jon Maddog Hall lá ...

    E tinha churrascos deliciosos ...

  14. More details:
    - The printer is a Brother HL-L5100DN series.
    - I did the configuration of the "Location" in the printer's Web UI (not in CUPS).
    - The #LinuxMint printer app only responded with "server-error-internal-error"
    - But in the CUPS Web UI I got a proper error message regarding the umlaut.

    So the error might very well be in the Brother software, not in CUPS.

    To be on the safe side, I still reported the bug to the CUPS team:

    github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/i

    #printer #linux #cups

  15. 🖨️

    My new printer stopped working under #LinuxMint the other day. Re-adding it resulted in a general error message.

    Finally found the solution:

    In the printer's "location" field, I had specified "Mein Büro" ("My office" in German). And Cups does not like umlauts in that field. 😶

    After removing the "ü", the printer worked.

    Maybe this information will be helpful to someone, at some point. 🙂

  16. So about the driver needing insecure situation:

    I guess this is not only a problem but concerns anyone wanting to use their Kyocera printer on Linux. I understand that pypdf3 is deprecated and one should use just pypdf, but the kyocera driver is proprietary, so how would one fix that? 🤔

    I guess Kyocera themselves don't care whatsoever...

  17. O kurde, to faktycznie działa. Mam starą drukarkę Brother z #CUPS na #orangepizero2 i już też miałem ją wpiętą do @homeassistant więc konfiguracja integracji była prosta. No i teraz mogę drukować jakieś rzeczy niczym jak faks. Tylko nie wiem jeszcze do czego się może przydać...

  22. ♊ Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

    Mercury is in retrograde, and so is your duplex binding.

    The stars indicate a period of transformation is upon you.

    Specifically, your documents are duplexed in landscape when they should be portrait, and the cosmos have aligned to clip your bottom lines. This is not a coincidence. It is A4.

    Mid-month brings an unexpected lpoptions revelation.

  23. I was wrong.

    My sister understood the assignment, naturally.

    She bought me a 14 ounce mug in Costa Rica, and it just may be the perfect size.

    With this, I won't have to refill my first mug o' the day to get my fill.

    It doesn't seem like much, with the mugs next to each other, but that little bit does make a noticeable difference, for the better.

    Now, to avoid breaking it 😮‍💨

  28. Got smol SSD drive (250GB) and restarted #LinuxMint experiment (old #desktop was laggy using spinning rust) - this is actually now a usable PC!

    Office #printer once again detected by #CUPS with driverless install, built in software handled printing a large graphics-intensive PDF well.

    Both #Firefox and #Edge running without problems (only reason I have Edge on here is to test how well it works with if #MS365)

    Only minor drawback is #Dropbox #Linux client wants to download entire Dropbox to the hard drive (which will fill it up very quickly), it doesn't have the "save hard drive space" functionality on #Windows

    This would now be good enough to use as backup PC for general (non technical) office staff (many use web MS365 apps a lot more than desktop these days!)
