Today's sidequest: Find a way to run a shell script before printing a file via CUPS on macO. The script basically does a single `curl` to power on the printer’s outlet.
Have you done something similar? Perhaps with a filter? I don’t need to manipulate print at a at all, just run a single curl before the job is sent to the printer.
Links to solving this are welcome! (Yes, I’ve obviously searched around and read documentation already, but nothing seems to work so far.)

#Linux-Nerd gesucht: Kann ich – z.B. mit #SANE – einen über Wifi verfügbaren Scanner nutzen? Kann ich den dann per Netzwerk sharen?
Hintergrund: Ich habe einen alten MFC im Netzwerk, für den es nicht mehr für jedes OS Treiber gibt. Die Druckfunktion gibt mein #RaspberryPi bereits via #CUPS im Netzwerk frei, nun suche ich dasselbe für die Scanfunktion – aber über Wifi angeschlossen *und* freigegeben. Bisher finde ich nur die Freigabe von USB-Geräten übers Wifi, das nützt mir nichts.

@phranck Thanks for posting to spread it more.
@giamik And thanks to you by making me aware.
But I know it already, I saw their very first announcement on the croudsupply site and then I immediately looked up the creators on LinkedIn and contacted them, offering collaboration, especially as they were already telling that they use #CUPS.
I joined their Discord channel, made suggestions to them and no Openprinter and OpenPrinting work together ...

@juanmitaboada has invited me again to speak on the @opensouthcode!
I will give you an update on what we are doing at OpenPrinting in my talk:
OpenPrinting - We continue to make printing just work!
How are we approaching the next generation of CUPS? New printer setup tools in #KDE, #GNOME, and especially in #COSMIC, a lot more ... and ...
... Akarshan Kapoor will present scanning in immutable and sandboxed environments ...

#NixOS, #CUPS, and #Firefox are not playing nice.
Last night I did a bunch of prints from firefox, no issue. Until the printer detected a paper jam.
Then firefox could not generate the print preview, just hanging trying to load the print dialogue.After a reboot it printed fine once, but there was another jam, and again it can't load the print dialogue. Logging in again didn't fix, restarting the CUPS service didn't fix. I assume a reboot will, but that is silly.
#Printing sucks.

Not to be dramatic, but…
I really needed good coffee this morning. Used my one cup style mini French press with plunger and water from electric kettle. 2 cups are there because I’ve learned how to get 2 rich cups of coffee from the one press. #Coffee #FrenchPress #Cups -

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…
[there is always an xkcd]
[finally working, and I think within the chart time]

It's a #cups kind of day.

PrintEase rivoluziona stampa e scansione su Linux: niente driver, niente configurazioni complicate, solo semplicità immediata 🖨️ #Linux #OpenSource #GTK #CUPS #Printing

Today I came across a weird #printer problem. From #Debian #Linux I could print to the #Canon PIXMA printer in simplex or #duplex.
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 #IPP driver in #CUPS
Annoyingly it works perfectly in Windows...

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 ...

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:

Jade cup, Czechia, early 1600s AD

🖨️
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. 🙂

So about the #Kyocera #CUPS driver needing insecure #pypdf3 situation:
I guess this is not only a #NixOS 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...
