[Solved] cups and gutenprint

[bsd4me]

Trying to install printer and have the following problem:
gutenprint-5.3.1-x86_64-2 is installed, but cups is looking for "File "/usr/lib64/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.5.2" not available: No such file or directory"

This is a fresh install of 7.2. I did an upgrade but that didn't solve the problem.


Also, clicking "System" and "Manage Printing" wanted to start midori, but Firefox was installed.

I usually use "Print Settings" to set up printers and i did not see the problem. It was because of zzz-settings-slackel-openbox package which change /usr/share/applications/cups.desktop to use midori.

So you can edit /usr/share/applications/cups.desktop and change
the line Exec=/usr/bin/midori http://localhost:631/ to Exec=/usr/bin/xdg-open http://localhost:631/
log out and log in again

or reinstall cups

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -u
sudo slapt-get -i --reinstall cups

log out and log in again and problem is solved. Firefox will be opened when run "Manage Printing"

You can also upgrade user-settings-slackel-openbox and zzz-settings-slackel-openbox packages.

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -i user-settings-slackel-openbox
sudo slapt-get -i  zzz-settings-slackel-openbox

But zzz-settings-slackel-openbox will change the hostname to slackel.example.net. You can change it to whatever you like with

Code: Select all

su
echo your_host.domain_name > /etc/HOSTNAME
