#FotoVorschlag: Nicht alle #Tassen im Schrank // You no longer have all your #cups in the cupboard (This is a German expression to say you're not playing with a full deck or not quite right in the head ... In February, incoming German chancellor Friedrich Merz used this expression to refer to people who took to the streets to protest against the far-right. Afterwards, his conservative party's headquarters received thousands of mugs and cups sent from people all over Germany who did not appreciate his charming statement 😑)

Hier meine Lieblingstasse. Die Worte schreie ich auch oft in meinem Kopf, wenn ich an #Merz denke // This is my favourite #mug. And also what comes to mind when I think about Merz

Edit: The illustrator is https://www.al-murphy.com/ - his website is very funny too
A white ceramic mug with a cartoon illustration is shown in close-up. The illustration depicts a small, round, light-brown rabbit with long ears, a grumpy expression, and visible whiskers. It's sitting upright, holding a small, open pink book with the title "WATERSHIP DOWN" printed in black text on the visible page. Above the rabbit's head is a speech bubble containing the swear phrase "FUCKING HELL" in black capital letters. The rabbit appears to be reading the book with a look of dismay or shock. The mug has a standard white handle on the left side. The background is slightly blurred, showing a wooden surface with horizontal grain. A small "AL" signature is visible near the bottom right of the mug. The overall tone of the image is humorous and slightly dark, referencing the often upsetting content of the book "Watership Down".

Looking for #Linux help, if you're so inclined.

I am (gods help me) trying to get a #Brother printer/scanner working in #Debian 12 / #Gnome 43.9 on a #Thinkpad #T480S.

Before a recent reintallation of hte OS, the #CUPS driver used to work for printing but not scanning, *and* the Brother Linux printer drivers used to make the scanner work, too.

support.brother.com/g/b/downlo

But now, neither works, and I get the error message: "Unable to locate printer" (followed by the correct IP address).

The #OpenPrinting #CUPS #Snap is now available for #RISCV in the Snap Store!

To build it it just needed to add #riscv64 as supported architecture in the snapcraft.yaml file.

I has taken 2:30 hours (!) to build on my #DeepComputing / #Framework RISC-V board, and the build servers of the Snap Store need the same time to build it.

Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt (xypron), RISC-V expert at #Canonical, for providing me a kernel which does bridge networking.

Screenshot of terminal window, with command "uname -a" showing that we are running on the RISC-V architecture and command "snap info cups" showning that we have the CUPS Snap for this system available in the Snap Store

LinuxCommunity · CUPS 2.4.12 beendet die Release-Reihe 2.4 – Fortsetzung folgt - LinuxCommunityNachdem die Zukunft des immer noch verbreiteten Drucksystem CUPS kurze Zeit in den Sternen stand, geht die Entwicklung mittlerweile wieder zügiger weiter. Die neue Version 2.4.12 behebt im Wesentlichen Fehler, bevor es mit CUPS 2.5 und neuen größeren Funktionen weitergehen soll. Unter anderem druckt das überarbeitete CUPS jetzt Jobs auf älteren Druckern, deren Namen länger als 255 Zeichen sind. Im lpd-Backend haben die Entwickler zudem Verzögerungen eliminiert. Die Version 2.4.12 bietet aber auch einige kleinere Neuerungen. So kann das Drucksystem jetzt mit mehreren Sprachen beim IPP-Everywhere-Standard umgehen. CUPS 2.4.12 verlangt zwingend die Zlib-Bibliothek und TLS-Unterstützung. Die Kommunikation von entsprechend verschlüsselten Verbindungen wickeln im Hintergrund wahlweise OpenSSL, GnuTLS oder LibreSSL ab. Beim Einsatz eines GnuTLS Crypto Providers folgt CUPS den zugehörigen Kryptogaphie-Policies. Apropos Sicherheit: Treten im IPPS-Backend Zertifikatsfehler auf, meldet CUPS eine Warnung. Obendrauf kamen zahlreiche neue APIs hinzu, darunter eine Oauth-, JSON- und DNS-SD-Schnittstelle. Abschließend unterstützt CUPS 2.4.12 auch Docker. Das CUPS-Teams arbeitet bereits an der nächsten Version 2.5, die im Juni 2025 erscheinen soll. Sie wird dem cupsd eine Anmeldung via OAuth beibringen, TLS/X.509 verbessern und die Lokalisierung zentralisieren – zumindest sind das die bisherigen Planungen. Lange Zeit trieb maßgeblich Apple die Entwicklung von CUPS voran. Im Jahr 2019 verließ erst der Hauptentwickler Michael Sweet das Unternehmen, dann gab Apple die Entwicklung komplett auf. Schließlich erstellte OpenPrinting.org einen Fork des Drucksystems. Daher firmiert die jetzt aktualisierte Software offiziell unter dem Namen „OpenPrinting CUPS“.

This cat cup was too heavy to start with. I almost saved it with the cobalt glazing, but had to go over the top and add gold to the eyes, which ultimately made it look like a crying kitty! Too sad! Currently redoing it and will restrain myself with the glaze.

Close up of the cat face on front of the mug before firing. The floral additions are green from the colored wax. The kitty looks ok, with dark dots on the eyes
Cobalt glaze highlights the floral sprig mold attachments and the cat looks ok in profile
Close up of the cat head on the front of the cup after firing shows the kitty, who now appears to be crying golden tears (but not in a good way)!

@jwildeboer @amszmidt @tante Jan, we are the same age! We both got released 1970! But my first free software OS experience was only 1997 when I was sys admin in the Theoretical Physics department where I did my PhD. I installed SuSE Linux 5.1 from CD-ROM, on Pentium and i486 machines with 8-32 MB of RAM. The desktop was made up with FVWM and printing with LPD and Ghostscript. A few years before we got nice things like #GNOME, #KDE, and #CUPS ...

Ja moin!

Wenn #CUPS bei Euch spinnt, probiert doch einfach mal Euren #Drucker *komplett* neu einzurichten, also löschen, ggf. nochmal „frische“ PPD-Dateien holen, anderer Druckername damit *wirklich* keine Altbestände genommen werden und dann Daumen drücken.

Für CUPS 2.4.10 unter #Debian trixie (testing) vs. #Kyocera Ecosys PA2100cx war das jedenfalls dann ausreichend. Schätze mal, da hat irgend ein Update irgendwas zerbröselt. Sehr komischer Kram mit „Filter failed“ und so...

Oopsie! 😊

One more CUPS question - the Print to PDF queue, which is based on an ippeveprinter created at startup, puts the queue job number at the start of the output pdf, so I get something like

1-filename.pdf
2-someotherfilename.pdf
etc.

Anyone know where I need to change that to leave the job number off?

I’m off to try more google searches (wish me luck!), but thought I’d ask here as I’ve not found anything yet.

Thanks!

Here is a tutorial about the CUPS filtering systems and how to add your own filters:

en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_Your

You could add a filter which applies to each incoming PostScript job that adds the desired PostScript code.

This filter then applies to all your CUPS queues, including driverless IPP printers where CUPS automatically creates a queue on-demand.

Any CUPS experts here? I want to inject some PostScript near the start of all jobs which come through a certain queue.

The prefilter stuff I found looks like it’s for an earlier version.

It’s an ippeveprinter ”print to PDF” printer, but some jobs need an additional set of PS procedures defined which are being sent as a separate print job. Those procedures never change, so I want to just add them in at the start.

Here is the GSoC project we need a Rust-experienced mentor for:

wiki.linuxfoundation.org/gsoc/

It is Rust bindings for libcups, versions 2.x and 3.x.

We already have some candidates interested in it, so we need the mentor ASAP, to already help us select the best candidate.

Please contact us via the contact channels on the linked project idea page.

And please boost this, thanks.

Hi, anybody here is experienced in Rust (perhaps even also in creating bindings for a C library/API) and would like to mentor a #GSoC contributor for OpenPrinting? The contributor will work a total of 3 months full-time (or 350 hours) in the time from May to November this year on the project and they will get a stipend from Google.

Only additional requirements are a minimum age of 18 and not to want to participate as GSoC contributor this year or in any later year.

@pierrenick What is missing is a modular concept, like a laptop from @frameworkcomputer user-exchangeable components for repairability and upgradeability, open designs to allow third parties to contribute components. Also free-software-based firmware/OS, using the code base of #OpenPrinting, #PAPPL, #CUPS, ...

I am open for a collaboration of OpenPrinting and Framework ... or whoever wants to jump in on the hardware side ...
