There's still runtime errors related to cups not being able to open PPDs, so don't merge as-is. I am still working on it.
Hi. I'm new to Guix and would like to see if Gutenprint will allow me to print on a Brother MFC-9970CDW without a proprietary driver. What's left to do to complete the current patch? Can I help? Is there a git repository and branch somewhere with the latest version of this patch? Is it just package documentation at this point, or are there remaining issues with e.g. paths?
For the path issue, I'm not sure how you get CUPS to see the PPDs you want, but once it does, the remaining issue should be to rewrite some entries in the PPD to have a full path, most importantly the cupsFilter entries, but in the PPD from macOS there were also other entries with paths, that may or may not apply (except maybe the last one?): *APDialogExtension: *APPrinterIconPath: *APPrinterUtilityPath: *APPrinterLowInkTool: *APHelpBook: *cupsICCProfile: Note that the NixOS recipe creates a cups-progs derivation output that has all the ppds and all the filter binaries (themselves symlinks to the respective derivation outputs); then it symlinks that cups-progs output to /var/lib/cups/path and configures to look for data and binaries there, so it doesn't have to modify any PPD.
As for how Guix does it, it looks like the cups-server-bin output is created in gnu/services/cups.scm based on the union of the extensions listed in the configuration for lib/cups, share/ppd and share/cups, and that you would put the filter programs in the lib/cups of your package and the ppd in the share/ppd/ (though I see some ppd.gz under share/cups/model/), and some .drv in share/cups/drv/.
Hello Brice, I tried your recipe and I confirm it works. Cups can see it and use it. I have two problems: 1) It doesn't work with my (supported) printer. I can see this error in dmesg when I try to print with it: [12788.877547] traps: gutenprint.5.3[12432] general protection fault ip:7f6f7411b2b6 sp:7fffc79555e0 error:0 in libc-2.33.so[7f6f740c7000+141000] 2) Adding the printer it shows me two possible drivers: Canon MP240 series - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.3.4 (en) Canon MP240 series - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.3.4 (en, ca, cs, da, de, el, ...) When I select the first, CUPS complains that it is 'Unable to copy PPD file'. When I select the second, CUPS uses it and it seems working (except the issue #1). I'll try older version, maybe that make difference in problem #1. Milan
Older nor newer version doesn't help.
