Calling for brave testers: net-print/cups-1.5.0-r2
Maybe some of you have noticed that CUPS 1.5.0 is still hard-masked. Well, the reason for that is simple- at home, I'm nearly not printing at all, and at work, I have to rely on printing too much to tinker with it on the side a bit. So... if you would like to help, please unmask net-print/cups-1.5.0-r2 and give it a try. You will for sure find some problems, as the only thing I tested looong time ago was building it, never actually running it. Report them on bugs.gentoo.org, and we'll have a look... with a bit of luck, the package mask can then go away at some point. Any feedback (also positive) is appreciated. Cheers!

Just tested with an HP 6940 and hpcups 3.11.12 and a Samsung ML-3312 with a home spun ebuild for the Unified Driver (Driver) (ver.3.00.82).
ReplyDeleteBoth worked just fine with the stock /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and a /etc/init.d/cupsd restart
It would be nice if you could include/integrate the avahi patches (see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374153) in your 1.5 ebuilds (with a useflag to enable them). Otherwise CUPS won't do AirPrint which is a really nice feature.
