Making cups installation work with lpr
asked 2019-12-21 02:44:58 +0200
Hi, I have installed the cups package with this method.
Now I need the foomatic-rip filter :
$ lpstat -p
printer myPrinter is idle. enabled since sam. 21 déc. 2019 01:16:45 CET
File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip" not available: No such file or directory
So I just rsync the /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip filter from my Ubuntu (supposing it's not distrib. dependent) to my SailfishOS device and restarted cups :
$ alias scp='time \rsync -h --progress -u -zt'
$ scp /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip jolla-wlan:cups/filter/

So now I tried and print 2 PDFs from my Jolla (the same I did from my Ubuntu) :
$ cd Documents/
$ lpr hebrew_Alphabet_Chart.pdf
$ lpr JohnGLake.pdf
$ \lpq -a +3

I can see above that the Owner is (null), can you please tell me what is missing in this configuration ?
