Hello, everyone... after a number of years away from CRUX, I'm now running 64-bit CRUX 2.8 since the day it was released a few weeks ago but having some issues with CUPS printing.
CUPS 1.6.1 sees the Brother HL-5250DN laser printer using a PPD file (from OpenPrinting.org) and connected through a USB cable, and CUPS allows me to configure the printer through the web interface. It prints a test page (after some delay) and it does allow printing from the command line as root, or regular user. However, none of my GUI apps seem to communicate with the printer, and the only print options found in the application print menus are "Print to file" or "Print to LPR". Using the Print to LPR option fails, nothing prints, and no errors show up in the error log.
I guess you mean gtk applications? If so, recompile gtk. You should get a footprint error with a new module libprintbackend-cups.so. Update gtk and printing should work as expected again. HTH and best regards Juergen
