[gentoo-dev] cups extras

[Collins Richey]

The cups support appears to be incomplete

1) There is no cups startup script i t can be real simple cupsd & did
it for me.

2) The extra printer definition files that make cups actually usable
seem to be missing.

Any plans to correct this?

Collins,

How about fixing these things as you find them and submitting patches
or corrected ebuilds?  This is a community project.

ahem, maybe i misunderstood you completely, 
but what about emergeing
net-print/gimp-print-cups as well (e.g.) ??
works fine for me. (hp inkjet)
after all, cups is intended as infrastructure only...

Just checking some old mails.  If you haven't already corrected this,
here is the /etc/cupsd script that I created.

----------start /etc/init.d/cupsd
#!/sbin/runscript

depend() {
        need xinetd
}

autoconfig() {
if [ ! -e /etc/cups/cupsd.conf ] ; then
        eerror "You need an /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file to run cupsd"
        return 1
fi
}

start() {
        autoconfig || return 1
        ebegin "Starting cupsd"
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/cupsd 1>&2
        eend $?
}

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping cupsd"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet -u root -n cupsd 1>&2
        # long explanation removed; basically: keep things sane
        if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
                if [ -e /dev/shm/.init.d/started/cupsd ] ; then
                        eend 0
                fi
        fi
        eend $?
}
----------end /etc/init.d/cupsd
