[gentoo-user] cups problem

[gentoo-user] cups problem

[Michael W. Holdeman]

I am having trouble with cups, part of the problem seems to be I have 
no /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp

Where do I get it?

Did you emerge cups? It is present on my system, and epm shows me that it is 
owned by 'cups' so it should be on yours too. I have cups-1.1.23-r7 here.

There are no USE flags that look germaine...try re-emerging cups I guess...

cups-1.2.1-r2 does not seem to contain /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp?

OK, so are you running an ~arch system?
If you don't need cups 1.2.* then I think the path of least resistance is to 
downgrade your cups to 1.1.*

I found this:
http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?cups-1.2.1-r2

which although cryptic seems to imply some sort of config change between 1.1 
and 1.2 that requires some symlinks. There did not appear to be any relevant 
bugs in bugzilla. 

So...I don't know...

/usr/lib/cups changed to /usr/libexec/cups in cups-1.2
you can find it in:
ls /usr/libexec/cups/backend/ipp

cool, symlinked from /usr/libexec/cups/backend/ to /usr/lib/cups/backend...

All is well now, Thanks!

That's a rather kludgy approach. The ebuild's output states

"If you are updating from cups-1.1.* you need to remerge every ebuild
that installed into /usr/lib/cups and /etc/cups, qfile is in portage-utils:
# emerge -va $(qfile -qC /usr/lib/cups /etc/cups | sed "s:net-print/cups$::")

You should also run revdep-rebuild"

I did both and they did not solve the problem. They only ended up with cannon 
and epson in the backends directory, the rest were all still in 
libexec/cups/backends and cups kept error ing out.

Do you mean lib/cups? they are supposed to be in libexec/cups? If so, you
should file a bug.

cups is looking for it in /usr/lib/cups/backends/, but the 1.2 places it 
in /usr/libexec/cups/backends/ I placed a symling 
from /usr/libexec/cups/backends/* to /usr/lib/cups/backends* and it now works 
as expected.

The symlink should not be necessary, that's why I suggested you file a
bug.
