We just postpone the problem, maybe 1.5 will only have the new one. |

CUPS 1.4 is a major update in printing support and thus may cause |
22 |
some |
23 |
problems when coming from version 1.3. Most users should see a |
24 |
smooth |
25 |
update, although only net-print/gutenprint and net-print/hplip are |
26 |
considered as supported drivers. If you happen to rely on other |
27 |
drivers for your printer, you may have to research if problems occur. |
28 |
Local USB printers are known to occasionally have issues, which can |
29 |
be |
30 |
resolved in most cases by the following steps: |
31 |
|
32 |
1a. If you have usblp as a module (CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=m in your |
33 |
kernel |
34 |
configuration), you can blacklist the module |
35 |
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. |
36 |
1b. Disable usblp in your kernel configuration by setting |
37 |
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=n. Don't forget to rebuild the kernel and reboot |
38 |
with that new image. |
39 |
2. Delete /etc/cups. |
40 |
3. (Re-)install CUPS 1.4 with USE="usb". |
41 |
4. Configure printer(s) from scratch via the CUPS web interface. |
42 |
5. If your printer is a multifunction device, be sure you got the |
43 |
udev rules |
44 |
setting the device permissions in shape so CUPS can access the |
45 |
device. |
46 |
|
47 |
If you still have issues, you can revert to the old CUPS 1.3 |
48 |
behaviour |
49 |
by setting USE="-usb" on net-print/cups. |
