We have 2025 - do I really still need to complain about printers on Linux?

PS: Happens no matter which of the three discovered printer types I select. Also it's always other, random characters.
.oO(Would be "funny" if this were some buffer overflow security issue in the #cups daemon, running as root.)

Lasse einen #Drucker nicht alleine....
Habe gestern etwas gedruckt - mit vielen Problemen. Siehe vorheriges Post...
Nun druckte der Drucker gestern Abend, seehr langsam mit einer Seite pro Minute. Da wollte ich bei 70 Seiten nicht warten....
Der Druck bricht ab nach zig Seiten und fängt dann von vorne an! Das ganze Dokument. 5 Versuche mit jeweils 2/3 der 70 Seiten ...
Und die Fehlermeldung ist so nichtssagend...

Und alles für eine #Retrocomputer Austellung morgen

I am a noisy stirrer. When it comes to making hot drinks, I have to beat the heck out of the side of the mug so I know everything's mixed and dissolved.

The 2025 20-25 Challenge.

This year let’s get better at something by finding a little practice time most days, in my case drawing. - Do your activity for at least 25 minutes, at least 25 days per month.
- Use the hashtag #20252025Challenge on social media etc to track your progress
- Also use the hashtag to cheer on others.

That’s about it!

Have fun with your activities, whatever they may be!

Drawing, programming, dancing, cooking, make up, reading, languages, gardening, mastering high fives, sewing, astrophysics, vcr clock setting ...

Today's adventures in printing I managed to find a workaround for extremely slow printing using #CUPS on a Raspberry Pi.

Printing some docs (mostly OCR content) can trigger extremely slow ghostscript process step sometimes taking > 15 minutes for 10 pages of text on a RPi 4B. I tested running the same process on x86 Intel machine and it still took 5 minutes

#Debian #Cups #Firefox pretty interesting #problem. Cups on my workstation hat one printer defined, but set another cups server in client.conf. All software shows the local printer and printers from the main cups server.

Firefox 128.11.0esr only shows the one local printer.

Is there something in miss in Firefox setup?

Habe dazu extra den #Druckertrieber in meinen #CUPS reingefummelt...

Aber wie druckt eins einen Mastodon Post, dass es gut aussieht?

Alter Netzwerkdrucker, aber Airprint will nicht mehr? Bin auf der Suche nach einer Lösung auf dieses Projekt gestoßen: github.com/chuckcharlie/cups-a. Was soll man sagen, es funktioniert. :awesome:

Wer auch einen #Brother #Drucker HL-L8260CDW hat und ihn unter #Arch mit #CUPS nicht zum Laufen bekommt, sollte sich den Kommentar von nkoq vom 11.03.2025 ansehen, dort ist ein Workaround mit symbolischem Link beschrieben: aur.archlinux.org/packages/bro

Since #Update to #Thunderbird 138.0 i only see the first #Cups Printer when trying to print a PDF. Saving it to disk, opening the pDF with PDF Viewer shows all printers.

#FotoVorschlag: Nicht alle #Tassen im Schrank // You no longer have all your #cups in the cupboard (This is a German expression to say you're not playing with a full deck or not quite right in the head ... In February, incoming German chancellor Friedrich Merz used this expression to refer to people who took to the streets to protest against the far-right. Afterwards, his conservative party's headquarters received thousands of mugs and cups sent from people all over Germany who did not appreciate his charming statement 😑)

Hier meine Lieblingstasse. Die Worte schreie ich auch oft in meinem Kopf, wenn ich an #Merz denke // This is my favourite #mug. And also what comes to mind when I think about Merz

Edit: The illustrator is https://www.al-murphy.com/ - his website is very funny too
A white ceramic mug with a cartoon illustration is shown in close-up. The illustration depicts a small, round, light-brown rabbit with long ears, a grumpy expression, and visible whiskers. It's sitting upright, holding a small, open pink book with the title "WATERSHIP DOWN" printed in black text on the visible page. Above the rabbit's head is a speech bubble containing the swear phrase "FUCKING HELL" in black capital letters. The rabbit appears to be reading the book with a look of dismay or shock. The mug has a standard white handle on the left side. The background is slightly blurred, showing a wooden surface with horizontal grain. A small "AL" signature is visible near the bottom right of the mug. The overall tone of the image is humorous and slightly dark, referencing the often upsetting content of the book "Watership Down".

Looking for #Linux help, if you're so inclined.

I am (gods help me) trying to get a #Brother printer/scanner working in #Debian 12 / #Gnome 43.9 on a #Thinkpad #T480S.

Before a recent reintallation of hte OS, the #CUPS driver used to work for printing but not scanning, *and* the Brother Linux printer drivers used to make the scanner work, too.

support.brother.com/g/b/downlo

But now, neither works, and I get the error message: "Unable to locate printer" (followed by the correct IP address).
