#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

#Tasse #Hase #bunny
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).

Just ran into a brutal #UI / #UX problem in LibreOffice Calc, on a Debian bookworm system, fully up to date.

1. Decide to print spreadsheet
2. Open print dialog
3. Preview is in the left pane, options in the right.
4. Scroll down in the options pane to find an option near the bottom.
5. Change setting, or not.
6. Scroll back up to the top of the options pane, using the pointing device vertical scroll wheel.
7. If the "number of copies" scrollbox happens to pass under the mouse pointer, it will rapidly increase the number of copies. It's not particularly obvious this is happening; it's easy to miss the value is changing.
8. Move the mouse pointer slightly up and scrolling the options pane continues.
9. Click "print".

Voila! 23 copies of what you wanted to print a single copy of.

I actually ran into this while trying to debug a totally different UI / UX bug 😱

This cat cup was too heavy to start with. I almost saved it with the cobalt glazing, but had to go over the top and add gold to the eyes, which ultimately made it look like a crying kitty! Too sad! Currently redoing it and will restrain myself with the glaze.

Close up of the cat face on front of the mug before firing. The floral additions are green from the colored wax. The kitty looks ok, with dark dots on the eyes
Cobalt glaze highlights the floral sprig mold attachments and the cat looks ok in profile
Close up of the cat head on the front of the cup after firing shows the kitty, who now appears to be crying golden tears (but not in a good way)!

Ja moin!

Wenn #CUPS bei Euch spinnt, probiert doch einfach mal Euren #Drucker *komplett* neu einzurichten, also löschen, ggf. nochmal „frische“ PPD-Dateien holen, anderer Druckername damit *wirklich* keine Altbestände genommen werden und dann Daumen drücken.

Für CUPS 2.4.10 unter #Debian trixie (testing) vs. #Kyocera Ecosys PA2100cx war das jedenfalls dann ausreichend. Schätze mal, da hat irgend ein Update irgendwas zerbröselt. Sehr komischer Kram mit „Filter failed“ und so...

Oopsie! 😊

One more CUPS question - the Print to PDF queue, which is based on an ippeveprinter created at startup, puts the queue job number at the start of the output pdf, so I get something like

1-filename.pdf
2-someotherfilename.pdf
etc.

Anyone know where I need to change that to leave the job number off?

I’m off to try more google searches (wish me luck!), but thought I’d ask here as I’ve not found anything yet.

Thanks!

Here is a tutorial about the CUPS filtering systems and how to add your own filters:

en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_Your

You could add a filter which applies to each incoming PostScript job that adds the desired PostScript code.

This filter then applies to all your CUPS queues, including driverless IPP printers where CUPS automatically creates a queue on-demand.

UPDATE: I think I’ve worked out how avoid the problem.

Any CUPS experts here? I want to inject some PostScript near the start of all jobs which come through a certain queue.

The prefilter stuff I found looks like it’s for an earlier version.

It’s an ippeveprinter ”print to PDF” printer, but some jobs need an additional set of PS procedures defined which are being sent as a separate print job. Those procedures never change, so I want to just add them in at the start.

@ljrk Much better than a #CUPS-based IPP firewall is if we from #OpenPrinting collaborate with @frameworkcomputer to make the repairable, upgradebale, and sustainable printer.

For the time being, connect your #printer via USB.

In case of a modern, driverless printer if you use #Linux, go to http://localhost:60000/ to access the printer's web admin interface and turn off Wi-Fi in it.

Disconnect any Ethernet cable from it and you are protected against manufacturer-conducted DoS attacks,

The wife and I found the new Peanut Butter Pie Reese's Peanut Butter Cups yesterday at the store, and let me tell you, these are absolutely DELICIOUS!

When you open the bag, you are just flooded with a smell of peanut butter pie and makes you just want to instantly dive in.

The taste is exceptional, and they are crunchy due to the graham cracker or whatever it is they have in them.

These are likely one of Reese's best products in a very long time!

#Linux und #CUPS waren unschuldig, das Problem trat auch auf wenn ich die Testseite vom Drucker gedruckt habe, hab daraufhin versucht die Einzugsrolle auszubauen und zu reinigen, dabei ist die Plastik Halterung gebrochen und ick find kein Ersatz mehr für den HP LaserJet 1320, , hab jetzt 'n Brother HL-L2400DW bestellt, der LaserJet hatte über 20 Jahre treue Dienste geleistet :-(..

Gestern Abend erfolglos für >2h versucht mit #CUPS als client & server zu drucken, meistens druckt CUPS eine zweite leere Seite oder die obere Hälfte der Seite ist abgeschnitten.
A4 Page Format, hplip, Gutenberg, pxlmono Treiber versucht, alles hat nicht geklappt.
Nachdem ich jahrelang problemlos über LPR & mit CUPS-Client, mit dem gleichen Drucker gedruckt hatte, dachte ich drucken wäre np unter #Linux 🙄
