 Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 9:44 pm Post subject: Help with Wireless Printing - CUPS |
 |
|
I've installed CUPS and the first problem I ran into was that I couldn't connect to localhost (http://localhost:631/)
 
I also have a Brother MFC-J435w printer, which isn't in the list of supported devices in CUPS.
How do I get it working? |

Output of this please
| Code: | localhost roman # rc-update show|grep cupsd
cupsd | default |
if not in the default runlevel add it there with rc-update add cupsd default, than /etc/init.d/cupsd start
have you checked the gentoo docs / gentoo wiki about cups?
have you checked the web if anyone got your printer to work in any gnu-linux?
have you checked brothers homepage for a linux pld file for cups? |

I did look around on the linuxprinting website, gentoo wiki on printing and the gentoo forums.
But most of them seemed to have no problem getting onto localhost.
It was like that for me before. But now, it stopped working :/
I tried changing my kernel a little with no success.
I did see .rpm and .deb files available for my printer but
I'm not too familiar with installing programs/drivers from .rpm .deb .tar.gz .tar.bz2  as Gentoo is my first Linux distribution

So, is your cups control panel working again? If so...
I have an mfc430w, and had a crappy ebuild for it. I have adapted it and it should work for the 435w, but it's untested.
First, make sure you have properly configured a local overlay. If you haven't done that yet (if you don't know, you probably haven't) all you need to do is this: mkdir /usr/local/portage, then edit /etc/portage/make.conf and add PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" to the end.
If you have enabled layman make sure that it's "source" line stays the last one (if you have no idea about this just skip it).
After that, do this:
Edited: unless you are in the testing branch, you will probably need to add a line like this to your /etc/portage/package.keywords to be able to emerge the package:
| Code: | | net-print/brother-mfc-j435w-drivers ~amd64 |
//
| Code: | $ cd /usr/local/portage
$ wget http://www.jesgue.es/downloads/brother-overlay-20141007.tar.bz2
$ tar xf brother-overlay-20141007.tar.bz2
$ emerge -va brother-mfc-j435w-drivers |
The driver should install, and it should appear in the web frontend.
The package also contains ebuilds for brscan4 (which you probably also want) and brscan3 (for the dcp315 and older models).
These drivers allow for wifi scanning and printing, in case you are wondering.
Last but not least: I strongly advise setting a fixed IP for your printer, this will make things much simpler. Once that is done, you can add your printer from the cups frontend by simply using a path like: socket://192.168.1.129:9100 (adjust to your chosen IP). Network autodetection has never worked for me, probably because I just can't bother with stuff like Avahi and Zeroconf. Your mileage may vary.
I wrote this in a rush and the ebuild is, as said, untested. So if everything seems to fail just complain back and I'll try to do my best.  |

That's what I use as well.
Some distros offer crappy control panels in the traditional sense, but they all suck.
Sorry to have caused confussion. |

Well, then you need to fix that first.
So, you can't reach the web frontend by using this link, can you?
http://localhost:631
Is cupsd running at all?
| Code: | | $ ps aux|grep cupsd |
If it is, did you change the port?
| Code: | | $ grep -i listen /etc/cups/cupsd.conf |
Or maybe you disabled the web thing altogether:
| Code: | | $ grep -i webint /etc/cups/cupsd.conf |
What's the output of
Other things that could interfere are iptables or selinux. |

Ok, that seems ok.
So, what happens if you click this?
http://localhost:631
Any error? A blank page?  |

I discovered that as a user, I couldn't read cupsd.conf.
So I changed the permissions so "others" can read it.
But still no luck ): |

Does it work if you use this?

Also, does this command work?
| Code: | | $ ping 192.168.56.103 |
And this?

It seems your ip changes between sessions. Now it ends in 105 so what happens if you try to use that?

I just wanted to discard name resolution issues.
So, the cups embedded web server is completely broken or something odd is happening here.
Just to make sure, did you set up any iptables script or some other firewall solution?
If you use some iptables based thing you can check the active rules with iptables -L |

| Well, I guess it's time to look at the cups logs. They are under /var/log/cups I believe. I am not in front of my computer. Try to find them there. Maybe we can find a tip about what's going on here. |

Inside /var/log/cups/ are 3 files --> access_log error_log page_log
access_log and page_log have nothing inside it.
error_log has this:

I'm guessing I need to compile some option(s) into the kernel?
Not sure what though :/ |

Mmmm, now that's something, finally
I have never seen this before, but this:
Is a local ipv6 IP, so I think this crap relates to ipv6. Maybe your ebuilds are compiled with the ipv6 USE flag on but you haven't ipv6 support in your kernel? It's under networkking support->networking options->the ipv6 support
One more thing, do you have that alias in your /etc/hosts files? It should look something like this:
| Code: | 127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost |
Not sure why it would interfere with accessing via IP though. But give it a try. |

Okay I changed my localhost to above^^^
Cups didn't have an ipv6 use flag :/
I enabled acl dbus threads ssl X pam and re-emerged it
I also compiled ipv6 into my kernel.
And the webui seems to be working now  |

Wow, that was hard
I am glad that it's working. I suspect that it was enabling ipv6 in the kernel which did it, since I have acl disabled in cups and it doesn't make any sense that it or X or ssl would cause it, but anyway... it doesn't really matter.
So, now, if you wish, rewind and go back to my first post in the thread. There I describe how to install the drivers for your printer and scanner. As said in that post, I don't have the same exact model so I can't test the modified ebuild, but I might be able to help on getting it to work if you want. |

I have an mfc430w, and had a crappy ebuild for it. I have adapted it and it should work for the 435w, but it's untested.
First, make sure you have properly configured a local overlay. If you haven't done that yet (if you don't know, you probably haven't) all you need to do is this: mkdir /usr/local/portage, then edit /etc/portage/make.conf and add PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" to the end.
If you have enabled layman make sure that it's "source" line stays the last one (if you have no idea about this just skip it).
After that, do this:
Edited: unless you are in the testing branch, you will probably need to add a line like this to your /etc/portage/package.keywords to be able to emerge the package:
| Code: | | net-print/brother-mfc-j435w-drivers ~amd64 |
//
| Code: | $ cd /usr/local/portage
$ wget http://www.jesgue.es/downloads/brother-overlay-20141007.tar.bz2
$ tar xf brother-overlay-20141007.tar.bz2
$ emerge -va brother-mfc-j435w-drivers |
The driver should install, and it should appear in the web frontend.
The package also contains ebuilds for brscan4 (which you probably also want) and brscan3 (for the dcp315 and older models).
These drivers allow for wifi scanning and printing, in case you are wondering.
Last but not least: I strongly advise setting a fixed IP for your printer, this will make things much simpler. Once that is done, you can add your printer from the cups frontend by simply using a path like: socket://192.168.1.129:9100 (adjust to your chosen IP). Network autodetection has never worked for me, probably because I just can't bother with stuff like Avahi and Zeroconf. Your mileage may vary.
I wrote this in a rush and the ebuild is, as said, untested. So if everything seems to fail just complain back and I'll try to do my best. |
When I did # emerge -va brother-mfc-j435w-drivers it told me there are no ebuilds to satisfy it
Also I am using layman but not sure what you meant by the source line. |
