#178406 — Printing packages

FromRodolfo Medina <rodolfo.medina@gmail.com>
Date2017-03-04 19:20 +0100
SubjectPrinting packages
Message-ID<thmrE-4HP-9@gated-at.bofh.it>
Hi all.

In order to print, I used to do:

 # aptitude install cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-client libcupsimage2 cups-driver-gutenprint cupsys-driver-gutenprint gs-esp

, but now cupsys seems not to exist any more.  Please, what packages now should
I install in place of those above?  I'm running Sid.

More in general, I often face this kind of problem: when I want to re-install a
certain package some time later, on another machine, the packages names have
changed and I don't the new names.  So I have to search hard, blindly, trying
to guess, looking here and there randomly...  Isn't there, in Debian packages
policy, a way to always know what packages have replaced the old ones?

Thanks for any help,

Rodolfo

cupsys disappeared many, many moons ago. You want

  apt-get install cups

Brian's answers are always wonderfully short. Yay, him! :D

What I do for something like this (when I don't know something like
that cupsys is no longer) is I go down the line trying to install the
various packages by themselves, too. Sometimes (aka *not always*) that
will trigger my favored package manager to install the newer version
replacement as part of the dependency functions of the various package
installers...

When that doesn't work, I regress to attempting a package manager
query using only outstanding pieces of the name (e.g. "gutenprint")
related to whatever package appears to no longer be available.

AND/OR....

Another angle of attack is to query for the "depends" and "rdepends"
(reverse depends) of any notable package names among the list I might
be trying to install. An example is that i just tried
"printer-driver-gutenprint":

+++++++++++

candycane@northpole:~$ apt-cache depends printer-driver-gutenprint
printer-driver-gutenprint
  Depends: libc6
  Depends: libcups2
  Depends: libcupsimage2
  Depends: libgutenprint2
  Depends: libusb-1.0-0
  Depends: cups
  Depends: cups-client
 |Depends: cups-filters
  Depends: <ghostscript-cups>
  Suggests: gutenprint-doc
  Suggests: gutenprint-locales

candycane@northpole:~$ apt-cache rdepends printer-driver-gutenprint
printer-driver-gutenprint
Reverse Depends:
  gutenprint-doc
  printer-driver-all-enforce
  printer-driver-all
  cups
  parl-desktop-strict
  cups-daemon

+++++++++++

Just thinking out loud........ Most definitely not as succinctly as
Brian. *indubitably*

The second one is above my pay grade. :) I'll mention that you might
find the wiki useful if it is some time since you messed with the
printing system.

Why, since you are using aptitude, not keep things simple? You actually want 
to run CUPS, so <$ aptitude search cups>, then gulp and <$aptitude search 
cups | less.>, which will give you all the packages with cups in the name.

Or in Jessie, <$aptitude show cups>, but for that you need to know, or try 
guessing, that cups is a meta-package, which it may not be in Sid.  So start 
with aptitude search and read patiently through what it says.

That make sense. My old Fiat Punto would often come to a full stop.

Good advice and I know you like to learn things too. cups is not a
metapackage. Removing a metapackage does not remove the packages it
installed. Try

  apt-get purge cups

Don't say "yes"!

That command will only show, among the packages that depend on cups, the ones
that are *already* installed on your system, won't it...?

You certainly shouldn't try that Rudolpho!!  It was aimed at me - and yes 
Brian, you are of course right - I tried it once longer ago than I am 
prepared to admit to remembering.  (I was told to do it - with good reason.  
And did it, not knowing what to expect!)

I installed:

  cups cups-bsd cups-client libcupsimage2 printer-driver-gutenprint

, but when I point the web browser to:

 http://localhost:631

, and try to add my printer, it does not see it in the `local printers'.  Maybe
I'm missing some other packages?  Please any suggestions, thanks.

For what purpose do you need cups-bsd?

cups-client and libcupsimage2 are Depends: of cups. 'apt-get install cups'
gives you them. printer-driver-gutenprint is a Recommends:; you should get
that too.

You are not missing anything. Please post the output from

  lpinfo -v

(Has the wiki been mentioned yet)?
