bjnp backend and turboprint
Verfasst: Di 18 Sep, 2012 21:41
hello
I am the author of the bjnp backend for Canon network support. I am now working on the backend again in order to add ipv6 support, and fix a few annoying issues. I have seen a lot of cases lately where the backend reports a problem reading side channel messages. cupsSideChannelRead() fails with status = 5, bad message. I checked with the standard version as shipped with turboprint and it does not show that behaviour. It does not report any side channel messages either. This could explain why I sometimes saw the messages, sometimes not. I normally use my distributions version of bjnp, but when I update turboprint, I assume it get overwritten with your version that does not report the issue to cups (could that be made optional, e.g. on checking if the distributions version is installed?)
As I could not find the source for the 0.54zedo version on your ftp-site, I wanted to ask a few questions:
1) did you remove that side-channel support from your version (maybe compiled against a cups 1.2?)
2) What side channel requests does you printer filter use, if any?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Louis
