Hello,

<swedebugia@riseup=2Enet> ezt =
=C3=ADrta (id=C5=91pont: 2019=2E jan=2E 16=2E, Sze, 15:35):

 Hi

 I would rather not hav=
e to learn the CUPS web interface just to
 configure my printer=2E Do we=
 have a way to do this yet from config=2Escm? I
 think we should abstrac=
t away everything CUPS=2E

 Maybe we could make a guix printer import=
er?

 The idea is to extract information about the printer via Guile =
and print
 what the user need to add to the config=2Escm=2E

 Some=
thing like this:
 $ guix printer

 "Found 1 USB printer: HP DeskJe=
t 4330
 (cups-configuration
  (printer
    (name "HP DeskJet 4330"=

    (connection "usb://34234556"
    (settings
      (paper "a4"<=
br>      (source "default"
      =2E=2E=2E"

 When the user adds t=
his to their config=2Escm and reconfigures the printer
 JUST WORKS=2E
 Thoughts?

 Cheers

I'=
ve found the CUPS config stuff somewhat problematic=2E
The config file i=
s generated from another config file, and some other
things, that trigge=
r
regenerating the config=2E Sometimes even the printer ink level is
=
regenerating cups configs,
which is really annoying=2E Modifying files i=
n /etc is not a very nice
way to handle that indeed=2E
The problem is=
 known upstream, and seems to be won't fix=2E If we could
get around tha=
t in any sane way,
I would be very happy=2E

Best regards,
g_bo=
r

I did not understand what y= ou meant=2E Does the cups server regenerate you printer config automaticall= y?

I'm surprised nobody forked the CUPS project long ago=2E Maybe this sh= ould be a high priority for GNU?
