Getting a printer to work: Processing - "Color Manager: no profiles specified in PPD

Hi,

I am trying to setup a HP Photosmart C3100 printer on Guix and when
trying to print the job fails with


       Processing - "Color Manager: no profiles specified in PPD


Also when I try to configure the printer from the web interface
( http://localhost:631/printers ), see the error in the log
E [19/Jan/2019:22:00:23 +0100] Unable to create "/gnu/store/qv49wv0b5s2jmn4ln3r14v4bks18wqp0-cupsd.conf.N": Read-only file system

Can you give me a pointer how I could fix that?


I tried adding the printer with hplip-minimal and now also with hplip
hp-setup, but the error exists in both setups.


Best wishes,
Arne

I also had issues getting a printer to run, and I remember having
"read-only file system" issues.

I had asked for help a while ago, maybe some links there could help you out:

Best of luck!

Thank you!

At least IJS is already available (as ijs).

I can now use my printer, but only in grayscale (using only black) or
directly from the hp-print utility (but without nice intergration).

Best wishes,
Arne
