I'll see if the stores near me let me do this. I went to a store and tested 8 different printers. They didn't work with Guix System, but I couldn't tell if the printer's fault or not. Going forward, I think I'm going to bring along a more mainstream FSDG-compliant distro, like Trisquel, so it's easier to tell if the failure to print is a Guix-specific problem. In some cases, when I printed a PDF from Evince, it printed the top half of the PDF on the top half of the page, and the bottom half of the page was blank. It was as if the printer stopped printing in mid-sentence. In spite of this, I was sometimes able to print an entire page from the CUPS admin web UI, and also while viewing a PDF from within IceCat. So I think our Evince is messed up. Evince has a history of suspicious printing behavior on Guix. See: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-02/msg00195.html I also noticed that for each printer with a scanner, sane-find-scanner was able to find the scanner, but simple-scan and scanimage said they couldn't find the scanner, even when I ran them as root. Maybe I configured it incorrectly? I wasn't able to scan at all. Anyway, my quest for a printer continues. I'll let you know if and when I find "The One"! As always, if anyone has more info to share, please do. =2D-=20 Chris --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEy/WXVcvn5+/vGD+x3UCaFdgiRp0FAlygXpwACgkQ3UCaFdgi Rp0tww//eXIRiqbRSYPgdlIHzTurKY6zoNSUMWs0EZDZpESxhLwoqYhlJ6uiMQI1 gPVWvG39qLQn7Ok0ct7o+kt25ZxnNIP24ZlRNVKC34dCIdbwvLxfOAPQcptXaK6e TEy+6Hlgt5pvSl4N9lCR4SvfyI71AP3/vyaPs7TVu/PeAPd95HrxUHEKZ3bByWkf Nexe44g1lRGhNph3wdS22IDwDkEc8JsQR5t+GXs+6Gy7b3lofb5Gp5jnpr2fWeAw gj1kkGzmKtf6Ya78Hf+gd3aF/abzfewgJtJeJZVJZn0zWZc/wDDXl3inhq1RJ9EV LCbPGrPgSc4/YA7YSVxBY3x+GGdsW1ds0ilHl07SyWK0xcfXgNpxHa6pYYdLgmFG dQn7JOBqKMtGpDtES7Ia9oZZmxGOWq33bwBcr/Sq9e6WkuUxKToAXL6ercAXEaAv I7JpIfEbRruevAWHpi8VMC1CWgsLzKsNojA+s/FjAxMFqC0vkGGTOSZslsM37VKq Zk1f6siBSbndzQ/G/evGyOku1+Mscc/ShqnRu+nKgcD+x3/tJ7FYMyjv6rpbtDf3 zb1WS8TsGrkCK81juSeFhukDikoAfXCpDn/1+haE0mMUy/vXJqCmzRFZbqJ+ZrQc kfl7FSPx638bvfdELC2pMQ9VNBec5oRCvEMYBv9hiv1reXjLY18= =yA+K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
