Description Tim Waugh 2007-04-23 14:25:35 UTC
Description of problem:
The CUPS backend directory is: /usr/lib/cups/backend
It is *not*: %{_libdir}/cups/backend
Please install the CUPS backend in /usr/lib/cups/backend.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bluez-utils-cups-3.7-2

Background: by rights it ought to be /usr/libexec/cups/backend, however the
'libexec' directory is not in enough standards to satisfy the upstream CUPS
maintainer, so we use /usr/lib for consistency's sake to allow 3rd party
filters/backends/etc.

It looks like cups is still capable of printing using the bluetooth backend with
that problem, but it means that Bluetooth printer doesn't show up in
system-config-printer, or the HAL config interface.

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2007-05-23 08:12:28 UTC
Really?  If it knows where the backend is, it knows where it is.  I patched
cupsd so that it looks in /usr/lib/cups first, and then /usr/lib64/cups if we
ever used that location before on that architecture, so it will *find* the
backend currently.  I won't keep that 'legacy location' patch around forever though.

I think perhaps the bluetooth backend isn't performing discovery.

Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2007-05-23 08:39:22 UTC
I did "sudo cp /usr/lib64/cups/backend/bluetooth /usr/lib/cups/backend/" and it
showed up in the list afterwards.

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2007-05-23 08:48:27 UTC
Hm, didn't realise that effect.  Then it's even more important to ship it in the
correct place..

Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2007-05-29 17:02:49 UTC
I've moved the backend in bluez-utils-3.11-1 in devel.
