| 1 | CUPSWIZ - prototype CUPS printer-creation wizard
|
|---|
| 2 | Version 0.95
|
|---|
| 3 |
|
|---|
| 4 | Make sure cupsport.exe is either in the current directory or in the PATH.
|
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 | Usage: cupswiz <path-to-cups>
|
|---|
| 7 | (e.g. "cupswiz f:\cups")
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | <path-to-cups> can be omitted if cupswiz.exe is on the same drive as CUPS, or
|
|---|
| 10 | if OS2.INI defines the CUPS path in the key "eCups" -> "CUPS".
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | Requirements:
|
|---|
| 13 | - CUPS, including ECUPS.DRV and CUPS.PDR, must be installed and working.
|
|---|
| 14 | The CUPS daemon must be running.
|
|---|
| 15 | - CUPS.PDR should have a bldlevel of 1.03 (February 2011) or later. If not,
|
|---|
| 16 | the created WPS printer object will not work properly until you reboot
|
|---|
| 17 | (possibly restarting the WPS will also work, but I'm not sure about that).
|
|---|
| 18 | - GNU gzip.exe must be installed (somewhere on the PATH).
|
|---|
| 19 | - RINSTPRN.EXE (included with OS/2 MCP/ACP & eComStation, not sure about
|
|---|
| 20 | earlier versions) must also be somewhere on the PATH.
|
|---|
| 21 | - VROBJ.DLL (included in eComStation or available on Hobbes) is required.
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | Current limitations:
|
|---|
| 24 | - The CUPS printer is always created with default job options.
|
|---|
| 25 | - There is no way to go 'back'; if you need to go back and change a previous
|
|---|
| 26 | selection, you must cancel and start over.
|
|---|
| 27 | - The program has only been tested with Gutenprint, HPLIP, and (to a limited
|
|---|
| 28 | extent) foomatic-rip based printers. Other drivers packages such as SpliX
|
|---|
| 29 | or foo2qpdl may work but this is not guaranteed.
|
|---|
| 30 | - If your %TMP% directory has spaces in the pathname, the program will almost
|
|---|
| 31 | certainly fail to work properly. The same applies to your %LOGFILES%
|
|---|
| 32 | directory.
|
|---|
| 33 | - No internationalization support (yet).
|
|---|
| 34 | - No help or documentation.
|
|---|
| 35 | - Probably still has bugs due to my limited testing capabilities.
