I'm not Linux savvy enough to figure out what this means, suffice to say that CUPS service wouldn't start and I'm not certain why. It said it failed and the details are shown below.

From there I tried to uninstall then reinstall from the Ubuntu Software Center.

I then tried to install by building from the source to no avail. I attempted to start the service and failed. I'm a bit of a novice so I started reading and saw that CUPS was likely the culprit. Go into the gnome-control-center printers settings, remove the printer and recreate it.I updated to Ubuntu 11.10 and since then my printer could not be seen. When you create a printer profile you get a freeze version of cups filter and when cups is updated, because you have upgraded your system, and garbage collected this version is gone. When you add an printer in Gnome (using gnome-control-center printers) you create a profile for your printer.īut, later you may experience an error like "/nix/store/./lib/cups/filter/pstospl not available: No such file or directory". You could try to manually fix the path variable in /var/lib/cups/nfĪlternatively you could try to delete the file and run sudo nixos-rebuild switch File is missing (Gnome 3) But it can be overwritten, and consequentially become outdated. When printing, cups will report an error: Unable to launch Ghostscript: gs: No such file or directoryĬups will look for the binary path in it's config file: nf '' Unable to launch Ghostscript: gs: No such file or directory If this didn't help, then check if cups has generated ssl keys in /etc/cups/sslĮdit your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix and add the following lines: Try restarting cups and using the web interface again. However it is possible that cups fails to generate these keys, and then the page will fail to load.Įither we can help cups to get ssl keys, or we can tell it to not use https at all.įirst make sure the directory /etc/cups/ssl exists: When you are using http and cups wants authentication it will redirect you to a https version by default. Using the cups web interface, the page tells you "Upgrade Required" and then redirects you to a page that fails to load.

How to properly setup a shared (home) printer? #13901.

If it does not contain any reference then you should be able to simply do this: Note that the name of the file does not change the way cups will list it as the model/manufacturer is written inside the (text) ppd.Īs in the imperative method, first check that your file does not contain any reference to binaries outside the store like /bin/ or /usr/. You just need to create a derivation that puts the PPD file in $out/share/cups/model/yourfile.ppd (you can also put it in a subfolder like $out/share/cups/model/HP/yourfile.ppd to limit conflicts between ppd having the same name).

You can also declaratively add the PPD as a new driver by creating a simple derivation.

add the printer with system-config-printer (for example) and at the 'choose driver' screen choose 'provide PPD file'.

You can certainly install the binaries yourself and point to the new binary, but it is certainly easier to patch the executables in a derivation (see below) to avoid garbage collection of your binaries. If it does, this method is unlikely to work, as the PPD file depends on executables not present on your system.

Open the PPD as a text file, and check that it does not mention FHS paths like /usr/bin.

Download the required PPD file, for example from.

If no driver is found for your printer, even when is correctly populated (see above), With a raw PPD Provide the PPD imperatively “cups add printer” for further information. You may need to authenticate when you add the printer. Alternatively, some desktop environments may provide GUI interfaces for adding printers, for example system-config-printer. Navigate to in a web browser to configure printers.
