Hi once again!
Out of my last trials with fc27 (after many desperate days of no-go
today having been successful on getting a working system installed by
stepping from Workstation-Live over live installation to setting up xfce
afterwords) I think there's still a long list of things to do. So for
the next three months one may hardly await any result that's really
useful. Doesn't matter so far for fc26 really amazes - good work,
already at current state! However, this time I feel obliged to give some
certain hint that in my opinion cannot be noticed early enough:
Although the recognition of a printer - be it connected what way ever -
still happens fast and securely and there's even information about
remaining toner or ink available printing commands seem to never reach
the device. I could only catch the message "Processing - src =
bidiCommon.c, line = 349, err = 0YnDEBUG2: prtMarkerSuppliesLevel.1.1 =
7" (In that message the 'Y' char here stands for the twice crossed non
printable figure).
This is an issue not only seen on Fedora but especially on all Debian
derived distros (including Ubuntu) from current Stretch/Sid or Ubuntu
16.10 on and therefore is most probably the result of the implementation
of one of the last CUPS versions. Fedora, however, up to fc26 has always
presented itself as most reliable whenever asked for connecting
peripheral hardware at all and I love it for and I don't want it to
change that behavior: That's the reason I want to tell you this special
problem here in time, so that maintainers perhaps can decide to have
CUPS on fc27 better fall back to the version last known good.
O.k., I hereby admit my printer isn't everybody's: a Canon i-sensys
LBP7100Cn color laser requiring Canon's UFR2lt driver consisting of the
"cndrvcups-common" and the "cndrvcups-ufr2lt" module to get installed
from .rpm or .deb files. Though, I'm repeating there has never been any
problem with integrating that partly proprietary software into CUPS up
to fc26, openSUSE Leap 42.2 and even Tumbleweed, Ubuntu 16.04 and Mint
18.1, and I love that printer because of it's excellent quality! I just
wonder at Debian which is indeed shipping with a bad CUPS integration
just before introducing Stretch as stable ...
Be the Ancients with Ye,
Gary
