Want to test gnome-cups-manager patches?

[Jeremy Messenger]

Hello folks,

I have taken a lot of useful patches from Ubuntu Linux. I don't have any  
of printer in my hand at the moment, so I will need someone to test it for  
me. You can use either two patches or two tarballs of full ports. Download  
two files (libgnomecups and gnome-cups-manager) from  
http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/diff/ .

You need to make sure you have all installed ports to have the latest  
version such as cups should be 1.2.7. Make sure to uninstall libgnomecups  
and gnome-cups-manager first. After that, install libgnomecups first and  
gnome-cups-manager second. If you use tarballs, then just extract and get  
in to do the 'make install'. If you use patch, then following the steps:

	# cd /usr/ports/print
	# patch -p0 < /path/to/libgnomecups.diff
	# patch -p0 < /path/to/gnome-cups-manager.diff
	# find libgnomecups -name \*.orig -delete
	# find gnome-cups-manager -name \*.orig -delete
	Uninstall and install both of these ports.

As for the cups setup, sorry, I don't know much about cups. You can read  
in print/cups-base/pkg-message for what you are supposed to setup with  
cups and add cupsd_enable="YES" in /etc.rc.conf. You need to make sure you  
have cups running or gnome-cups-manager will complaining about that you  
don't have cups running. After that, try to run gnome-cups-manager (by  
either via command or click in menu) to see if you can add printer and do  
the stuff from there.

BTW: I am not sure if it is required to have usbd_enable="YES" in  
/etc/rc.conf if you are using USB printer. If it does, then let me know.

Cheers,
Mezz
