If package media-gfx/iscan is installed and Epson USB Multi Functional Printer (MFP) is connected to computer, then installation of this printer in CUPS works without problems but any attept to print return timeout error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge media-gfx/iscan 2. connect Epson USB MFP & turn it on 3. install printer in CUPS 4. print testpage Actual Results: No reaction from printer CUPS printer status show timeout error Expected Results: Test page printed version of media-gfx/iscan - 2.7.0 (but I suspect other may have same problem) Cause: udev rules from media-gfx/iscan package change group of printer part of MFP from 'lp' to 'scanner', but CUPS expect printer belongs to 'lp' group
Created an attachment (id=127274) [edit] Simple workaround Patch to /etc/udev/rules.d/99-iscan.rules file, to workaround tgis problem
ok, accepted. I will include this patch asap, but I'm not sure if I should rev-bump it for this fix, which affects only very few people...
Please: if you change anything there, also move the file away from name 99-*.rules to something other. If you keep the rules as they are the number needs to be >50, as 50-udev.rules else overwrites the GROUP property (at the moment).
there's a new release already there. So I will put all changes to this new version first and then I try to patch the older versions also. btw: I had the rules-number at 75 before. But then I found: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 53211 2. Mai 16:50 99-libgphoto2.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 61163 2. Mai 16:56 99-libsane.rules so I thought it would be good to have it also at 99. Any suggestions for the number? 70s? 60s? But please not 50s.
Well, there seems not yet be some approved number scheme. For new stuff without any needs I suggest 40. And in this case some packages seem to use 55. If you do not want to do multiple changes you can also keep it now on 99 as the others did, and change that once we know what exactly we want to do :)
ok. ;-) after some final checks, I will commit new version this weekend.
fixed + new version in portage.
