Hi, I have exactly the same problem. ipptool is installed by cups package but there is no ippfind. Do you have the zeroconf use-flag set? If not, please switch it on and check again. Setting zeroconf use-flag results in ippfind being installed for me (In reply to Geoff Leach from comment #3) > Setting zeroconf use-flag results in ippfind being installed for me Guessed so, since that is what it does. :) Hi, sorry I but do not understand why you close this. Regarding zeroconf, I do not see it explained in global flags nor under cups: https://www.gentoo.org/support/use-flags/ Second, I have my own cups config settings but I cannot use IPP protocol because the utility is missing. Please ensure the utility is installed for everybody. (In reply to Andreas K. Hüttel from comment #2) This is not a reasonable solution at all. Obviously, people who can think for themselves, should not be forced to use “zeroconf”, should they? The correct solution would be to disable whatever wants to use ippfind. (And smash it with a figurative hammer.) E.g. In my case, I have my printer set up. There is zero reason for it to “zeroconf” anything. To be frank: We are not mentally iDisabled. We are not brainless blobs that let “Siri” or whatever think for us, while drooling on “teh shiny” [sic]. That’s why we use Gentoo, after all. (In reply to Navid Zamani from comment #6) > The correct solution would be to disable whatever wants to use ippfind. (And > smash it with a figurative hammer.) No, that won't fix it - or not for me, anyway. Cups works fine here with gentoo-sources-4.9.95, but with 4.14.52 I get the reported error: "ippfind: no such file or directory". IMO ippfind should run and enable the user to click on the printer he wants to add instead of having to jump through all manner of arcane hoops in the ancient way. (In reply to Andreas K. Hüttel from comment #4) > (In reply to Geoff Leach from comment #3) > > Setting zeroconf use-flag results in ippfind being installed for me > > Guessed so, since that is what it does. :) Doesn't work, see bug 720958 It sounds like this ebuild should be IUSE="+zeroconf"? It seems reasonable to assume that most CUPS users will want to be able to discover with IPP printers on the network. This is caused by bug 695438, need to fix the usedeps for avahi. *** Bug 720958 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** this should be fixed with latest ebuilds |
