Not sure if this is a bug or configuration issue...

I have a printer attached to a CUPS 1.4.8 server (HP DeskJet? 990C with HPLIP) on eCS 2.1 that works well. I can print from remote eCS clients to the server using a CUPS output port on the printer object.

Now I need to have CUPS installed locally on the clients (for QT and Java apps). I need to be able to print to the local CUPS and have that sent to the CUPS running on the server with the printer. I have tried setting up the CUPS printer on the clients using the ipp:// backend, but trying to print the test page just hangs 'processing page 1' forever, and no print job gets to the server. Trying the ​http:// backend always results in 'http backend failed' messages.

I also tried using Alex Taylors 'CupsWiz?' program (in eCS 2.2 beta) on a client to install the printer, and after selecting my printer from the list offered, the program hangs 'Looking for connected printers. Please wait...'. Then a VX-REXX window appears that says: 'Password for unknown on 192.168.0.2?' (the CUPS server with the printer). There is no password (that I know of) so this is a bit baffling. CUPSWIZ is hung and must be killed.

The errors start with

An error occurred unpacking the current archive. Current file: "cups\share\cups\templates\it\choose-serial.tmpl"

and similar errors to numerous to list.

cups-base-1_4_8.wpi always tries to search for dlls in the first line of config.sys that contains the word LIBPATH= even if it is a line commented out with rem. I have corrected the issue by adding the following line 2 to the installation script:

1: DO i = 1 TO match.0 2: IF left(strip(match.i),length('LIBPATH='))=='LIBPATH=' THEN DO 3: PARSE UPPER VAR match.i 'LIBPATH=' _lpath 4: IF _lpath <> THEN LEAVE 5: END 6: END

Futhermore I had to crop the optional package dependency with no 99 (error message: invalid package dep. no or similar)
