>Description:
To interface with CUPS, print/hpoj needs to install a working interface
script in ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/cups/backend. The link to
${LOCALBASE}/sbin/ptal-cups fails to execute. It has a shell
reference of #!/bin/bash which does not exist on FreeBSD even if
shells/bash2 is installed. Hence, the script crashes.
Also, the startup script in ${LOCALBASE}/etc/rc.d MUST start before
cups.sh--but it won't because scripts are executed in alphanumeric
order.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install print/cups and print/hpoj. Execute ptal-init start and then
try to setup up a printer under CUPS using hpoj. The PTAL device
will not be detected.
>Fix:
Workaround:
1) install shells/bash2
2) patch ptal-cups to use #!/usr/local/bin/bash
3) restart hpoj and then CUPS
4) the PTAL device will now be detected
5) also rename the startup script so that it begins with 000.
Fix:
Appropriate, trivial patches to print/hpoj should do the trick.
1) make shells/bash2 a RUN_DEPENDS of print/hpoj OR
2) patch ptal-cups so it works under /bin/sh
3) patch ptal-cups anyway so that it runs with an appropriate
shell
4) patch the HTML documentation using REINPLACE_CMD so that the
paths match up with reality on the installed system
5) change the name of the sample startup script so it will
start before CUPS
NOTE: Because hpijs is NOT enabled (and no switch is provided
in the port to do so) in print/cups-pstoraster, most of the
functionality of hpoj is wasted. Please enable print/hpijs under
print/cups-pstoraster.
