Add Samsung drivers?
Opened this issue · 10 comments
My printer (and many other Samsung printers unfortunately) are dependent on package provided by Samsung with unversal driver.
It's SCX-4200 which is missing from CUPS, after I add PPD for it from https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/samsung-scx-4200-laser-multifunction-printer-series/19135263 I see that it's missing file:
Idle - "File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertospl" not available: No such file or directory"
I hope it's possible to easily add it to repo, so I could finally configure cups.. :)
If there's more info needed, please let me know
I do not plan to do any other modifications to that add-on unfortunately. I have made it public so anyone can modify according to their needs.
If you don't want to create your own image, then install portainer and access the terminal. You'll be able to install the Samsung driver from there.
This is quite problematic running OS and staying with healthy system tho ;-)
Hello,
thank you very much for this great work. It really works without problems ... if you do everything right.
I too have a Samsung ML-1630 for which there are no drivers under macos anymore. However, they are usually not in there under cups either.
There is a special driver for that:
printer-driver-splix
I cloned your add-on and then copied it as a local add-on via ftp to my homeassistant yellow.
Then uninstalled your add-on and installed my local one instead.
Still a little work and my old printer is also usable from mac again.
Maybe you can add the printer driver to the standard.
Many greetings

... and I still haven't found data/cups ...
I do not plan to add other drivers to the image as it is already quite a large one > 600 mbytes...
If you like you can replace the /data/cups with /config/cups - update the run.sh script. /config folder is visible to any add-on in the system.
I have a some days old yellow with 1TB SSD, so space is enough.
Used cups and home assistant separately on a Proxmox server.
This solution ist much more sophisticated. 2-4 Watt or 20 Watt 24/7.
Thank you again for your work and the immediate answers.
It's exactly what I was missing. I've just tried your repo and my printer worked too.
Grzegorz, would you consider adding that 1 line for driver for it to support such wide variety of printers? :)
I am very happy about that.
I now still have a Brother HL-2300 connected, for which you also had to find a driver first. But is now in and works.
I have added the change to /config/cups in my forked repository.
I have created a fork with the change in #8, but I think the change is small enough that it could be included here.
Maybe we could add a config entry inside home assistant specifying which extra deb packages to install on the next start of the add-on as there seem to be a few people wanting extra printer drivers to be installed. Then anyone who wants to install other drivers can specify their own ones without bloating the container with all of them.
