Add the full IPP Everywhere support from Utopic to Trusty

Uploaded fixed versions of the cups-filters, system-config-printer, and cups packages to trusty-proposed now. As soon as they get approved they get available for installation and instructions for installing them get posted here. Please update all the packages and test the IPP Everywhere support. Report your results here as this is required for the update getting into the official updates or Trusty.

Daniel, I am very grateful if you could test the IPP-over-USB support with these updates on a Trusty system and with your IPP-over-USB printer.

You can already start testing before SRU -proposed approval by applying the three debdiffs.

Note for everyone who wants to test and for the SRU team. The SRU works only by updating all three packages, especially the binary package system-config-printer-udev needs the new cups-filters-ippusbxd package now.

Hello Till, or anyone else affected,

Accepted system-config-printer into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/1.4.3+20140219-0ubuntu2.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Daniel, can you test whether all is working correctly with IPP-over-USB on both Utopic and Trusty?

Hello Till

I'm still testing but something appears wrong. When I plug the printer
in I get "Missing sysattr idVendor" in the syslog. Which means the
device path udev-configure-printer is trying to find the vendor,
product ids, and serial number from, is not the device's root.

udev-configure-printer is reporting the device as
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-4/3-4:1.1 which is not the
device's root but instead the path to one of the device's interfaces.
But the patch I included should be navigating up the tree to the
device's root. This is one of the existing bugs I tried to fix that
occured before I made my patch. If I unplug and plug the printer into
a different usb port it correctly finds the vendor id.

This second time when it worked the path was:
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-10/3-10:1.1

I've even removed the ippusbxd binary from /usr/sbin so it is oing
through ippusb scanning. Which means, at least for this printer,
something more fundamental is broken.

Sorry, I do not had much time to work on printer stuff so I'm slowly
testing the patches.

Daniel

As a part of the Stable Release Updates quality process a search for Launchpad bug reports using the version of cups from trusty-proposed was performed and bug 1390724 was found. Please investigate this bug report to ensure that a regression will not be created by this SRU. In the event that this is not a regression remove the "verification-failed" tag from this bug report and tag 1390724 "bot-stop-nagging". Thanks!

Bug 1390724 is a bug in CUPS. The only change on the CUPS package for this SRU is a fix for a MIME type recognition rule, which cannot cause a bug like bug 1390724. Therefore removing the "verification-failed" tag and tagging bug 1390724 with "bot-stop-nagging".

SRU team, I would like to temporarily withdraw this SRU, as it still needs some fixing to be worked out with printer manufacturers and in the time being I would like to get another SRU into the updates, to fix bug 1401835 and bug 1398444 in Trusty. Can you reject/discard the package currently in trusty-proposed so that I can upload the package for the other SRU? Thanks.

packages removed from trusty-proposed; resetting bug state.

This bug was fixed in the package system-config-printer - 1.4.3+20140219-0ubuntu2.5

---------------
system-config-printer (1.4.3+20140219-0ubuntu2.5) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/35_ipp-over-usb-support.patch: Removed, IPP-over-USB support
    was not yet intended with this SRU.
  * debian/control: Removed dependency on cups-filters-ippusbxd package
    (LP: #1409263).

The Launchpad Janitor is confused and this was not fixed.
