I have a problem sharing my printer (HP OfficeJet 5610) which is
connected via USB to a machine that hosts Ubuntu 9.04 server edition
with Kubuntu GUI; I cannot view the shared printer from my Windows XP
machine, although it seems to have been installed successfully and
test pages can be printed from the local machine where the printer is
installed. So basically I would like to print to a shared printer
from a Windows XP machine.
Another machine running Windows Vista does not even connect to the
Ubuntu 9.04 server, however this seems to be a Vista driver
compatiblity issue.
As a troubleshooting step I tried upgrading to CUPS 1.4.1, and I ran
the following commands:
drwxr-xr-x 4 administrator administrator 4096 2009-10-26 17:51 ..
drwxr-xr-x 29 administrator administrator 4096 2009-10-26 17:52 cups-1.4.1

I try to open the browser to the following address:
http://localhost:631/admin/, and, the UI reads that I have CUPS 1.3.9
installed.
So, how do I uninstall the previous version if it is not being
uninstalled or upgraded with this process?
Am I missing something out?

INSTALL - CUPS v1.4.0 - 2009-06-26
----------------------------------
This file describes how to compile and install CUPS from source code. For more
information on CUPS see the file called "README.txt". A complete change log can
be found in "CHANGES.txt".
**** IF YOU HAVE A NON-POSTSCRIPT PRINTER AND ARE NOT ****
**** RUNNING MAC OS X, YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO INSTALL GPL ****
**** GHOSTSCRIPT WITH THE "cups" DRIVER AFTER YOU INSTALL ****
**** CUPS. ****
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
You'll need ANSI-compliant C and C++ compilers, plus a make program and
POSIX-compliant shell (/bin/sh). The GNU compiler tools and Bash work well
and we have tested the current CUPS code against several versions of GCC
with excellent results.
The makefiles used by the project should work with most versions of make.
We've tested them with GNU make as well as the make programs shipped by
Compaq, HP, SGI, and Sun. BSD users should use GNU make (gmake) since BSD
make does not support "include".
Besides these tools you'll want the JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and ZLIB libraries for
image support, the CDSA, GNU TLS, or OpenSSL libraries for encryption
support, the OpenLDAP and OpenSLP libraries for directory services support,
and either MIT (1.6.3 or higher) or Heimdal Kerberos for Kerberos support.
CUPS will compile and run without these, however you'll miss out on many of
the features provided by CUPS.
Also, please note that CUPS does not include the Ghostscript-based
PostScript filter needed by non-PostScript printers. You *must* download
GPL Ghostscript separately from the CUPS web site if you want to print
PostScript files to non-PostScript printers on operating systems other than
Mac OS X.
COMPILING THE SUBVERSION REPOSITORY CODE
The CUPS Subversion repository doesn't hold a copy of the pre-built
configure script. You'll need to run the GNU autoconf software (2.60 or
higher) to create it:
autoconf
CONFIGURATION
CUPS uses GNU autoconf, so you should find the usual "configure" script in
the main CUPS source directory. To configure CUPS for your system, type:
./configure
The default installation will put the CUPS software in the "/etc", "/usr",
and "/var" directories on your system, which will overwrite any existing
printing commands on your system. Use the "--prefix" option to install the
CUPS software in another location:
./configure --prefix=/some/directory
To see a complete list of configuration options, use the --help option:
./configure --help
If any of the dependent libraries are not installed in a system default
location (typically "/usr/include" and "/usr/lib") you'll need to set the
CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, DSOFLAGS, and LDFLAGS environment variables
prior to running configure:
setenv CFLAGS "-I/some/directory"
setenv CPPFLAGS "-I/some/directory"
setenv CXXFLAGS "-I/some/directory"
setenv DSOFLAGS "-L/some/directory"
setenv LDFLAGS "-L/some/directory"
./configure ...
or:
CFLAGS="-I/some/directory" \
CPPFLAGS="-I/some/directory" \
CXXFLAGS="-I/some/directory" \
DSOFLAGS="-L/some/directory" \
LDFLAGS="-L/some/directory" \
./configure ...
The "--enable-debug" option compiles CUPS with debugging information
enabled. Additional debug logging support can be enabled using the
"--enable-debug-printfs" option - these debug messages are enabled using the
CUPS_DEBUG_LOG environment variable at run-time.
CUPS also includes an extensive set of unit tests that can be used to find
and diagnose a variety of common problems - use the "--enable-unit-tests"
configure option to run them at build time.
Once you have configured things, just type:
make ENTER
or if you have FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD type:
gmake ENTER
to build the software.
TESTING THE SOFTWARE
Aside from the built-in unit tests, CUPS includes an automated test
framework for testing the entire printing system. To run the tests, just
type:
make check ENTER
or if you have FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD type:
gmake check ENTER
The test framework runs a copy of the CUPS scheduler (cupsd) on port 8631
in /tmp/cups-$USER and produces a nice HTML report of the results.
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
Once you have built the software you need to install it. The "install"
target provides a quick way to install the software on your local system:
make install ENTER
or for FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD:
gmake install ENTER
You can also build binary packages that can be installed on other machines
using the RPM spec file ("packaging/cups.spec") or EPM list file
("packaging/cups.list"). The latter also supports building of binary RPMs,
so it may be more convenient to use.
You can find the RPM software at:
http://www.rpm.org/
The EPM software is available at:
http://www.epmhome.org/
CREATING BINARY DISTRIBUTIONS WITH EPM
The top level makefile supports generation of many types of binary
distributions using EPM. To build a binary distribution type:
make <format> ENTER
or
gmake <format> ENTER
for FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. The <format> target is one of the
following:
epm - Builds a script + tarfile package
aix - Builds an AIX package
bsd - Builds a *BSD package
deb - Builds a Debian package
depot - Builds a HP-UX package (also swinstall)
inst - Builds an IRIX package (also tardist)
osx - Builds a MacOS X package
pkg - Builds a Solaris package
rpm - Builds a RPM package
setld - Build a Tru64 UNIX package
slackware - Build a Slackware package
swinstall - Build a HP-UX package (also depot)
tardist - Builds an IRIX package (also inst)
GETTING DEBUG LOGGING FROM CUPS
When configured with the "--enable-debug-printfs" option, CUPS compiles in
additional debug logging support in the scheduler, CUPS API, and CUPS
Imaging API. The following environment variables are used to enable and
control debug logging:
CUPS_DEBUG_FILTER Specifies a POSIX regular expression to control
which messages are logged.
CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL Specifies a number from 0 to 9 to control the
verbosity of the logging. The default level is 1.
CUPS_DEBUG_LOG Specifies a log file to use. Specify the name "-"
to send the messages to stderr. Prefix a filename
with "+" to append to an existing file.
REPORTING PROBLEMS
If you have problems, READ THE DOCUMENTATION FIRST! If the documentation
does not solve your problems, please post a message on the "cups.general"
forum at:
http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php
Include your operating system and version, compiler and version, and any
errors or problems you've run into. The "config.log" file and the output
from the configure script and make should also be sent, as it often helps to
determine the cause of your problem.
If you are running a version of Linux, be sure to provide the Linux
distribution you have, too.

printer discovery (STR #3065)
- The web interface and scheduler did not support URIs up to 1024 bytes
in length (STR #3072)
- Fixed pdftops issues with page sizes (STR #3063)
- Fixed pdftops issues with Ghostscript (STR #3062)
- The scheduler incorrectly registered default profiles for PostScript
printers with no specified colorspace.
- The scheduler incorrectly created an empty org.cups.printers.plist
file on Mac OS X.
