Hi, I've updated the package to the latest version, and will keep it up to date in the future :) Happy labeling!

Please be aware the dependencies have changed for blabel, and that you install perl-net-cups from AUR.

How to fix CUPS.xs:15:11: fatal error: cupsfilters/image.h: No such file or directory

If perl-net-cups fails with the fatal error mentioned above, then you need to install cups-filters to fix it. I have already requested the maintainer of perl-net-cups to update his package with this dependency.

@pappl do you have all the dependencies installed?

The error message suggests that you need to install the Net::CUPS module -- if I remember correctly that should be in the perl-net-cups package.

Blabel force closes immediately.

Works out of the box on Manjaro KDE. Install via AUR in Pamac. Plug in via USB (Printer switch on position E), power on. Open printer settings in manjaro -> Unlock -> Add printer button -> Install as Generic (recommended) - Text only printer -> OK Open Blabel app -> Print Great. I'm happy

@bofh1337 Thanks for the report, I have added perl-gd as a dependency to the package. Good to see that you resolved your issue.

@Alpha_Seven I got gd installed, but perl-gd was not installed. Installing it fixed the problem. So its a missing dependency i guess. Thank you.

I already tried installing gd with cpan and that doesn´t worked.

@bofh1337 Do you have GD installed? On my computer I find:

$ sudo pacman -Q|egrep "^gd |perl-gd"

gd 2.3.0-1

perl-gd 2.71-1

blabel stopped printing in my case. It seems to be missing the GD module:

@Alpha_Seven Packages installed from the AUR, which have dependencies on other packages in the AUR, does not install those dependencies automatically. You'll have to resolve those yourself. Only packages in the community repo is installed automatically when you install the blabel package. In this case perl-net-cups is an AUR dependency and has to be resolved manually.

@jakeobsen I thought it was blabel's job to resolve that dependency, i. e. to install the package needed. I'll install perl-net-cups manually now. Thanks for your advice!

@Alpha_Seven it seems that you have a missing dependency, you need to install the AUR package perl-net-cups as it's a new dependency for blabel.
