Hi. would you consider updating to the latest version (2.50)? Thanks.

The Zedonet ftp server no longer accepts connections. (According to Zedonet forums, it's been turned off, however the ftp server is still running, but asks for login details, which no customer has.) If anyone needs to download older versions, use the Zedonet archive at https://zedonet.com/ftp/tp2/ instead.

Installing the package doesn't automatically install desktop widgets. Running /usr/share/turboprint/lib/install-post as root installs the widget, but I'm not sure if this is safe. For example, this script copies an init script to /etc/init.d (a file, not a directory.)

Important note: before upgrading to this package, make sure any AUR helper you use does save earlier versions in /var/cache/pacman/pkg. Otherwise, if the period covered by your license key for upgrades has expired, this package will not work. In which case you may find earlier versions of turboprint here: ftp://ftp.zedonet.com/tp2

The listed version 2.47.1-1 is no longer available for download. The currently available version is turboprint-2.48-2.x86_64.tgz

Until the package is updated, edit the PKGBUILD during install and change

pkgver to 2.48.2

md5sum for x86_64 = 1e10ba5d88c2754b264027a0a2207d64

sha256sum for x86_64 = 76c8e4e4b02f37da09c7711226b978b64aa6f7a9b4280a9a42e9e6da69a658e8

I won't maintain this package anymore, a new maintainer can take it. Regards.

If you encounter the "curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found ==> ERROR: Failure while downloading http://www.turboprint.info/tp2/turboprint-2.40-1.x86_64.tgz" error, do the following, until this package is updated: During installation say 'yes' to editing the PKGBUILD file. Change pkgver=2.40 to pkgver=2.43 and md5sums_x86_64=('775506a50c1faf6cb7b7d55312f3c3b4') to md5sums_x86_64=('c860f5335a12e4ffd5d83c4fa275b2af') That works for me.

This isn't working for me right now. I'm getting the following error message: ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found turboprint.desktop -> Found turboprint-monitor.desktop -> Found tprintdaemon.service -> Downloading turboprint-2.40-1.x86_64.tgz... % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found ==> ERROR: Failure while downloading http://www.turboprint.info/tp2/turboprint-2.40-1.x86_64.tgz Aborting... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build turboprint.

Hi, thank you for the patch. My license is not valid anymore and I won't probably use turboprint anymore. I can update the package, but somebody has to test it. Do you have a license ? Could you test the package ?

Hi rrkadio, I had a look at the file tprintdaemon.service. The file is included in the package. What you want is that the service is enabled after the installation of the package, right ?

commented on 2016-11-27 09:36 (UTC)

@rrkadio Thank you for your answer. I also answer very late. I'll have a look in about one week. At the moment I can't because I have a lot of work. Thank you for the information, I'll be able to solve the problem faster.

rrkradio commented on 2016-11-13 19:29 (UTC) (edited on 2016-11-13 19:29 (UTC) by rrkradio)

@tristelune Sorry for the delay .. i confirm that the turboprint monitor launch but don't work properly..... you need to create the following file and enable services below For systemd you need to create a service file, Create /etc/systemd/system/tprintdaemon.service with the following information [Unit] Description=TurboPrintDaemon [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/usr/bin/tprintdaemon Restart=on-abort [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Then just install/start the above service file using: sudo systemctl enable tprintdaemon.service sudo systemctl start tprintdaemon.service After that the monitor works (ink levels, queue,etc) roby

commented on 2016-10-14 09:40 (UTC)

Update to version 2.40. @rrkadio:do you still have the problem ? If yes, when exactly ? I tried to start turboprint and I had no problem.

rrkradio commented on 2016-09-29 21:58 (UTC) (edited on 2016-09-29 21:59 (UTC) by rrkradio)

There is a new release 2.40-1 The problem related to "turboPrint daemon not started" is still present in your 2.39-1. The workaround [create a service as explained by whompus (2012-12-19 21:16)] works like a charm.

commented on 2016-03-06 09:57 (UTC)

The package has been updated to turboprint 2.39-1

commented on 2014-12-15 16:54 (UTC)

Hello, I'm the new maintainer. I will update this package as soon as I can. Just tell me if you have some wishes.

commented on 2014-11-14 13:41 (UTC)

There is a new version: turboprint 2.35-2. I have contacted the maintainer to update the package. If there is a problem, I can update it.

Flagged out of date. New version available: turboprint-2.34-1

TheCubeIsALie commented on 2014-06-24 17:43 (UTC)

Finally got around to updating this! I've removed the rc.d service file from the PKGBUILD, and most people are now using systemd on Arch. Changelogs from the previous versions - 26-mar-14 - 2.33-1 - Canon PIXMA iX6820/iX6850, iP8720/iP8750 drivers added - Canon PIXMA MX472/MX475, MX532/MX535, iP2820/iP2850 drivers added - Epson Stylus NX330 driver added - Epson WorkForce WF2010W, WF2510WF drivers added - HP DesignJet T120, T520, T920, T1500, T2500 drivers added - HP DesignJet Z5200 driver added 08-jan-14 - 2.32-1 - Canon PIXMA Pro 10 driver added - problem with Canon PIXMA MG7120/MG7150 driver fixed

jhernberg commented on 2014-02-12 21:41 (UTC)

Suppose you could remove this line nowdays: install -D -m755 "${srcdir}/tprintdaemon" "${pkgdir}/etc/rc.d/tprintdaemon"

jcci commented on 2013-02-25 06:29 (UTC)

TurboPrint 2.29-1 is out and includes the driver I need.

net147 commented on 2013-01-31 23:20 (UTC)

Fixed.

kar commented on 2013-01-31 15:54 (UTC)

I have the same problem like Aerion! The md5sums is wrong.

Aerion commented on 2013-01-29 14:26 (UTC)

The md5sum fails on turboprint-2.28-1.x86_64.tgz

net147 commented on 2012-12-27 04:58 (UTC)

Updated and added service file.

whompus commented on 2012-12-19 21:16 (UTC)

For systemd you need to create a service file, got this info from a german site Create /etc/systemd/system/tprintdaemon.service with the following information [Unit] Description=TurboPrintDaemon [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/usr/bin/tprintdaemon Restart=on-abort [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Then just install/start the above service file using: sudo systemctl enable tprintdaemon.service sudo systemctl start tprintdaemon.service

Teyro commented on 2012-12-19 19:45 (UTC)

Since i reinstalled my system with systemd the turboprint status monitor doenst work for me! I cant wath the status of my inc...

net147 commented on 2012-09-15 07:09 (UTC)

Updated and fixed.

matse commented on 2012-06-14 13:28 (UTC)

Another thing that I realized is that you get an error if you remove turboprint and don't have "/usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4" (from kdelibs) installed. Then pacman says (after pacman -Rsc turboprint): "error: command failed to execute correctly". As I said it's because of this line in your post install funcion [ -x /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 ] && /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 &>/dev/null Since kdelibs are just an optdepend of turboprint you can maybe update it that it executes this line just if "kbuildsycoca4" exists with something like test -x $(type -p kbuildsycoca4

matse commented on 2012-03-27 15:03 (UTC)

Thanks! Great work!

net147 commented on 2012-03-27 08:36 (UTC)

Updated.

matse commented on 2012-02-16 12:24 (UTC)

Package works nice, thanks for your work! I have just some additions to make with which I had to cope to get my printer running: You don't seem to run the "install-post" script during the installation. I gues this script makes some essential changes (some are probably unneccesary on arch) like setting the suid bit vor "/usr/share/turboprint/lib/pipeutility". "pipeutility" creates an user folder in "/var/spool/turboprint/USERNAME", which is neccessary in order to be able to use some featuers like "manual duplex printing". Another thing is that normally "turboprint-monitor" should be started with the user login, a script which creates the neccesary .desktop files is "/usr/lib/turboprint/95turboprint_monitor", so turboprint-monitor is started in the background as soon as the user logs into a DE. So to summarize my proposals: Change you PKGBUILD so that "/usr/share/turboprint/lib/pipeutility" permissions become "4755" and write a notice that every user that wants to use turboprint should execute that pipeutility as well as executing "/usr/lib/turboprint/95turboprint_monitor".

turboprint-2.22-2 is out... please update

JohnDVD commented on 2011-11-09 11:00 (UTC)

Can anyone bring turboprint 1.96.* back to work? cups seems to be downgraded. I wasn't successful with cups and libcups 1.4.8 Buying a new license sucks!

Kompilator commented on 2011-08-11 14:30 (UTC)

Since version 2.20 I can't select the print previev function in tpmonitor as normal user. As root the print preview works for me.

net147 commented on 2011-07-10 02:54 (UTC)

matse: Thanks for the feedback. I haven't used turboprint with a supported printer in several years so I can't actually verify that everything works properly myself. Feedback from actual users of this package is the only way for me to tell if all is working as it should.

matse commented on 2011-07-08 00:22 (UTC)

Thanks for the package, works flawlessly!

dbrgn commented on 2011-05-16 13:54 (UTC)

In case someone also has problems configuring the printer, this might help (german): http://www.turboprint.de/support/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=621&p=2625#p2625

net147 commented on 2011-03-26 01:03 (UTC)

Updated to turboprint 2.18-2 and fixed installation of some components.

oliwer commented on 2011-03-25 21:44 (UTC)

turboprint 2.18-2 is out. libpng12 is no longer needed, and my printer refused to work unless i copy /usr/share/turboprint/lib/pstoturboprint to /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoturboprint

net147 commented on 2011-02-11 08:46 (UTC)

Updated to turboprint 2.18-1.

Harvey commented on 2011-02-11 08:35 (UTC)

2.18-1 is out http://www.turboprint.de/history.html

net147 commented on 2010-12-31 12:10 (UTC)

there is no xtpsetup. apparently the graphical user interface can be accessed by running the turboprint executable.

erpl commented on 2010-12-31 12:03 (UTC)

Hi net147, thank you very much for that package. Just a few questions: Am I mistaken or is there no xtpsetup in this build? Do I have to istall another package? Many thx in advance and keep up the good work! Cheers, erpl

commented on 2010-12-20 11:46 (UTC)

Wow, thank you very much for your rapid reaction. Happy X-Mas for you and all others.

net147 commented on 2010-12-20 09:40 (UTC)

Done.

commented on 2010-12-20 09:23 (UTC)

@net147: cururrent version is now 2.17-2. Could you please update the pkgbuild? thx in advance!

commented on 2010-08-10 11:34 (UTC)

Hi! I found a small error... I can install Printers in v but not with the TP Gui! But this is important cause i want to use "profile service"? Did someone have the same Problem?
